Started a novel with the title ROT-Cee. The title reflects the way cadets referred to the ROTC program. The novel begins at the University of Santa Clara with a Prolog that takes place in 1949. All of the action in the novel takes place in 1953 (right up to the armistice signing in July).

Finished the first draft of The Short Happy Life of Thomas Higgins 2. There's still a lot of writing/editing to take care of before the book is ready for publication. This is where the drudgery comes in, but it's all part of the writing process. I'll take a few days off before starting in with the necessary run to the finish.

 The farts and strawberries heard at the DNC gloss over the socialist program that Harris will bring to the White House (if she ever gets there in her own right). The origin of her ideology began with her father who is an avowed Marxist. If you want to see the onward march of the socialist agenda read "The Big Intel" by J. Michael Waller. Waller shows in minute detail how the Trotsky stint in the U.S. led to the establishment of a host of cadres ready, willing and able to carry out the socialist agenda. With Harris at the head of government socialism would become the norm (if it hasn't already) and that would mean confiscation of property (not just guns), leveling out of the possession of wealth (which would hit the middle class the hardest), and a general malaise in the country that would mean unhappiness for all, except the elites who would revel in the suppression of most of us. The lesser of two evils is former President Trump. I hope you see that with all his flaws he is the only one that can set the ship of state headed in the right direction.

Finished the first edit of The Short Happy Life of Thomas Higgins. A few changes, but nothing substantial. Designed and built a cover for the story. Showed it to a couple of friends--they liked it. Another skim edit and final prep before sending it on to be published.

On this lucky number day (especially for dice) I've finished the first draft of The Short, Happy Life of Thomas Higgins. It became a larger book than I had anticipated when I invented the title, but I think the sweep of the story justifies the title. Now it's on to the usual pre-publication activities.
