Will's Good Idea for the Week of 8/1/21

August already. Man time moves fast when you're middle aged. We think it's one of the reasons summer gets us down now. Also we're all by ourselves and after a while it becomes terrifying. The dog days indeed.

Good morning wine moms from Nightingale Russia. We see you stopped by Substack:

Judging by some of the posts you non-Vikings have been reading, we think we get the gist of your coming line of attack. Okay, we admit it. Will says mean things and has a few controversial beliefs. Yes, we think Apartheid era South Africa was misunderstood and was the least-worst country in sub-Saharan Africa. We still don't know if NYT reporter Ali Watkins is a slut or a whore.  Sorry, sweetheart, we weren't giving up the poontang to a middle aged loser for access, and you were. Yes, we're Super Straight. Vice's Nicole Clark is still too stupid to be Asian. Oh, by the way. If you really think we have all these QAnon contacts, then you probably think Vladimir Putin is issuing us orders from his Arctic fortress. And we recently opened a Twitter account, purely for venting purposes.

[You're just getting mean and having fun at other's expense-Ed]

Why yes, yes we are.

In New Jersey hospitalizations are declining and the infection rate is dropping. First slowly then all at once? A vaccine skeptical friend asked our advice. We said, 'Since you asked, get the vax. Also go for a walk every night.' Masks are worse than bad. They're useless. Vaccines are good. 

More work on The Great Nuclear War of 1975 yesterday. Things are looking good. The plan has always been to release '75 and then The Great Salvation of 1976 soon after. We were thinking of releasing '75, The Final Storm, then '76. But no, we think '75 and '76 back to back will work best. They did start out as one novel. Both are 75,000 words.  We will not resume work on The Final Storm until The Weser is completed. First slowly then all at once. 2022 is going to be lit.
