Well, either way, I think I have a way to fix a lot of The Savior Libra. What I'm going to do is open a separate doc, and put the titles of all chapters. Then, I'm going to put the synopsis of each one. Then I'm going to put TSL next to it (literally) and skim through the story. Using bullet-points, I'm going to summarize each scene. If it can be cut, it gets cut. This way I boil the plot down to the meat-and-taters. Sound practical, or risky (like I might make it too linear and simple?) I've always been a fan of sub-plots, but if no one else is, then I guess they have to go. Bear in mind that all my sub-plots, logically, contribute to the main-plot and, therefore, the ending.
