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.
