Email from my editor, wanting to talk titles. Is "no" an appropriate response? 😂 How much do I hate coming up with titles? I'd rather write a formal outline. Personally, I think my working title is just fine. Haven's Rock 4. Done.

AI is constantly offering to "help" with my writing--can I finish that sentence for you? rewrite that for you? summarize that paragraph for you? No, no, also no. But when I put an extra l in syphilis, spell-check is all "I know that's wrong but I have no idea what word you actually want" Sigh...

Seems wrong to be worrying about myself when the world is falling apart, but I have what cancer patients would call “scanxiety”. CT a couple of days ago. Wondering if the bronchiectasis is worse, and if so what does that mean. If not, what is wrong. Either way, what is ahead-tests, treatment?
