The AI/ChatGPT voice is really fucking distinct.
And it's kind of hilarious that people who use LLMs to pretend to write aren't familiar enough with the craft to realize that.
Nor will they ever be.

Feels like I'm getting back into the groove. Rise will unfortunately launch a bit later than intended, but at least things are moving again.

Maybe this is just hella misaligned with my sense of humor (happens more than you think) but...
The whole "I know I'm a real writer because I hate writing" shtick really gets under my skin.
I fucking love writing. I do it all the time, and I get angy when I can't.

🧀But I'm back to work, and if I squint, I can tell myself I'll make my deadline.

Tonight I vibe with some old school triphop (Thievery Corporation atm) and a book.
Hit me up with some of your best downtempo beats so I can jack 'em for my playlist.

The second-worst thing about your Kindle running out of battery is how absolutely you know you have only yourself to blame.

maybe a bit of a weird flex, but...
for a bit now, my ads have been profitable when accounting for readthrough across the entire series. but now i'm closing in on the holy grail of book 1 profitability.
makes me feel like i actually kinda know what i'm doing here.

Made up yesterday's word deficit. Monday marks the start of my first full week drafting Rise B2.
B1 betas left some good notes. Shouldn't be too hard to implement the changes, and it'll really punch up the opening chapters.

Watching the Cradle animatic. This series is so peak. Its the reason I'm still writing, tbh.
Reading Cradle was like being given permission to write the stories I'd always wanted. Legend of Ascension (and by extension, my career) exists because of Cradle.
This deserves to be made.

So I was looking in my pantry (don't ask why, I don't know) and saw that I have 5 boxes of pancake mix. Why do I have them? I don't know. When did I buy them? No idea, either. Now I can't stop thinking about it.

This very much qualifies.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
