Rejections can save us from ourselves. I just finished a draft of my book of linked stories. I demoted one narrator to a cameo and blurred one character into a nameless extra. The book now has four narrators who tell 28 stories/segments. I stumbled across a 2001 version. It has 11 narrators who tell 27 stories. Th2 2006 version is, for many reasons, much much better. Condensation isn't the only way to go, but it was the way this manuscript had to go.
