just realized exponential growth exists, not feeling good.
(lengthy explanation: when writing a choose-your-own-story in which the story doesn't divert back to itself, each choice would continue to have a different outcome. one choice would have two outcomes, those two outcomes would also have two outcomes for each choice given, etc. it's essentially 2^x (x being however many choices I want total) so I wanted 15 choices originally. 2^15 is over 30,000. meaning I'd have to write over 30,000 chapters eight times, because I wanted eight routes.
I said ambitious, but not that ambitious.
damnit.)
