Absolutely giant brain stuff.

THE HARBINGERS comes out one week(!!!) from today!(!!!!)

Here's another quick peak at the script for our first episode, out October 14th!
ADAM BLACKWELL 
Okay, this - we’ve only got a few
minutes left. So we’ll call this
good for today, rather than diving
into a whole other topic. Does
anybody have any questions?

Practically every hand in the auditorium shoots up.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Any questions that... don’t have to
do with my unusual abilities?


Slowly... most hands dwindle downwards.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
Yeah, all right. Everyone, I need
you all to understand... This is a
serious class, okay? I take the
academic study of Harbinger
languages seriously, and I expect
you to do the same. Anything else
that I can do... that’s not really
what we’re here for, okay?

A wave of half-hearted “okays” sweeps through the room.

ADAM BLACKWELL (CONT'D)
... which is why we’re only going
to do this once, okay?

NEVERMIND, WE’RE SO BACK. Everyone is leaning forward.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

The kickstarter page says there's just a few hours left to support TAFCON, but we have In Demand enabled, so you'll still be able to get tickets tomorrow (and tomorrow and tomorrow). But once they sell out, that's all we've got!

THE HARBINGERS premieres next week!

So all of this week we're going to be sharing little sneak peaks at the show.

Starting with this little glimpse at our first episode... and a bit of info on when the series is taking place. 👀
ADAM BLACKWELL
Let’s... let’s get across the
river.

CLAUDIA SKINNER
Terrific. Let’s.

Skinner hits a BUTTON and the TAPE RECORDER STARTS TO RUN.

CLAUDIA SKINNER (CONT'D)
This is Claudia Skinner, handling
case MGR-83-1. This is
information/prep session number
one. It is November seventh, 2030.

Oh, right. Yes. It is. 2030 A.D. Just so you know.

CLAUDIA SKINNER (CONT'D)
Dr. Blackwell, just so we can get
the formalities out of the way...
could you please state your full
name? As well as the capacity in
which you are known as a public
figure?

Also, if anyone is around NYC tomorrow night, I’m putting on a new radio play with Living Radio!

We’re doing a showcase of six brand new radio plays based on last week’s news!

And since it’s October, these are all horror stories and/or mysteries!

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

The most common error I see as a book editor is incorrectly punctuated dialogue.

NO: “Nice to meet you.” She said.
YES: “Nice to meet you,” she said.

NO: “Likewise.” The editor said.
YES: “Likewise,” the editor said.

NO: She smiled, “Hi."
YES: She smiled. “Hi.”
