Here's one tip I don't always follow: Dillard: "Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now." What about you? #WritingTips #Writing

Or Koontz's version: open the day by polishing yesterday's last page. Low-stakes entry. You're inside the manuscript before you notice.

What do you think of this tip? Never end a session at the end of a scene. Stop mid-sentence, while it's going well. You'll come back faster tomorrow and you'll never face a blank page. Betsy Lerner learned it from the playwright Charles Ludlam, who always stopped mid-scene.

Like this one: "Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." — E. L. Doctorow, as quoted in Bird by Bird Beautiful.

One thing I will do on this page is sharing from the thousands of notes from writing books I just went through to make this tool, these notes is the heart of the engine. It's so much easier to internalize the theory when you see it side by side with something you have written.

www.projectbenter.com is another thing, I am collecting courage to take up streaming. I am already sharing output from my models over at X. And as I will need to take my time with paper testing and learning the ropes I thought why not share and have fun with it, for the remainder of the year.

I have spent the summer on my other big interest in life, writing, and since I have become a proper crafty f*cker, I built www.karlove.com While I don't want AI to come near any of the texts I actually care about, I have trained a tool to give me valuable tips in how to improve. Testers needed!

I'm kinda excited about this new feature I just added to the form, turn your handicapping into fair odds estimates. This is what it's all about, identify the prices worth backing and who you must reject. Of course I made it shareable, what is this game if not the discussions of ideas and opinions!

Tomorrows racecard for Sha Tin is out, still free as we're still building towards the big launch in UK. Not perfect yet but it's getting there now. Some new cool trainer stats too. And please check out the new "tour guide" that will teach you how to read this form!! www.mrworldpool.com/sample

While I do prefer the "fuck around and find out"-approach to learning new things myself, I can't expect that from everyone. So I just spent the night creating this interactive "tour guide" explaining the data in our formguide, plus a presentation for mobile, check it out! www.mrworldpool.com/sample

No, Field of Gold isn't overrated. And claiming so is hurting the sport.

Form is published at mrworldpool.com for Happy Valley 🇭🇰 tomorrow, in addition to a couple of scandinavian racecards. For free once again as I'm still testing and need to retrain my ML-model before I feel comfortable charging for anything yet, any feedback is much appreciated.

Homage to the Losing Punter.

The HK Speed King recently argued that syndicates win because they understand markets, not racing — and that retail handicappers chasing better ratings are playing a losing game. He is right. But his ...
