I don't care what anybody says. I am not hyphenating navy blue just because it comes before "suit." ๐Ÿ™„

How hard is it to say โ€œinvading an American city with the US military is treason and the second we have power we will prosecute anyone who gave or obeyed an illegal orderโ€

I got 75% of the way through the first novel in a series and then started the second novel because that's what my brain kept insisting I think about. I know how the first one ends, so it can wait.

People in power need to control others in order to maintain power. One of the ways to do that is to take that which is threatening and demonize it. ~Jasmine Guy

"Becoming a writer is not a 'career decision' like becoming a doctor or a policeman. You don't choose it so much as get chosen, and once you accept the fact that you're not fit for anything else, you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days." ~ Paul Auster

Feeling this hard lately. I have the wonderful problem of too many ideas coming too fast to write them all down, but somehow also right on time.

Some things I have researched today:
-how long is an aircraft carrier
-how long is a naval space cruiser
-how many people are on an aircraft carrier
-how many people are in Marine basic training at one time
-if a spaceship is 1 kilometer long, how long would a running track around it be

If you journey into the depths of the WSJ offices, you can hear them crying in unison like that scene in Midsommar.

โ€œThere was a silly damn bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been the first cousin to Man. But every time he burnt himself up he sprang out of the ashes, he got himself born all over again. And it looks like we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we're got on damn thing the phoenix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, someday we'll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and jumping in the middle of them. We pick up a few more people that remember every generation.โ€

I was researching quotes on phoenixes and came across this. SUPER poignant for today.

My current WIP. Every time I sit down, I have an absolute blast. Same with the one before it. I've never experienced that before. It's just been so fun!

Set in Stone is on pre-order, queer and adult characters, who are as morally grey as they come! Epic romantic fantasy

When they left, she saw that there was a small gift shop beside the salon.
โ€œDo we have time to go in here?โ€
โ€œWe have about thirty minutes.โ€
Most of the storeโ€™s offerings were items like coffee mugs, tumblers, bags, and keychains with โ€œTeodoro Esteban Lรณpez Calderรณn Naval Baseโ€ and the Admiraltyโ€™s logo 

Clip from my novel CYBERNETIC. Work in progress.

Are there even keychains in the 26th century?
