On revision 3 of my second novel and one thing I’m noticing is that I’m cutting a lot of interiority (the kind where the protagonist explains their choices, not their observations). Feel like it’s useful scaffolding while drafting, but now that the story hangs together better, it’s too much. But, it’s only felt like this by draft 3. So, in some sense, if I can safely take out these “explaining themselves” interiority moments, it feels like I’m on the right track.
