I can't remove the image of little green men mucking about in Rohan.
Time jump:
Will we still have 'tomorrow'?
I have several things that need to be done 'tomorrow':
Farahil and Lin leave, therefore Farahil will be saying goodbye, Degas will be reacting to the news, and Saeryn will be upset to see her friend and *blush* Farahil leaving. Those things can be done in retrospect, though I'd prefer to write it as it happens.
What is a lot more awkward to write reflectively is the series of topics that Saeryn and Degas need to cover in conversation.
Also, Saeryn and Eodwine will be wanting to discuss the court proceedings rather immediately after they end, one would think.
And Degas will be wanting to have a private word with Eodwine. That one can wait a few 'days' if it must, but my other posts really want for 'tomorrow'.
So if the time jump goes from this night to something not the chronological next day, I'll be rather put out and have to rethink a few things, but I'll deal with it.
If my concerns are superfluous and
of course we have tomorrow and the time change will happen AFTER that, then I can work with just about anything, though the shorter the jump, the easier to keep up with some quickly developing characters. Farahil is pretty static, but Saeryn and Degas have recently been through some interesting and are changing as quickly as hourly for it. They need their development time or what I see happening to them will be very awkward to convey
well to readers and fellow writers.
So yeah... I need my tomorrow and then the shorter the jump the better, at least for now.
