The Final Storm

Plugging along here.

I am confronting a very complex problem. That is, we have four acts essentially; an intro, the battle in Europe, the battle at sea and the wrap up (saving the spoilers here).

I had the same problem with Eastern Storm and solved it by lopping off 30,000 words which are now the first 30,000 in The Final Storm. This book would feel much better structured without the sea battle, but it has to be in there.

I suppose I could intermingle the acts, but then the reader is bounces all over the place, from Warsaw to the Kola, to the Crimea, to the Sea of Japan back to Warsaw, then to Washington....

I like things nice and organized, like a concise paragraph.
