% of draft trashed
Editing doesn’t work like this. This implies that only neat blocks are removed & measured (I save any large cuts).
I perform multiple edits, adding & subtracting each time. Yes, my final WIP is 10-15% shorter after all my passes, but how much was added? I’ve no idea.
Too, every draft, every book is different, & I tend to remove less with more recent works, but not always.
