the_rckI'm still fighting with my Wayback story. It keeps wanting to skitter sideways into worldbuilding and introspection in order to avoid scenes and details that are necessary-- description, mostly, and my POV character's reactions to all of the things I ought to describe. Right now, I'm trying to write the plot thru-line to the end so that I don't keep stopping dead over the description. I'll go back and spackle over those holes after I have the frame complete.
I need to get a bus draft of this one because, as long as I don't have one, I'm probably going to get daily migraines. They'll be largely menstrual, but the stress of an unfinished project with a looming due date tips things over.
Scott asked last night if the fans in my laptop were running. I told him that, so far as I knew I didn't have any and hadn't had in my previous machine. I'd never once heard them. He found a program that would let me manipulate the fan speed and that tells me the temperature of various components in degrees C. Setting the left fan to about 2/3 of its maximum speed is helping with the overheating. I haven't fiddled as much with the right fan yet because I want to see what the left fan does to my battery life.
I can actually hear the fan now. I couldn't before. The program says that the range for the fans is 2000-6200 RPM. Running on auto, the fans were running at 2000, plus or minus 5, and a lot of components in the laptop were worryingly warm.
I know I had a bunch of things I wanted to mention, but they've all decided to wander. Scott and Cordelia have been gone for an hour. I'm going to see if I can sleep a little more.
