We are primed to have a great week with The New American Order. We'll finish a scene where Al Haig ambitiously listens to the president's inauguration address, and another where Rumsfeld listens with disappointment. We have one town where they need to open up housing to refugees and another scene where they run out squatters. We'll have a foreign leader listening as well. Maybe the guy who runs Pakistan, to set up all the Indo-Pak trouble. We'll see
The New American Order will be 20,000 words at the end of the week and the first chapter will be completed. We're hoping for a 25,000 word at the end of the month, and 50,000 words by 1 June.
In The New American Order the largest metro areas are Chatanooga, Evansville/Owensboro/Henderson on the Ohio, Bethlehem/Allentown/Eastern in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Fun fact, the governor of Pennsylvania is running the state out of Happy Valley. Sorry, SEC fans. Casper, Gillette and North Platte, Nebraska are the new centers of the Mountain West.
Monday Metal or not. Two clips from Dave Grohl of Nirvana and the Foo Fighters talking about music. Here's the first about American Idol, fuck yeah. Here's the second on young musicians and the modern music industry. Fuck yeah again. 'I don't want to sing like someone else I want to sing like me,' Grohl says. Quite right. Grohl is one of the last real rockstars and doing an admirable job of keeping that spirit alive.
I'm probably segueing that into writing about writing this week.
