Short term #Goals are helpful on a larger project, because I work more intently as they get close.
I enjoy squeezing a created neighborhood among real ones. It anchors the fiction, fills in the macro aspects and provides room for #writing.
Does anyone know if anti-tracking can be left on (for privacy) but the ad blocker turned off in #Firefox?
Is there a way to save hashtags, to build a list of #s to take a look at once in a while?
