Instead of working on that Mythulu story, I dusted off an old short story outline from the trunk and decided to run with that instead. It&#8217;s turning out pretty good, perhaps even pro material&#8211;if all of the professional professional short story markets in science fiction didn&#8217;t skew so damned hard to the Left. But even though this one is clearly political, I&#8217;m writing it in such a way that either side can pick it up and run with it. Hopefully. But I&#8217;m not going to take out that creepy slogan that keeps popping up everywhere, &#8220;build back better.&#8221; Because those Davos crowd creeps, with their Great Reset, are truly the enemy. Do you know how much good I could do for the world right now if I had a death note? Which would also make for a great, yet unsaleable story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words written: 2,344 Total words written: 26,730 Stories written: 4 Total words behind: 3,270 My graph on the nanowrimo.org site looks like a wavy shadow following the line where I should be.
