Kurt Vonnegut had this amazing lecture on YouTube. About time lines. It may not be the exact same advice but it’s always helped when I’m writing. https://youtu.be/GOGru_4z1Vc
Also you just gave me the idea I should probably write a chapter I will never only use sparsely as my character soapbox. Maybe I should do that for all of my characters.

He's brilliant. The Vonnegut Museum in Indianapolis is pretty cool. I had something weird happen recently. Was looking for a Kurt quote from Pity the Reader, and happened upon an article about this hack writer who did a biography that portrays Kurt as abusive, focuses on his negative qualities, etc. The next day I was talking to this gal I met online, got on the subject of Vonnegut, and it turned out that the negative bio author was her father. Kurt obviously had PTSD, and Im sure he was a jerk sometimes, but he was also a very sweet man.
Love that lecture! Also, the Vonnegut documentary that came out in 2021 (called "Unstuck In Time," of course) was fantastic if you haven't seen it yet.

Just a different perspective of vertical vs horizontal.
He’s so funny too.
