I have more good news to combat the bad in that I was able to fix my laptop's resolution issues. What I found was something less epic than I imagined, but no less an addition to our scenes. Compounding the bad, however, I nearly lost all my work from the past week due to a Microsoft Word saving mishap. Thankfully, I was able to recover all the writing and retain my work through several devious, autosave fiddling. Damn you, technology, for nearly twice ruining my work!
