Hi guys.
I'm stuck trying to decide whether the solar event that must occur for the character to experience fantastic events should be large enough, at least like the Carrington Event of 1859, but still allow the character at least seven days to reach the designated location for a significant part of the plot to unfold. Should I be less obsessive about this or refine it until it's scientifically plausible? This came to me after reading a book called *Napoleon's Pyramids*, which had segments that, despite being science fiction, were quite illogical.
