What I thought about during my meeting

I confess to having had a lapse and pondered the introduction of character, whether signified by font or colour or style or day. But that presupposed an author, so I thought about that instead. It occurs to me that the system that provides the most compelling incentive is one which provides rewards inconsistently: thus the most compelling author is one who is inconsistently, irregularly trustworthy. But, in fact, the apparatus of this medium instills a certain authorial trust right away. You like these labels, don't you? The 'unlabelled' label is the Charybdis of self-absorption; it's a step away from the 'self-reflexive' label, the 'label' label, and so on.
