@npub10n9…tjug MC is mostly comforted by his infatuations, that’s kinda the problem lol.

@npub10n9…tjug I never name things until they're finished. I don't find titles inspiring, I find them to be a source of constraining preconceptions.
Hence, only when it's finished can it be named, because only then do I know what it's really about :-)
I particularly like enigmatic titles, poetic and ambiguous to readers until they've finished it too. Titles like that only come when they're ready.

@npub10n9…tjug Yeah I do this lot, and I'm really vague about the passing of time ("a few weeks later", "at some point last year" etc.) so the timeline isn't solidified, allowing for unwritten questions about chains of cause and effect. And the MC's age is never explicitly said, you have to work it out.
I've also been messing with tense shifting within sentences, eg. the sentence begins a few seconds ago, but then time catches up halfway through and the sentence switches to present tense :-)

@npub10n9…tjug Actually it might not apply to Word and similar programs anyway, since they contain layout information like page and text colors, which dark mode isn't supposed to change.

@npub10n9…tjug Have you tried Dark Mode?
(Don't know what operating system you use, but MacOS, Win10 and Win11 all have system settings for this. Might not help anyway, some people love it some people hate it, but it's a thought.)

@npub1zyl…t54n Also pretty sure that some of the tobacco companies did try that.
