I'm getting there. I found several pacing issues last night and thought through them during the more tedious parts of work. Now my pacing is impeccable, and it only took 45 minutes. Then I worked through the dialogue changes, ensuring they were smoother. I also worked out that I had missed a part of my storytelling: the wound. The reason why the main characters were the way they are. Why their flaws were there in the first place. I made it work for my big three in less than 20 minutes. They were pretty-well established, so it was very little effort. At this point, I'm just trying to ensure I don't tweak my pacing while doing this.
I got the first two in without an issue, and then I hit the god damn wall. I just stared at the page, dead. Redbull had worn off, and now I was down to Deadmau5, binaural beats, and the crushing tedium of the day. Went on a Redbull run, and this is me waiting for it to kick in. I know WHAT to change, for WHO, and WHERE, but I just couldn't do it. The wall was too much. The day caught up with me.
Alright, we're going. My fingers and toes are feeling it. Time to finish this bitch.
ADDENDUM: I've finished it and titled it. I have a couple more polishes to do, but yeah. It's about as good as it's going to get. This is a winner, I can smell it. If nothing else, it'll at least place. I got everything exactly how and where I want it. I did multiple dialogue passes and everything. Now I'm doing one final pass to ensure everyone has their individual voice, and then it's a final quality polish. I'm excited. This came a long way in a short time. I thank the muse for being so facilitative. And now I'm going to sleep for a long fucking time.
