My Boneteller problem has been solved. :D I just... needed to get rid of the old beginning, even though I didn't want to. Now I'm quite pleased to do so, since I've thought of a better one. xD
It's all because of Annie Dillard; I finished her "An American Childhood" last night, and started on "The Writing Life" today. What's the first thing it says? You have to be willing to drop old stuff so you can better everything else.
And then she keeps coming back to that. She moves on, but it always comes back to that you need to be willing to keep moving forward rather than getting stuck with your head on backwards. She's totally just bashing on people who can't let go of things. I was like, "Augh, guilt trip!"
But her books are almost as good as scripture at always giving me what I need in life. >.> Hopefully I'm not going to be struck down for blasphemy saying that.
I don't know if Madison saw my little epiphany moment during lunch today; I was reading my book, and then the new start just came to me like a whirlwind and I whipped out my notebook and started writing. I've written four-ish fat paragraphs in the ten or so minutes I've worked on it since then. xD And I'm enjoying it very much.
Hooray for Boneteller V3.5 (because the three pages of V3 just aren't enough to merit a whole new number :P)! xD

I knew it! As I was reading this! I was all like; "I wonder if that's why she put her book down and started writing, and staring off into deep space, I mean, I rarely give her anytime to read books in my presence, and her she was, all permission given, and she WASN'T reading." I knew it!!!!!!!!!!! YES! I'm so claiming a part in this. I gave you the time to come up with your amazing "epiphany"! :)
