Patrons get a preview of a Toledot chapter! I am very sleepy, so I missed an edit. Ah well. https://www.patreon.com/posts/60786463

Today's MFA generative workshop was about subtle ways to introduce surprise/interest into writing. We talked about showing the subject in the world around them. We were shown a gif of a penguin and told to show a world that would contain such a thing.

Patrons! Things got all busy! My apologies. To make up for it, I've scheduled a week of daily episodes of Qoheleth for you to enjoy, starting today! I may not announce them all because I'll still be busy, but trust me, you'll get them.
