You know how we decided that exposition is what keeps everything from happening all at once?

Apparently I need more exposition.

If I figure out where I'm getting it, I'll try to email or ftp some to you.

As long as you're not the character that drives the plot, you're doing OK.

That's what I'm doing wrong! I need to exposit more...

It's so simple put that way.

Dude, you've met me.

This used to be my mantra (motto? Both) in college

Actually, I thought exposition was merely to keep everyone from talking at once. ;-)

Eeeeeee.

Good! :-)

Well, you are both in the category of "smart friends I enjoy talking to and don't see often enough"....

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks, but still and all.

This keeps translating in my head to "explosions" and somehow, I don't see more explosions being helpful...

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

No, I expect they would only add to my to-do list, starting with, "1. Clean up debris...."
