Eleventh rewrite done. Reduced the novel Ghoul World by 168 pages and by 54,595 words. The last two chapters produce a problem. They are explanatory and introduce a utopian theme to the dystopian ending and they explain all that has gone before for the reader. I kept a lot of things mysterious to the reader till the end. I fear to submit it in this state. I can see it as a movie, and, oh, so much would not be included that is in the novel. What a problem! Could an entirely new vision and revision be required? A 12th rewrite? Good heavens and gadzooks.
