Possibility vs. Probability.
I've addressed it before and you can find it somewhere back there in my blogs. I think it was around the time when I talked about images of story characters; nope, no NIL clause for my characters thankyouplease.
So yeah, more time error people. That's not what I was trying to write, I was researching and trying to put together a realistic 19th century African Prince and his wife.
Instead I got Urkel on the paper. I really don't get to consciously decide these things, if I did Crazy Mary would never have happened and Michelle would be back in OKC instead of slowly going Bi before our very eyes in 1822. I didn't plan any of those things but that's what came out while I was writing.
The greater effect of the "time errors" or "twitches" will be addressed in a different writing. I'm not ignoring it but I'm not going to start something new before I've finished this. I'll not start a rewrite or anything else until this story concludes.
Please don't twitch out before then.
