Tom Stoppard near singlehandedly inspired my love for the theatre. A Titan.

Goodnight from Jed Fielding, wondering just how many cigarettes it will take to calm him from catching one of the Widderen peering into his bedroom. Goodnight from Philippa Middlemass, dreaming of being fox-furred, feral and Queen of Elmholt Woods. Goodnight from Hookland.

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

Also related (or maybe the same): Suspense is not generated by the reader not knowing what happens next. It's generated by the reader CARING what happens next.
Related (or maybe the same) is that "I'm going to trick the reader haha" is not a good path to reader investment, but "I am going to delight the reader, haha!" is. They look the same on the surface but they're not. I always advise being generous to readers, not adversarial.

Go play this! It’s spooky, it’s interested in the deep history of Ireland, it is a detective game that really asks you to do detective work, and it’s pretty!
