Canada, being bad-ass
Oh, many darlings were sacrificed. I will erect a memorial plaque in their honor.
Was just going through some saved screenshots on my hd and found this gem! Thank you for the kind words, D Franklin!

Back to the WIP after the 12,000 word excision yesterday. I feel like it was the right choice. Onward!
Still takes a tech person like me to implement, and it's not available on shared hosting (ie no nginx/apache config access)
800 days on DuoLingo for Yiddish. Pretty soon I'll be able to say hello.
"Reading" or stealing?

It's the thing no one is talking about, how AI bots are flooding the internet with traffic and harming sites without a corporate IT team (or a sysadmin developer like me) and making *us* (the website owners) foot the bill. Just one more example of the harm these AI companies are doing to the world.
Thanks! Yeah, I've cut large sections before. I think I just needed to get it out on the page first in order to see it wasn't pulling its weight. Still, there are some darlings in there. 😣
This morning I realized I have to excise a 12,000 word section of the WIP because it’s not doing a damn thing for the story. Six weeks or more of work. Oh well, back to it.
