63ºF, clouds: Slept through my alarm (only by twenty minutes; must've turned the thing off. Morning blood sugar check reminder alert FTW) and the world didnt end, at least for now.

Returned to working with Muse – NOT as an Obsidian replacement, but as a compliment – this morning: recognized that since MainFictionThing will be released only in physical form (Press (A) 02, hopefully) it needed the spatial thinking Muse does so well for me to approximate page turns and that the more rote, line by line nature of Obsidian wasn't working: I need to see it, manipulate it.

Attempting Muse again with one eye open: flashbacks / PTSD remain from the vanishing text issues that led me to abandon Muse late last year but I'm hopeful that the Mac-iPad sync will at least absolve some of them. Nonetheless, my stance that it's a brilliant concept remains firm: I wish only that my confidence in it wasn't so bendy.

Current method/solution: Obsidian on the Mac (since the Stream Deck works only on Mac), Muse on the iPad. Type things, do full on-writing in Obsidian, add, via Universal Control, to Muse board for manipulation on iPad, return, repeat. More handwriting? Hopeful ameleoration of vanishing text issues. Live back-up, etc etc.

The Switch is a delight.
