Quote From tt_dan:
After a few days of work, I managed to drop from 7000+ words to the current 5300 words; would 5300 be ok?

At the moment, I'm not sure if the sentences and paragraphs are flowing : /

Hmm... Seems to be a conference on design of communication, information system and organizational systems...
Maybe should visit Belem in Lisbon, just guessing the conference...
On a serious note, try to aim for 4500 words first.
You still have nine more days? :)

Are you sure everything you have written is necessary and vital to the argument and not just you like what you have written? yo can cut, you just need to be ruthless and critically selective. Good luck :-)
