I've been thinking about how, in the books I'm reading, and the book I'm writing, phones are much more utilitarian than they are in real life. The characters hardly ever pull out their phones to scroll or check apps. Romance is the genre of connection, and I think it's telling how little phones appear in those stories.
That is telling. Our phones have become indispensable and at the same time a source of disconnection.
I’m revisiting a book I started writing 11 years ago and thinking on it, the phones in there are certainly more utilitarian than they were even back then.

I’m definitely looking forward to your book!
