The outline is my safety net. It's there so I feel free to explore the tangents and alternatives that crop up while writing and that never would've occurred to me at the planning stages. If it turns out the alternative isn't as good as I hoped, that's fine, cut it and go back to the outline.

To varying degrees. Personally, I always know where the story will end and the outline mapping out how events/decisions will lead characters from the start to that end. But just as the map is not the terrain, the outline is not the story. All kinds of unexpected things will crop up when you write.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

But if you mean in a single day, probably 1.2k or so. As long as I hit about 200 I'm happy, anything more is a bonus.

Homelessness is a choice; everyone can always find themselves a friendly billionaire who will give them a house, trips on a superyacht, and vacations to a private resort. Just ask Clarence Thomas.

They would rather make it a crime to sleep than give money to the unhoused so they can help themselves. Just an amazing display of monstrous cruelty.

There should be, like, a form of imaginative storytelling that explores the pitfalls and implications of new technologies so we might learn something about ourselves or maybe see the obvious and harrowing consequences of really fucking stupid ideas before executing them. But I’m just spitballing.
