Working on the next chapter, and realizing something I wish I could do.

So, as I've written more of Rising, I've come to realize that there's something I wish I could do with the formatting. Namely, I wish I could have two columns of text, one that would represent the main narrative from Sunset's external perspective, and one that could be used for when Sunset and Philomena are sending, or when Philomena is sharing her perspective. I don't know how easy something like that would be to read, but I think it would give a better representation of the way the bond works.

Nothing wrong with experimenting. If it doesn't work just go back to a normal format.

Unfortunately, the website UI doesn't allow for it.

I think you can jimmy something but it might be extremely difficult and kill phone users. Like this...

Edit: No. Yeah. You're right. I can only get it to look correct when I'm typing it. Unfortunate.

Changing the font color perhaps?

Yeah this is the best for this kind of thing. Works well for internal and external dialogue as well.

Yeah, I've been there before. Parallel concurrent columns just aren't available. Even the footnote tools like [right_insert] get real messy with multiple paragraphs (and they don't work on mobile.)

I was trying things like this earlier, but the only way I could make anything look halfway decent was to make an image of the chapter text, and use this instead. downside is that this kills all site features. Wordcount, font, lite and dark themes, etc.
