I've decided to stop trying to rescue what I wrote. It's horrid, it's amateur, and it's not salvageable. I'm not going to edit the story. I'm just going to start from the ground up and rewrite it chapter by chapter, starting with the prologue. I should have that up by tomorrow. Apologies to anyone who liked what I had, but I hate it and I need to like what I write or I wind up quitting. Here's hoping the new version will be better.

*sigh* Okay, as much as I am loathe to admit this, I'm simply too out of practice to both write and edit my stories. I'm hoping somepony will find it in their hearts to help me out... please? I used to take real pride in my writing. I need help to get back to where I once was before a long stint of not writing shot my skills to hell.
