Am I the only one who thinks their timeline looks the exact same?

@WriterScience Damn I'm probably at only 100–200 per book written.
English
@kadavy Read a thousand books for every one that you write.
English
Authors, what advice would you give someone thinking of writing a book?
English
@dennis_geelen Definitely true. Unfortunately I often find I have to write much of the book before I have a sense of that 🤣
English
@kadavy Deeply understand WHO should read your book and WHY. Until that is crystal clear, nothing else matters.

Can they make an algorithm change that makes all the mutuals that deserted come back?

@lkr I have no more tolerance for Big Media's bs. Hmmm, kind of like "weeds."
English
@kadavy you are so weird for posting this but reminds me of one of my favorite facts: "vegetable" is just a food grouping, its not any kind of scientific classification
English
Just so you know, there's no medically measurable designation for "explosive" diarrhea. There are no studies that discern what diarrhea is explosive or not. There are no scales for measuring diarrhea velocity or dispersion. Just another made-up term for getting clicks.

I can't get this movie out of my head. It's such a neat little microcosm of capitalism.
In the middle of nowhere, the first cow comes to town – fascinating to watch the economic implications of that play out.
English
@paulg If we as a society stop reading books civilization will collapse. The cultural technologies that allow us to operate at scale depend upon deep literacy.

Something I told 14 yo: People are going to stop reading books. I wish this wasn't so, but I fear it is. The silver lining in this cloud is that if you're one of the few people who still read, you'll have a huge advantage over everyone else.

Stop trying to make robots that do chores the point is to outsource the intellectual labor so we have time to do our own dishes.

@kaleighf Look at it more optimistically maybe on vacation they died
English
There is someone on my newsletter who's had an OOO vacation autoresponder on for six weeks now...and I am so jealous of that person
English
@wonder_city_ It turns out neither atomic nor explosive nor projectile are actual medical terms for diarrhea.
English
@kadavy I always thought the upper end of the medical designation was "atomic diarrhea"

Putting together the acknowledgements for my book and it's so cool to see that one of the Preview Edition customers is also the very first person to ever buy a course from me, 15 years ago.
English
Would you trust an LLM to alphabetize a list of people by last name without inventing and modifying names?
English
@Shpigford I have used Incorp for like ten years and it's...fine? Don't really think about it.
English
@DavidDecosimo People are acting like the only way to type notes is to use a laptop. Get yourself a BYOK.
English
University of Chicago Law School had decided to ban *not just AI* but laptops from the first year law classroom. This is the way!

The first major university that publicly commits to a total AI ban in its undergrad teaching (no AI in class, in creating syllabi or class prep, creating & completing assignments, or grading) and makes that part of its brand will see a major surge in applications & enrollment.

We're in a period of digital barbarism. We haven't developed the conceptual and cultural technology to govern our desire for information to the extent we have for violence, sex, and food.
English
If anything AI has made writing a book harder because that perfect image in your mind is put within reach and you have to work even harder to try to achieve it.
