Compiled!

I've finally got a compiled piece of work.  Through my three points of views, I am telling the story of love and war.  And after rereading the first half, I realize with great dismay that it's somewhat boring.  Now that I've begun my editing stage and lay out the story along a congruent timeline, I see the parts that need tweaked.  A bit more creative description here.  A little removal of unnecessary detail there.  I haven't been able to sit down and get through it all consecutively which has been a detriment to the whole editing process, but I think I'm still on schedule for my Christmas deadline. 

Now if only I could stop changing the story.  Alright, so it's not exactly the story that I'm changing.  However I've decided to work in someone that I could kill senselessly.  So, I've created a valet.  Peter Collins, the Commander's valet, will meet an unfortunate end.  I haven't exactly figured out how yet.  And I hope that I make the character loved enough that my readers will be outraged by it.  But all in all, I think he'll add value and personality.
