Parsing engine needs work.

So I tried Venice. 
Snort. I handed it 9 scenes from the novel I’m writing. the opening 6, then a package of 3 flashback scnes scenes from last fall.  Each scene has a title, then a date line taht starts in this case, either “Present Day and a date”  or “Last Fall and a date.”

• It was confused about the datelines. It thought that First Day of Class, Detention, and Dogboy had present moments between them.

Venice Uncensored 1.2

In the provided text, the flashback scenes are generally separated from the present-day events by datelines, but there are instances where the transition between past and present is not as clear. Here are the points where the separation is less obvious:

1. Transition from "Five Pounds of Detention" to Present Day:

   • The end of the flashback scene "Five Pounds of Detention" does not have a clear break or indication that the narrative is returning to the present day. The text simply moves from the flashback to the present-day scene with Rebel and his friends discussing the day's events.

2. Transition from "Dog boy!" to Present Day:

   • The flashback scene "Dog boy!" ends without a clear break or indication that the narrative is returning to the present day. The text immediately follows this scene with the present-day events of Rebel's paper route and his interactions with his customers.

3. Present Day Scene Following "Dog boy!":

   • The present-day scene that follows the flashback "Dog boy!" starts with "Both Bug and Kaylee agreed to drop by the Sally Anne and tell Henry about the day." This transition could be more explicit to clearly indicate that the narrative has returned to the present day. These points in the text where the transitions between past and present are less clearly marked can contribute to the confusion about the timeline and the sequence of events.

• Where Martha says

“Sure, mom. You burned my clothes, remember. You refused to replace them remember. This cost me a nickel. And it is allowed at school. Mr. C said so.” She went quiet. That was the dangerous quiet, the one Rebel had learned to recognize. Not the quiet before a storm. The quiet of someone doing math in her head. "The Andersons' boy," she said finally. "The one who went to California. He came back wearing things like that. His mother doesn't speak to him anymore." Rebel waited. "Do you want that, Chris? Do you want me to stop speaking to you?" Well, did he mind? 

Venice thought this indicated that Martha was being conciliatory, not manipulative.

I tried uploading my current manuscript.  It tells me it’s 3.6 times too big.  But it doesn’t tell me what the limits actually are.  

Talking to your help bot, it indicated an upload size for text that was about 1/100 of the size of my upload.  

The user interface freezes when I make an upload that is too big.  I have to manually remove the attempted upload before the question box accepts any input.
