This is post 4895.
We didn't get as much done as we wanted this week with The New American Order. Though we did make some progress. The brain keeps wanting to write vignettes, when the plan was to write a longer short story based around each year from 1977 through 1981(with a vignette on either end). We've already got a couple of vignettes dealing with housing issues, those empty and those occupied by squatters. An interesting problem.
We know there will be a chapter dealing with warlords and independent whack jobs. We've already written the intro to that. For that matter the chapter seems to work written with a standard technothriller format. Meeting with Admiral Chambers, scene showing helicopter troops training, military assets moving into place...etc etc. Just go with it. What works, works.
We know there will be a dedicated foreign chapter, but we're still not sure what the subject will be. The Israelis? The South Africans?* We have an Australian scene with lots of Commonwealth talk. We like
We finished reading through World War 1990: The Weser. Honestly that last readthrough felt like self-abuse. We have done to The Weser all the things we can do to The Weser. We have handed the MS over to people. These are the beta-readers.
*The dedicated foreign part in The Great Salvation of 1976 is Greater Ulan Ude.
