So I've actually gone and finished my first draft a mile ahead of the deadline for once - HOORAY!

Alas I'm stuck on 290 words and am terrified of cutting - BOO!

Anyone around to help me lose the excess? 😊

Slicing and dicing is my favourite thing to do, I LOVE writing short (very short) stories, so DM me if you still need a hand!
