This particular thinking problem is TOO BIG and encompasses like, the whole book, and I can’t wrap my head around the whole book all at once, dammit.

There are too many lost opportunities going on here.

I need an entire WEEK all, all alone, with someone to bring me my meals, and a really long, conference-room length conference table (except: I don’t want to retreat to some abysmal convention center or something), okay, I want an ENTIRE WEEK up at the Buddhist retreat center and I want a hallway with a hallway-length whiteboard and windows looking out onto the pines. Dammit.

And Scrivener keeps crashing, probably because my computer is a POS, and I chose to be all adult and pay off my credit cards instead of buy a new one, boring.

{okay, that was my bitch break while Scrivener rebooted, going back in.}
