Remember, it's all downhill from here, commercials-wise.

Oh. Sales-shaming.

For the record, if I sold a measly thousand copies (the benchmark mocked in the post), I'd be utterly ecstatic.

If I let a generativeAi agent delete priceless photographs from my home computer hard drive, I'd simply disappear and never be heard from again. I'd certainly never admit such in a public forum where everyone would see what an absolute dumbass I was.

Praise the Maker in their comings and goings.

My Gifts Are Hungry is done. 537 pages. Longest one yet, though that certainly wasn't my intention when I started out.
