It's annoying that you can't add alt text after the fact. ☹️ Also that buffer doesn't have a setting to remind you if you forget it. Anyway, it was a photograph from an overlook - a forest in fall colors with a river winding through it.

When you have a year+ reading streak going, until one day your brain forgets that books exist. (This has happened twice before.)

I do my own thing, but I think their templates are solid. I also forget about them sometimes. Recently fixed a continuity error because I went by memory instead of looking up where MC was born. 😂

That's probably true in a lot of cases!

I use Scrivener (love it!) so I have a section for "Characters". Each MC has their own page there. I also sometimes write down their abilities in RPG terms, like a character sheet.

A lot of my stories end up being about "found family". I didn't do it deliberately, it was just what I gravitated to enough that it became a pattern.

I always write a basic bio for main characters. Family, where they're from, important experiences. Details can be added later, but it's at least a baseline.

The dx was previously split, and I don't see how going back helps anyone. Lots of conditions come with internal classes that affect treatment - like types of diabetes or degrees of visual impairment. I'd rather see better ways to identify what supports are needed than arbitrary hi/lo categories.
