I really need to talk more about my characters and things on here but I don't really know where to begin, and I'm worried about being put on the spot where I can't possibly give certain details because I've never considered them/they don't exist/they're not important.



The worst thing about writing a story in the modern day is having to decide that some of your characters may make tech decisions you wouldn't. (eg. get an iPhone, or not use an adblocker)

I am currently looking over phones from 2017 to have an idea of how characters' phones should look. I don't strictly need to know what precise model of phone they use, but I will be judging all of their decisions. That I am making for them.



In which I spent today going over like 3-4 different copies of folders of Unityverse brainstorming and notes, tossing out old drafts, collating things into up to date singular documents, and making the timeline information a little less nonsense to read.

I was working on some other notes, but I got distracted.

I did do away with non-WTU stuff entirely, but I have it backed up if I really need it, and a lot of it was so barebones I could probably do with rewriting it all when I need to in the future. I kept the worldbuilding notes on hand, it's largely the character profiles that would need redoing entirely.

... seriously most of these folders were the same documents with slight differences from different machines, or entire pages of strikeout with a note at the end saying "don't worry about it".
