Good evening. As I become more into blogging, one thing has become clear. One can get entangled in blog hopping. Anyway, I jumped on a chance to enter a contest from another blogger. This forced me to get off the sofa and work on one of my manuscripts. I found myself "cutting" over 100 words from my draft. This was liberating. I know that Stephen King calls it "killing your babies" in his book, On Writing. I prefer a less harsh term. Regardless, it amounts to the same thing. It truly gets easier the more you do it. I recommend trying this. The best way is to just do it when it makes sense.
I hope this helps you get started cutting away. The more work you do now is less work for the editor which relates to better chances for publication.
Take care,
PB
