![]() ![]() The first half of the story was incredibly dragged, which made all the weird sentence structuring extremely obvious. You’ll end up with clunky sentences, weird mental voices, accents that flit in and out and disappear without any consistency… In short, what you will end up with is Dread Pirate Arcanist. But it is widely presumed that this is the case, and as a result, authors are now under pressure to release sequels close together – either the very next year, or even in the same year at times.Įven if you have a good story to tell, if you rush the process of writing and editing, you’re going to ruin it. I do not know whether the collective attention span of the reading population really has decreased. ![]() I hate what the contemporary publishing industry has done to good storytelling.

Cover Art for Dread Pirate Arcanist by Shami Stovall ![]() ![]() We see Black Swans in extremistan, single incidents which have huge influences on history.Mediocristan does not care about extremes. However, if the stock market, which belongs to extremistan, goes down by 20%, then the likelihood of another 20% fall the next day isn’t any lower. If you encounter someone 7 ft tall, the likelihood of encountering another 7 ft tall person is low. Standard statistics like Gaussians are valid here. Most outcomes of the biological process like height, weight, age expectations belong to mediocristan. One single observation can disproportionately impact the aggregate. Bill Gates’s net worth is a million times more than that. The average net worth of an American household is ~100,000. Now, consider the wealth you can encounter 99 humans with a net worth of ~100$, and if you meet Bill Gates next, the average will become $1 Billion!!! A single sample can skew the average drastically. Once your sample set is large, no single instance will significantly change the aggregate. A single sample of 8 ft where the average is 6 ft can skew the overall ratio by only 0.08 ft (1 inch). The tallest human is about 8 ft tall the shortest is about 2 ft. ![]() If you are trying to find the average height of humans by sampling 100 humans, then no single sample will have a significant impact.
