Logan, What do I use to open a .tex file?
It is (nearly) impossible to optimize anything without criteria and knowledge of free independent variables. This is best and most easily done with knowledge of good exemplars. The only reason present stories sound interesting is that readers are NOT familiar with such exemplars, so they read stories against our present backdrop. Starwars has shifted that backdrop, but not in any real-world sort of way. To illustrate, Islam spectacularly succeeds in voluntarily keeping families together and raising children with their biological parents, but fails to raise smart children, or regulate population in an acceptable way, so there is a LOT to learn and understand - and add to correct its shortcomings. As you pile on more corrections, you get to a point of starting over with a clean slate. That is where I am now.
