I had a thought process
What if I got rid of my iPhone tomorrow?
Immediate impact: need new not-smart phone for calls/text
Need a garmin for route guidance
Need MP3 player for music to-go
Long-term: reduced SM activity, reduced doom scrolling, all major life activity is PC-side

Heya, #NovemberWorldbuilders! It's the last day of our HISTORY week. Tell me something about the more recent history of your world. What's something important that happened in the last 20 years or so from when your story takes place? Perhaps something that sets off the inciting incident

I need to get better at not using walmart. Sadly I live in bicycle distance to one
As for apple, my work is tied to an iPad but my phone is through my parent’s phone plan. If I ever broke off, I think I would unload all my apps and data back to a decent office-grade laptop and go flip phone

This is why we're boycotting each company besides the fact they're run by oligarchs who are buying government influence.

All of the Green Thorn Warband travels with a weapon at all times.
However, this isn’t something I’ve really put much thought into. Many people and characters have some sort of trinket that’s usually sentimental or intrinsically useful
I have nothing for mine

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
What is something your character always carries with them?
In a purse, a bag, a secret pouch, a pocket?
Is there something they never travel without? Why?

Progress is happening. Never quite feels like enough but I’ve replaced 1 chapter with 3 new ones, reorganized the flow for all 3, cleared some clarification issues. Still have another 20+ chapters / 65k words to go and comb through and clean up
