if I may add: I put all my bullshit in brackets. whenever I'm stumped, or need to fact-check something, or the syntax is fucked, or I need to rewrite a passage. anything funky goes in brackets so when I'm ready to revise, I can easily search the doc for them and find all the bullshit.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

Holy shit, Red Fam! 139 pages later and the first draft of the next chapter of "Red" is finally done!

If all goes well with the edits, I'll be releasing it this Friday. Wish me luck!

In the meantime, if you haven't read the latest chapter, you might wanna do that. 😉

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Digital illustration of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian from the novel Tian Guan Ci Fu making out in front of a round red lattice window. Xie Lian's back is to the viewer, with his hand cradling Hua Cheng's head. Hua Cheng is backlit by the window, with his hands are around Xie Lian, one on his neck and the other on his butt. There is a cropped out desk with calligraphy set up in the foreground, with wisps of incense smoke in the air.

#hualian #tgcf #天官赐福
Digital illustration of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from the novel Tian Guan Ci Fu. They are kissing over a dark background. Hua Cheng has his hands resting on Xie Lian's neck, and Xie Lian is leaning up with his hand on Hua Cheng's chest. There is transparent smoke trailing around them, and silver butterflies. Behind their heads is a glowing soft light illuminating the darkness.

No new chapter of "Red" this week, but a kind commenter reminded me that I had the next chapter of my spooky Hualian Fic, "Ominous Star," sitting in my drafts.

So, here's a little Halloween treat! Enjoy it with some candy! 🍬

A Quick Note!

A question came in after Echo and I recorded the interview, so unfortunately this one didnt make it into the audio, but I still wanted to take a moment to answer it here:

#tgcf #hualian #danmei #fanfic #podfic
Image text: What's Your Question? * i LOVE this fanfic, i think about it all the time hehe, i wanted to know if xie lian is going to be involved in this whole mafia world. like, is he going to have a moment where he has to fight? Use a gun maybe? Alsoo, how much are we into their story, like how much more do you have planed for red? Thank you for writing this fanfic, you are a very talented writer! Background image is fan art of Xie Lian and Hua Cheng from TGCF in my Mafia AU fanfic "Red." Text: Thanks so much for your question, Anonymous! I can say that the second part of your question regarding how much of the story is planned will be found in the audio interview, so be sure to take a listen! As for your first few questions—I would love to tell you, but I cant because SPOILERS! I will say that Xie Lian is most definitely not helpless, so . . . take that how you will. 😉 Thank you again for your question, Anonymous! And I hope that you continue to enjoy the story as much as I enjoy writing it! Take care! ❤️❤️❤️

Echo's narration for this chapter is *chef's kiss* 👌👌👌

If you haven't had a chance to listen to the podfic yet, now's a good time to start! Plus, you get the added bonus of Echo and I geeking out at the end! Win-win! ❤️❤️❤️
