TBPH, I'm starting to think I may be trying to cram too much plot into this book.
Like, I need to admit that I can't have roughly as many plot beats as _The Lord of the Rings_ did in only 100,000 words.
Today, when my brain is really working at sub-par capacity, it becomes really obvious, as I can't figure out how to arrange things and fit them together.
I'm going to have to chop *immense* amounts of stuff when I revise from 1st to 2nd draft.
