Haha I don’t use a checklist anymore, I just write and see what fits and what doesn’t. Most times I end up researching “Clothes of ‘Era'” or “How was ‘topic’ done in “era”‘ etc etc. Lots of fun, time wasting, informative and helps build a better world with more understanding.
I should probably get a checklist anyway…
Hey, you gotta do what works for you. I like checklists because I like to see everything laid out before me… Like, my notes have to be neat. Not all the time, but that’s what helps me.

My pleasure.
I don’t think I’ve ever thought about currency.
It’s the things that are just so “obvious” that we always forget about it.
Right? Money doesn’t cross my mind.
Make a world where money doesn’t exist, lol.
Haha, I wish that was the real world.
Same!
