Tweet of the Day, This Sort Of Thing Ends With Directed Bazooka Fire edition.
I’m just making a basic statement about reality, here. Eventually somebody’s going to shoot a missile specifically at the statue of the dog, probably because he’s been dreaming about doing it for years and all the other parts of Ashgabat are in flames anyway. It will simply happen; so I feel that this thus does not quite qualify as a political post, and as such is not over the Line.

11/11/20 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.
A bit of movement today as I announced the new $2000 stretch goal (a digital copy of the upcoming REVISIONARY four-story chapbook) for the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter. Seven days to go! Huzzah!
Day 11, TINSEL RAIN NaNoWriMo: 24228/60000.
This was an unproductive day: I only managed about 800 words. Fortunately, I budgeted for unproductive days, so I am still ahead on wordcount. I am not going to beat myself up over it; instead, I will get some rest.
The BREACH Trailer.
The quote is “it looks to be a mix of The Thing, Alien and Doom. With Bruce Willis.” …All right. I’m listening.
Out, for given values of ‘out,’ next month.
Goodreads Choice Awards 2020 Semifinals!
Alas, FROZEN DREAMS did not advance. Fortunately, I can absolutely and enthusiastically recommend Naomi Novik’s book A DEADLY EDUCATION, which is probably the best fantasy book not written by me that I will read this year. Vote here to help it advance in the Goodreads Choice Awards rankings!
Today is Veteran’s Day.
My thanks to everyone who fought, suffered, and died so that I could grow up in a place of peace and security.

11/10/2020 Update, TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter.
Well, eight days left on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter! Good news is, the last week or so is traditionally when people do last-minute backing. We should see some movement then. And if we don’t, well, not the end of the world. I wouldn’t mind a few more backers to justify using Backerkit, but we’ll see where we are in a week.
Just ordered THE SACRED TEXTS OF THE BABYLON BEE.
Basically, The Babylon Bee is like a site that has political and Christian humor, only it’s funny. I picked up the basic version of THE SACRED TEXTS OF THE BABYLON BEE, but you can a fancy-smancy version for more, too. Click the link below to order.
When it's over—and if your eyes still work—go here to place an order: https://t.co/GMvHhZ6yE2
