Last week was awful. There was a death on my birthday, and I found out my SNAP benefits went from $290 to $23

It was a bad time

So, if anyone wants to join the Patreon or Kofi, even for a month, I'd be thrilled.

There's microfiction, and updates, and tarot/oracle readings. Maybe other things too.

Good morning from Harlem

#GoodMorningFromHarlem

Looking through an arched window half an hour after sunrise the blue sky is full of spidery grey and white clouds, and there is a yellow haze above the horizon. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones with red brickwork are across the street, and a taller apartment buildifng can be seen in the distance. The green tops of two trees are on the bottom and right. The window is grimy on the bottom.

Fed. judge fines lawyer $5,000 for AI-generated filing that contained fabricated citations. He also has to alert future parties/judges.

"in this instance he used a Microsoft Word plug-in called Ghostwriter Legal to find additional cases to support the motion."

caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-dis...

The Court further has no difficulty finding that Mr. Johnson's misconduct was more than mere recklessness. The Court notes that errors can happen in filings despite attorneys’ (and even judges’) best efforts. Yet the insertion of bogus citations is not a mere typographical error, nor the subject of reasonable debate. It is just wrong. There has been a plethora of general warnings from courts, bar associations, and the legal community at large about the risks of bogus citations generated by AI. Mr. Johnson even acknowledged that he was aware of such issues with other AI programs like ChatGPT. The fact he states he was unaware that a program such as Ghostwriter Legal could make such errors does not negate such a finding. Having been aware of the pitfalls of a failure to check citations supplied by another source, he still parroted citations generated by Ghostwriter Legal without verifying them. Ultimately such conduct reflects a complete and utter disregard for his professional duty of candor and is tantamount to bad faith. Thus, the Court will impose an appropriate sanction under its inherent authority.

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

Mx. D. D. Ward (they/them) @ddwardiswriting.bsky.social · 4d

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Victorian Ward - Black and white illustration of a Victorian wall with a scarab ward framed. The border of the whole piece is a torn paper. Inside is Victorian black and white striped wallpaper with damask type filigree in the black and smaller stripes and speckles in the white with small vertical black stripes on either side. In the damask pattern are slightly abstract symbols of infinity, an hourglass and other resurrection symbols. In the middle is an ornate rectangular frame framing a large scarab beetle with its wings out. On its wings are celestial symbols like Jupiter, stars and the moon. Around the scarab are peony flowers and branches of a tree branching towards the top left with a vine white line swooping in an out and around the frame in the same direction. The scarabs body is engraved like metal with filigree. Behind the scarab in the frame is grain shading grey over black.

Dark Vibrations - Inktober 2022 black and white ink illustration. Plain rolling hills lead to the door of a building with a large central spire and a small covered porch. To the left side of the building is a three facet bay windows and the other windows have ornate stained glass. On top of the central spire is a lighting conductor in the shape of a 5 point star. In the highest window of the spire is stain glass in the shape of an eye. Converging at the start is a large vortex spiraling and expanding through the whole sky. The vortex is pulling party’s of the building up towards it and cracking parts of the wood and foundation. The vortex is casting light and highlights on the building and the tress behind it. Converging towards the building is a circle of 12 white bird silhouettes.
