I *think* right now I'm caught between wanting to get the bit I've written so far "perfect" (or as much so as possible) and moving on and just getting more of the story down. I'm guessing you know what I mean by that?
I had not thought previously about long sentences being a problem, but since several of you have mentioned it, I guess it's something I'll need to work on. Unfortunately, that's kind of my style up to this point and it's going to be difficult to alter.
