I just get tired and sometimes wind up typing a lot of gibberish as I fade out of full awareness but still keep typing...

I guess the term has changed a lot since the Schoolhouse Rock days - though I think they spelled it with a Y ("Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, get your adverbs here...")

Are you familiar with the old Speed Racer cartoon? That might be a good template for something like this. There is also a cultivation novel my wife was listening to called "God Among Men" that seems to get into this a bit.

That awareness (though he did question their sanity) was the only reason my dad made it through that book (was 30 years ago so I don't remember which one). The only reason I did not tear apart Portrait of a Lady in class were that two of the women in the class (of less tjam 2- stidemts_...

Well, unless its somehow required reading for a class or something. Still remember being amused by dad's reaction to being forced to read Danielle Steele for a class when he was getting his Masters of Library Science degree... He hated that book almost as much as I hated Portrait of the Lady...

Does it work with Edge or just Chrome and Firefox?

But if it is frustratingly bad, or just painful to read it may actually fail to be entertainment...

Oh, forgot about one of the most important books I read, at least in my formative years, my introduction to both the late Robert Heinlein and Science Fiction (before that I was just fantasy and kid detective stuff, including my favorite series, The Three Investigators, though it lost something...

you mean that is not already a hit song? Probably a duet with Taylor Swift?

If I remember what I read at the time, he started writing "Eragon" at twelve, finished his first book at 14, had a teacher submit it to an agent friend on his behalf and he had it sold at 15, while he was about 1/4 of the way into his second book. By the time it started selling internationally...

My wife was listening to one that seemed to USUALLY handle this well (a few times it did not work so well) - the MC was in his favorite game, one that he had played through several times. Sometimes he was not sure which path he took before, sometimes events happened out of expected sequence...

IIRC that means you started two years before the author did!

So, ah, Land of the Lost fanfics?

That's a real pantry wetter...

Maybe it's time for someone to start writing: Isekai'ed by the Iron Chef, I Became an Invincible Love Muffin

There was a cartoon in the 90s, I think it was "Eek! The Cat" that had a character who ran around in a panic, grabbing people and, in a terrified voice, ask them that very question, in a couple of episodes... "Do you know ... the muffin man? Do you? DO YOU?"

For positive influence, would have to be "Strunk & White's Elements of Style" - among other things, it taught the "minimize passive voice - there are times when you cannot completely avoid it, but when you can, you should" and a bunch of other rules (that I probably break frequently but ...

But that leads to the sequel: "I Was Reborn as a Bun in the Oven"

Well that's a half-baked idea. You simping for the Pillsbury Dough Boy?

I looked this up when it showed up on two different TV shows in the space of two months and found out it is real and at least as weird as the furniture thing: people who pretend to be horses and jockeys - to the point of wearing costumes, using tools, and switching roles occasionally...
