Definitely an outliner, but I go back and forth between outlining and writing the actual scenes so that I can flesh out my outline using feedback from the practice of writing and make actual scene progress at the same time.

Today I learned I am ChatGPT.

Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

You could be right about that, I don't know too much about Pelagius myself. I did see a video recently with Leighton Flowers where he had a scholar on who argued that Pelagianism as often construed by Augustine was a myth.

I guess the meaning of that could change depending on what we mean by perfection. It is related to original sin, though: without original sin and with free will, one could conceivably live a sinless human life.

always a good day to buy your next read from an independent bookstore or borrow it from the library

I'd agree with Pelagius here, but isn't the central problem of Pelagianism the claim that humans can achieve human perfection by their own free will?

I read some Agatha Christie novels for the first time this year. I was looking for something I knew would surprise me, and I haven't read any mystery books before besides part of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." I've been really missing out.

It's true that it's the more dominant theory, but in my reading I've found it's more often assumed rather than justified. Maudlin makes this point as well.

I wouldn't advise it as a primary method of writing, but when a desk isn't available I've been able to increase my productivity using a writing app on my phone. They feel like bonus words.

Especially under the pandeist variant. God changing and limiting Himself in order to create the world only makes sense if He loves the world.

For example, the kalam I think ends up committing the atheist to B-theory, whereas the logical problem of evil is problematic for certain notions of God more than others.

I agree that they are by no means definitive, but I do think they point us in the right directions, or at least reveal something about our entailments and commitments.
