I am, of course, following Matt's advice and writing Plot #2, where the king kills himself on account of the weather. And I'm trying to distill it to a third of its natural length, hence the greater order of magnitude of difficulty. NEVER AGAIN.
Touchy! I'm not blaming the elephants, just wondering if your handling of them is affecting your every fourth word. Some people just shouldn't write about elephants.
But your response make me fairly certain that it's the distillation that's causing you to come a cropper. No one who hasn't already written at least fifteen novels and lived in Uzbekistan for two years on a strict vegan diet can distill properly. It's well known.
Excellent choice on the plot though. Might even see you through.
