Maybe I should start doing writing exercises. You know, write a pastiche of an M.R. James story, and then one in Gibsonâs style, a Stephenson version, a Lovecraft, etc. Fiction is pretty hard.

constrained writing exercise: a dictionary that tells a story through the concepts it introduces (hard mode: preserve alphabetic order)
Moderan reads like if dril was a battle-cyborg & tried to write his autobiography but kept on getting distracted by how COOL it is to PLASTIC-WRAP THE EARTH.
Read some excepts from a book I randomly found yesterday. While the writing was a little dry, I thought it could be an interesting read. However when I looked on Amazon, found out the book was 80 USD. Iâm sorry but it was not that interesting.
@nblade@nblade.sdf.org If everybody is happy with the format, sure! Writing a new spec is on my todo list for a long time. Maybe thatâs a good reason to do it.

Bad idea of the day: âtwitch writes a novelâ: the previous ~15 words are shown & the top ~20 next words based on a markov model of some corpus are voted on over a 2 minute period (going to the first item, if no votes are cast) until 50k words are written.

Writing long, overly complex, & logically flawed apologia of bad mainstream ideas in order to recast them as revolutionary is a growth industry. (See the âintellectual dark webâ, whose major unifying trait is boringly normie positions.) Why not reach for a surreal or absurd take?
