Will's Good Idea for the Week of 5/10/26

Good morning, Stroock's Books reader(s) and Happy Mother's Day. Mrs. Stroock doesn't care much about Mother's Day, she's far too practical, and is more interested in her 76rs tonight than Mother's Day. Mrs. Stroock's been without her mother for 24 years. Ours has been gone for eight years now [Well that's a hell of a downer. Is today Thursday or something?-Ed]. 

We awake tired and groggy. Also, we're sore from three days in a row at the gym.

[You're just a good time this morning, aren't you?-Ed].

We are...we are. 

A report in the WSJ claims the Israelis established a secret base in the Iraqi desert to support airstrikes in Iran. Cool. The Israelis totally imitated Israel Strikes. Otherwise Israel Strikes has been totally overtaken by events. Baah! Still a good novel, though. 

Let's get right to it...Will's Good Idea for the Week of 5/10/26.

We've been watching some videos and reading some articles on book sales, rankings etc. We're really not learning much and a lot of these tips and ideas seem dubious. 

We have not committed to writing World War 1990: Battle of the GIUK Gap. 

To restate something we stated a few months ago...we've got two half finished World War 1990 novels. We know for sure we're doing Esercito Italiano, Saddam's War, and Election '92. We'd kind of like to get things wrapped up by 2028. Right? 

DOGE report.

We spent a good chunk of yesterday cleaning up a couple of Managua chapters. We'll spend today cleaning up the Contra prep chapter.
