Day 8: Campfire is a panic attack in the making

A few days into using Campfire to write my novel, and I kind of hate it.

Earlier I said I was trying it out to help me keep track of my worldbuilding elements — sort of like a wiki to keep track of magic system notes, maps with pins and labels, how different plotlines weave into one another...and from what I can tell, that's working great!

My mistake was using it to actually write. When I dumped the prologue into Campfire from Ulysses, the formatting fell apart, and I had to redo it all. I didn't think this would be an issue until I wrote three and a half more chapters and tried exporting it. The formatting was gone again.

The worldbuilding features are really nice though, so I'll keep using those for now.
