A Cunning Plan
So. In case I havent mentioned it before, I'm the Anti-Poe. While occasionally I do write and take inspiration from negative emotions such as despair, as a general rule, I need stability, hope, and having my needs met before I can produce art. Frankly, I had imposter syndrome for a long time because I didnt have the need to spout out words before my basic needs of sanity and survival. But I am an artist, and I am very creative and with help (and a lot of editing help) I am able to do art..and the fact is, I can do what a lot of artists cannot...consistently perform complex projects and finish them (or even start them) on a consistent basis. I'm no Steven King. I'm never going to be; but I am literally in mid flight for my ninth and tenth novel (we officially passed the 50K mark (my wife and I) on Fruitloop and Frankenstein for the Book of Heliotropic Fairy Tales....TEN. That's a lot and three more than my basic life goal of seven. I'm getting better and better at it (again with a lot of editing help)....and its not just a worthy accomplishment, I can double it and be as proud of my writing as I am of my gaming career.
So. Not Nanowrimo is fucking toast, and I consider the worst political or event (if you know what's going on) general disaster of my lifetime to be a good reason to disrupt that. But in life, when you are knocked down, you need to get up, dust yourself off and keep on trucking. So, my plan is (and we'll see if it works), is that I am going to write 500 words a day for 90 days to finish the estimated/outlined path for Armor of Stone. I'll resume writing my other projects including the Queen in Blue and Grenademan vs the Lich slowly, and when done with Armor of Stone start researching and outlining Whispers of Water (which so far in my mind is likely to end up being the coolest of the three.)
Also call out to my friend Bernard Setaro Clark for helping me research a rather cool action sequence for one of my projects in the Queen in Blue. I really look forward to releasing this thing and am about half way done. I'm not publishing anything until that chapbook is done and will take all the time it takes until it is 110% right.

[Poem] lolololololol
By Emmit Other
Be careful what you wish for
Oh brother oh sister Be careful what you elect
This is the real world now
The sims took a left turn that night
To wonder what the world would could have been
If only
If only
And now I laugh
Because I am going to push what you asked for
In just the right places
In just the right ways
In just the right ways
There is no restraint
The cabinet he selects is the Justice League of Earth 3
Crimelords and Dogkillers
Piss drinkers and masturbation failures And you will lap it up
Like the kid with the sociopath dad who catches his kid smoking
And makes him smoke
Forty packs
And keeps going after the kid pukes
And pukes
And pukes
You will say
Thats not what I meant
They spelled it all out
All out for you
And you signed on the dotted line
With a downpayment
Of every soul in America
Including yours
And I will watch your glass house from afar
I warned
I voted
I helped
And now
I will enjoy every second of suffering
You brought yourself
You get no redemption
You get no last minute miracles
The debt for America has been called
Take
Your
Fucking
Medicine
And learn
What so many fought so bravely and so hard
To keep you having to learn the hard way
And you chose the hard way
Twice
You got a miracle
And assumed another was coming
And the heavens
Are closed for business
Clean up the mess
Lap it up boyo
Lap it up like a good nazi dog
That you chose to be

Venting
I have nazi family that spies on me here but as I erase my presence bit by bit from the internet like I did in 2016, I find I need to express my feelings somewhere until Google eventually deplatforms me like everyone else.
I am more depressed than at any time since before I met my wife. It is clinical and epic though it comes and goes. Had to delete that last sentance due to nazis. It is going to be really depressing and expensive to move and nazis are in Europe. Even found out another european friend is likely a nazi. And frankly due to Nazi family, I kay need to go entirely dark here and cease contact with them. It sounds unhinged, but so does nazis in the white house. What I write pissed nazis off and they are rapists; and they network. A lot. After Jan 20 I need to stop posting here. Switzerland is a big enough place that going dark AND moving to the most democratic country on Earth AND getting a firearm in a country that allows them AND a dog AND a security system will likely keep us safe from American nazis, but the wounds the lds church left on my soul do not heal so easily. I wish I didnt have empathy. I wish I didnt feel most pain for the non humans who wont even know why they die of heat death and I feel bad for the little girls who last year had daddy tell them they could grow up to be president and now have the president tell them that they will be rape bait for roving nazi paramitaries; they are outlawing porn and making women cattle; do the math.
Will we ever learn conservatism is the root of all evil? Lying, Nostalgia for the past, and demonization of the other are who they are. Utopia will never happen until conservative ideas are forbidden. They laugh at my pain as they silence my speech and the speech if others and lie while they do it.
Consertism is the devil. He wanted to make us do good in LDS mythology. Thats the conservatives; lying and feigning righteousness.

[Book] Day 4 - Crash and Burn
Yeah finding out that your country has turned into a nazi hellhole and finding out you will need to take advantage of your wife's dual citizenship to get the hell out of dodge can kill your desire to write. I need to take a day or two to figure out what I'm doing or even if trying for this.
