Thanks! I wasn’t sure anyone was even reading them until the end, but apparently people liked them. Now I wish I’d had a bit more time to read more of the posts to seek out ones I liked, especially in this last one when I was busy and only read a handful.
And thanks about The Confession. I think most of the fiction I write doesn’t fit here on LessWrong so I mostly just write it and then nobody sees it. I’m trying to get better at having protagonists that are actually trying to do something, rather than just ending up in a situation. In general I’d like to have a better understanding of what story is, so later maybe I can bring some storytelling ability back into my nonfiction writing.
Thank you for writing these digests! I felt a tiny sense of pride when one of my posts got mentioned.
EDIT: Just read the confession. Good pacing, nice twist, clear prose. Pretty good/10.
