Saturday Updates

In January we submitted 31 Days to Taipei to REDACTED and got sick of waiting for them to publish so we decided, 'Fuck you, Jobu. We do it ourselves.' We should write more of those, right? Ideas...Ideas?

Can someone tell we how long we've actually been writing The Final Storm? We're not talking about original TFS. Most of that is published. Bits and pieces show up in Polish Storm, Three Seas, etc. No, we mean this monster that begins in Georgia* and ends with the SAS taking flamethrowers to REDACTED. It's at least two years, right? Click this link if you want to be amused.

We spent all week working on World War 1990: The Final Storm. 

For the first time in a long, long time we feel like TFS is on track. We're writing an entirely new chapter showing the aftermath of the SAS raid on REDACTED and another chapter showing people when the Emergency Broadcast System (and whatever you people in the UK call it) goes active. 

There's more Thatcher.

There's more Murphy and the IRA. 

We also grabbed scenes that we had exiled to the TFS Discarded Text document and put them back in the MS. 

We finally figured out how to work the B-2s into the plot.

We're probably adding an Indian television crew in Moscow. Why not? One of our Indian neighbors actually lived in Moscow in the late 80's. Of course this means a set up scene, a middle scene, and then the final scenes where the crew is running around Moscow and saying things like, 'By Ganesh's trunk, REDACTED is on fire.'

We got a good feeling about this.
