famine after feast

The character had several things happening at once.

 So I juggled them all, and found that as soon as it got past that, I realized that dead time hit.  Some tedious stretches for her.

Interrupted, but first I have to establish them.

this will be important later

Introduce him, introduce her, show off that -- 

She's too important a character to just fade into the woodwork.  Even if she is shy, the heroine will be determined that she has a good time at the school.  

And the other villain of the piece should make an appearance too, even if he can be downplayed later.

Foreshadowing, I suppose.  And there should be some day-to-day school stuff between the highlights

A Nervous Splendor

A Nervous Splendor: Vienna 1888/1889 by Frederic Morton

A discussion of Vienna before, around, and after the suicide of Crown Prince Rudolf.

Discusses all sorts of people. Some famous, some to be famous, others never to be more than footnotes. Creates a mood piece, possibly shaded. Discusses politics and arts. How the Hapsburgs set about modernizing Vienna by tearing down its walls, and more.
