figuring out that if I want to write a complicated fic with an actual detailed plot, I need to outline it to make it easier on myself

you would think we're progressing through the Philly section at a nice clip. no! they just got back from the fucking airport and are having dinner.

if sammy is gonna be a nepo baby I'm making him have anxiety about it. mostly because I had 5 elite prospects pages open and two hockey-reference pages trying to piece things together. too many connections between people.

the problem with rarepairs is I need a sounding board about a part of this fic and there ain't a damn soul that cares lmao

I just don’t see the appeal of generative AI.

It doesn’t make Art. It doesn’t write.

It generates images, it produces text, all of it derivative of preexisting works — works with actual human passion behind them — and all of it IS UTTERLY MEANINGLESS.

I don’t want to mindlessly consume content.

I want art. I want NEW things!

I want my media to reinvent the wheel, to push the envelope of what’s “allowed,” to spin a new perspective on something that I’ve only ever seen through my own eyes before.

I to analyze. I want to pick apart every detail for intention. I want to connect with the writer, the artist, the creator — grasp that little flicker of understanding of another life.

I don’t understand the appeal of generative AI because I can’t divorce my love of art with my love of humanity.

wrote 800 words tonight.

this chapter is already 5k words and I just started the second section of the chapter 😭

[naomichimarufuji]

I got through the first section of chapter two. Only three more to go. It's already 4k words. For the chapter.

I might need to thrash this a bit. That's too many words given I need to be further in the story by this point. There are 4 more chapters after this!!!!!
