My starvation diet for Switch is bearing results. I've cut it by about 10%, I think without sacrificing any of the story arc. I found that some scenes were really repeated, or they were essentially versions of other scenes. I didn't really need to hammer it home that finely, so I cut the one that felt tacked-on.
I'm a little concerned that the story won't flow when I get it all done, as I'd used some exposition to break up some action, but it should work. I'm happy to have tightened it up, at any rate. There's more to cut, too. I think if I go back to the front end I could probably do some work in the first five or ten chapters to cut those down.
