Having trouble with the second draft. Gave the first a once-over this weekend, and managed only to change a word here and there, and realized there are two fairly important scenes that were left completely unfinished in my haste to get to the end of the story. So, now I'm caught in the struggle of 'What the Story Needs'. Should there be more action here? More explanation there? A bit more character or a bit less dialogue? I really need someone else to read through it. It follows the path I'd set out for it when I set up the plot structure, and certainly I'm glad that I'm finished with it this far, but I really feel that it needs something of substance. Oh, and the title will also likely change as well - 'Curse of the Moon's Eye' is a holdover from this story's first bubbling incarnation over a decade ago, and now the Moon's Eye itself has a very small role in the book. Maybe that's the problem...
