Indecision Abounds

We've completed reading The Great Nuclear War of 1975. The next time we read it, the MS will be in proof form. 

Not ten minutes after we finished we had an idea for a scene where remnants of the US Pacific fleet are gathering in Subic Bay. This helps set the stage for events in The Great Salvation of 1976. Not a bad idea, Damn it. This is why we wait and take our time. 

We've talked to our editor and we'll be sending the MS along this Sunday Night. That gives us a week to tidy up things and ad whatever last minute things we're going to add. 

We'll probably lay the groundwork for the Barents Sea strike scenes today and this week in The Final Storm. We're writing without joy. This is a rough novel with a long slog ahead. 

There seems to be a lot of support among friends and readership for the next project being World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap. 

This blog admits to massively overthinking things.

We'd like to write something different.

[You have, Knobhead. Your nuke novels. By the way, I love the way you're playing up the Brit angle-Ed]

True. As Mr. Trump said during the first season of The Apprentice, take risks. The Great Nuclear War of 1975 is certainly a risk. It's a bit of sci-fi dystopia, so's its sequel. While it is true we are very good at what we do, we just don't know how these novels will sell. Once again, as the great Neil Gaiman has said, 'You know what people want after they like the thing of yours that they read? Another thing just like it.' As each WW1990 novel has sold better than the last, might it not be a good idea to write another?

Inshallah, we shall all eat lamb in paradise.

NJ.com reports on our probable future congressman's net worth: 'Tom Kean Jr., who is seeking the Republican nomination to take on Rep. Tom Malinowski for a second time, would be the second richest member of the state’s congressional delegation if he is elected to Congress next fall. Kean’s federal financial disclosure report showed assets of at least $6.5 million, which would put him behind only Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-5th Dist., who had $8.8 million. Like members of Congress, candidates must disclose their finances annually.' Rick Mehta, who lives somewhere around here, is also running for the GOP nomination. We'll vote for him. There's nothing wrong with Kean, but the man had his chance. Heck, we made phone calls for him last time around:

The New York Post tells us:  'KENOSHA, WI — Protesters upset over the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse marched in Kenosha on Sunday — in the presence of a Second Amendment-supporting father-daughter duo armed with AR-15s they said were to protect the demonstrators. "We just do security for different groups. We’re doing a favor for them,” Erick Jordan, 50, told The Post while walking alongside his 16-year-old daughter Jade. ' Everything about this story is heartwarming and A-OKAY. The 2nd Amendment and open carry is for everyone, and people need as much armed protection as they think they need. We bet that daddy-daughter duo really knows how to lay down fire. 

So last night a man drove an SUV through a Christmas parade in Waukesha Wisconsin. As of this writing 5 are dead and dozens injured. We're not commenting on the incident, you know why? Because we know fuck-all about it, that's why. We don't even know how to pronounce Waukesha. So we're not gonna speculate. Where not going to write things like, 'if true'. We're not going to make comparisons to Kyle Rittenhouse. We're going to stick with what we know. A man drove and SUV through a Christmas Parade in Waukesha last night. If only the poo-flinging monkeys in the media could do the same. Who, what, where, when, why. Try it some time you degenerate communists. Oh, and if the driver of the SUV turns out to be a mentally-ill child rapist, try not to take his side. 

Monday Metal. When in doubt, The Answer:
