It needs a ton of revision work, especially since fiction writing isn&#39;t my expertise.&#xA;&#xA;Most people have to edit/revise down their manuscript, but I envision this being filled a bit more to 120k+ words.&#xA;&#xA;For reasons I can&#39;t say due to spoilers, the third act was the hardest for me. For most writers, the second act is the hardest, kind of that &#34;meh&#34; middle. My middle was tight and fun and easy to write. But due to a couple nontraditional story structure elements, as well as the most technical action sequence in the story, the third act was *really* hard. But I managed to figure it out and am quite satisfied with it.&#xA;&#xA;Now I have to revise and optimize it all.</html></oembed>
