BREAKING: Californians overwhelmingly approve Prop 50, a pro-democracy measure that allows the state to redraw its congressional map to counter Trump’s election rigging efforts. The Golden State moves one step closer to gaining five Democratic U.S. House seats in 2026. More to come.

I don't buy into the plotter v pantser debate. It's divisive. There's no ONE WAY to write. You do you. Follow the path that works.
