Book cover of The Election Before Doomsday: A Sci-Fi Political Thriller (None of the Above Book 1) by P.G. Sundling 

Cover has a circular opening between two ice caverns. A large vault door is open as two people walk towards the opening towards the Capital Building in the other cavern. A mysterious blue fog glows behind it.

I finished the 2nd edition of my award-winning novel, The Internet President: None of the Above. Let me know if you'd like to read it before publication.

Aliens watch over the election before doomsday. A non-politician changes their name to None of the Above and runs for president.

How to Manage Projects the Simple Way - Pedro Villanueva | Hotmart Whether you're launching a startup, planning a marketing campaign, or organizing a product launch, you're already managing projects, even if no one gave you...

The ability to manage a project from idea to execution, is one of the most valuable capabilities in any business. You don’t need to be a certified PMP or have years of experience to get started. You just need a clear framework, the right mindset, and some practical tools.

So true! On both counts! Plus maybe when we're happy, we don't have the need to process it.

One of the very best things about working in a bookshop is when a customer comes back in to tell you how much they loved the book you recommended to them a week ago and you have fat little bonding moment over how great it was

People say, "Taylor Swift just writes breakup songs," and
A. it's not close to true
B. it would be FINE if it were true! This has been one of the major themes in songwriting and poetry FOREVER.

Perhaps sorrow is easier to articulate than happiness.
Or it could be that when you are giddy with love the only person you want to share that with is the person you are in love with, which has, regrettably, usually a shorter shelf life and definitely a smaller audience.

Author Update Supplemental 🖊️

Reformatted chapter 16, thankfully a 4 page "making you wait for and anticipate the raunchy raunchy," but now the Ritalin has left the building

Chilling out in low light and silence now, but might jump back on Oblivion in a bit

English novelist Graham Greene (1904-91)

"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."
