    Hey all, well I've just finished the first draft of my first story, Like Kublai Khan I wrote the beginning of it in a drunken stupor (fortunately I had the ending already) but I'm worried the I lost the vision I had inbetween, anyways I've spent so long on it now that I can't see the wood for the trees with it and was wondering are there any glaring mistakes ? Is there any part that I as the writer took for granted and need to explain ?

    Well here it is
    Khyber pass

    Write drunk, edit sober

    It's extremely difficult to read. Run on sentences, awful punctuation.
    Edit it properly and I'll try again
