Things are zipping along with the scene summary I’m writing for my novel and hopefully by April 1st, I can finally begin writing the first draft seriously.

I find myself daydreaming about who I would want to produce the movie version of the novel and one name stands out: Jennifer Lawrence.

But whatever.

I have to actually write the damn thing first.

You Can Either Get Drunk All The Time Now, Or Run Like Hell

So, I’m writing a novel.

Now that Trump’s probably never leaving office, I feel like I have been pushed into the second act of personal quest for fire.

Because of a unique set of circumstances, I have a window of opportunity to throw my entire mind at writing a 200,000 word work of pop art about life in the Trump Era done in the guise of a thriller set in a small Southern community.

It may suck, but at least you can’t say I didn’t try.

And given the track record of writers, I’ll probably die of consumption even if I do manage to sell the thing to a publishing house. Or I’ll have to self publish.

Or something.

Something sucky.

But my entire creative life is officially consumed by this project. I’m giving myself a deadline of Jan. 1st, 2020 to finish a SECOND draft.

Wish me luck.
