J K Rowling - under their pseudonym Robert Galbraith - wrote "The Ink-Black Heart" where texts and emails and chats played a major part. As they do nowadays. It was difficult to read in several ways but that's the reality of modern life.
Very true. Though I thought you were going to talk about how phones destroy so many plots. Like being lost in the city, or needing information from a stranger. Google and its maps take the place of so many "wizards" in the hero's journey. But messaging is a problem, too.
I'm struggling through writing my twin flame romance book based on true events from my life. One of the plot points is that a guy's phone number was kept from the main character by her sister. IRL, we had corded phones- it's been a challenge to write around this without hard dating the story to one time period. Cell phones pretty much broke the way we look at communicating. I wonder if future writers will even remember what it was like before?
