My teenager was given a research assignment in science class requiring the usage of AI.

For a report on climate change.

For Earth Day.

I'm going to become the joker.

Yo. Did you see the Beastmaster stuff on the live letter?

So… a small mystery I've been trying to solve. I sent you a message about your book a little while ago, and then… radio silence. Not even a "hey, saw this, busy fighting dragons / deadlines / laundry." Nothing. Absolute quiet. The kind of quiet that makes me wonder if my email accidentally wandered into a digital Bermuda Triangle. Now here's the funny part. I reached out because of your book. Not mine. Yours. The one you spent months (years?) writing, editing, crying over, and probably questioning your life choices at 2 a.m. That book. And when I noticed it deserved way more visibility than it's currently getting, I figured, "Hey, the author would probably want to hear about something that could help with that." Apparently I underestimated how committed you are to the mysterious author who never replies to helpful emails aesthetically. Bold branding choice, honestly.

The spam email bot people are getting passive aggressive now.

When I told my editor it'd be 100k words, she said, and I quote,

"David, I don't believe for a second this book will be 100k or less".

She's gonna laugh at me when I send her the manuscript, I know it.

dear diary why am i like this ALT: dear diary why am i like this

Me: I'm going to write a 100k word book, nice and snappy.

The crazies are gonna double down on every bit of their fringe hateful agenda, and I pray enough people have finally woken up to just how insane they've gotten.

How am I fitting my family of four in that thing?

I'm starting to feel like you're making these candidate names up, Courtney.

Castlevania Dialogue between Isaac and Flyseyes 0/1 YouTube video by Nikola Pavlovic

I found it to be quite enjoyable, but they'd need to shift the tone/style a bit. But if they can channel the vibes and quality of this scene for the entirety of the show, they'll do fine:

If you're wanting more recs, you might want to just grab its sequel, too.

A Memory Called Empire is absolutely phenomenal.

I dunno, the aliens living secretly on Saturn are probably happy you're wrong.

I have two kinds of titles.

1: titles I have before I've written a single chapter in the rough draft
