Push It

I'm doing another draft of my manuscript from last year. And I'm suspicious that the story I want to write is still beyond my skill to convey.

It's got 2+ protagonists, who are also each others' antagonists...4+ POVs...action sequences...and about a million sub-plots.

What do I do? I still believe in the story, but I just don't know if I can handle it. On the other hand, it feels like a cop-out to dump it.

What if I'm just not pushing myself hard enough? What if this is as hard as I can push?
