Coté's Commonplace Book #45
I’ve spent most of my content-time this week editing Monolithic Transformation. It’s rewording to simplify text here and there, and even better to slice out whole paragraphs. 18 pages in, I’ve reduced it by 3 pages. Let’s say I hit 1 page per 10, then the 82 page book will whittle down to, what, 74 pages? Damn near the perfect length.
