Round One is Over

It has taken me a couple of months, but I'm finally done with the first round of serious edits to my novel. I shaved about 20 pages from the original 250, and it came in at something like 74,000 words. Now that I have it down that far (with expectation that it will be kicked down in word count again during round 2) it's time to put some other stuff in.

- The main character must be expanded, his story encompassing the salient points of life after the Mexican Revolution.
- The story arc needs to be clarified, as each story must make it clear which sacrament it is meant to encompass.

This is where the rubber meets the road, ladies and gentlemen.
