Midpoint, Check. First Draft, In Progress

So, up to the Midpoint has been completed. But after getting back comments on Act I, I feel like I've done one of those two steps forward, three steps back sort of things. Matt made a really good point that makes me feel really stupid: my hero doesn't do anything of any great interest until the end of Act I. Up until then, all he does is take care of his father and run his father's store. Big woop. I need to punch this thing up, but I'm not sure how yet. I'll continue on the path I'm on and finish my entire first draft. From there I'll tear it down and build it back up. I'll never get done if I try to figure this out now.
