The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

"How do you know that? How do you know things??"
I don't know, man. Books, essays, I continued to be curious after I was finished with formal education? It's not witchcraft, just keep learning things.

Few things I love more than writing.
Few things I dread more than starting to write.
That first paragraph. White-knuckle through that and you're sailing.

The hard truth of it is, that to write a novel, you have to sit in front of that keyboard and work, day after day, until it's done.

You ever think about how a T-Rex slept?
How she had to rest, nestle down at night?
How she laid eggs, when they hatched they were hungry?
How they couldn't hunt for themselves so small?
How they must have lived in nesting pairs?
How it was all on the same planet you live on now, with the same rain?

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words.
But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

“Write to the market.”
You’ll never catch the market. By the time you’ve written it, the market is gone. Write what you’re on fire to write, and sometimes the market shows up.
