Bluh. I've written myself into a corner. It's either timeskip past the boring recuperation and miss out on a character, or go through a couple long and boring essentially plotless scenes.

Obviously the latter is out of the question.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Couldn't you use flashbacks in another place to introduce the character anyway, or would that be too much work?

How well developed is the character in your head? If he's detailed, see if you can put him somewhere else without shoehorning him. What is this for, may I ask?

Nah, I was talking about 12 Monkeys.  That movie was weird and confusing, and had no real resolution except "The nominal good guy destroyed the world with a stable time loop, whoopse!"  Yeah, my point is, the plot was just so convoluted I don't know who was supposed to be what.

I didn't "get" that movie either.  Brad Pitt's wacky antics did nothing for me, even though I've liked him in plenty of other movies.

Oddly, I'm sick too.  Got a fierce fucking fever that refuses to stay away.  Last night I had crazy fever dreams that were like a fictionalized version of my job, where some arithmetic operation caused a giant cascading corruption during a database merge, and my brain kept replaying the failed merge in full detail, going up and down the stack trace.  Then I woke up and temporarily banished the fever with ibuprofen and a shit ton of hearty food, long enough to get some real sleep.

F*ck. Done ten sheets of calculus, and now I don't know in what order they came D:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That sums up calculus quite well. Just endless streams of numbers and letters on a page, with little to no regards to rhyme or reason.

Moderately. Enough that I'll have to change her background. Probably what I'll end up doing though.

And it's for pleasure. Otherwise I probably would have just written through and then edited later.

Make the scenes entertaining or blur through them in a paragraph or two.
There was some necessary exposition and a bedded character, I'd been kinda floundering at making them entertaining.

Aaaaannnnddd the zip version isn't any more responsive than the installed version. At least the installed version had the decency to inform me that it couldn't run properly because I wasn't system admin, but this one isn't producing an error message at all. I never really understood that, either. On every computer I've ever had, it has refused to allow me to be system admin despite my account being the only one on the computer.
