What do exposition and 'sausage making' have in common?

I've been firing on all cylinders in the last week. My daughter caught a debilitating stomach virus. I ended up self-medicating with YouTube videos and experimented with social media. I rubbed my daughter's belly and sang, "belly ache, belly ache, go away, go away." She's better now.
