Okay. Strictly speaking the next step is to begin a breakdown of each character's storyline. However the extended paragraph has many holes in it and it doesn't really solve many of the plotting problems I have.
The first thing is, I would like there to be two distinct, but equally plausible, interpretations. The first is the rational one, where there were no fairies, homunculi, sea monsters or anything else except as part of Tommy's dream-version of reality. And the other of course is that all of those things happened. So really I need two parallel plots.
The other is I would like Tommy to be a homunculus (and this is also a version of Pinocchio, the boy without a soul). And I VERY MUCH like the idea that Mr Bliss shows up as the boy's tutor.
Hmmm. Back to previous step.

What about the yanking? You are going to leave the yanking in, aren't you??
Oh yes. A boy and his pizzle.
Just popped in to steal your underwear from the washing line and say keep up the good work.

Are you trying to plot backwards? I did that too but it's difficult. Maybe an approach as
get you pitch (one sentence)
get your pitches for antagonist and subcharacters
decide who has the most to lose
and focus on this person.
Don't overcomplicate things.
