Scientist, gamer, nerd, and aspiring writer (my thesis doesn't count, trust). I'll get more creative with my profile later.
Done! We'll sorta, still have about 10 chapters and 30k words to go, but I'm 50k closer than I was at the start of the month! Glad I did it, but next time I think I'll pace myself more, and aim to take weekends off next time and better utilize my days.

In the home stretch. Passed 45k today, and will hit the 50k mark hopefully before Thanksgiving! The draft currently at about 57k, and will be 90-100k when all said and done. Though, this draft need a lot work to make it readable. I already have a page of changes to make to fix the story.

15 Days into NovNov (November Novel) and I've done about 28k words with about 40k total. It is the very definition of a rushed first draft, but it's getting done about 10 times faster that my first (which is in alpha, beta hopefully in Jan 2026). I think it'll be a lot better after a few edits!

They always said armies are fighting the last war. Now next war people will be planning for trailers containing attack drones near airfields. Guessing a lot of short range air defense proposals in the next few rounds of SBIRs (if they don't cut the funding.)

Proofreader/editor got back to me about my book and the results are I need to do A LOT of editing before it's ready. She was really helpful pointing out all my mistakes and how to fix them. So, it'll be ready in about 5 drafts. She said there's "some potential" in this book which I'll take as a win.

My first book has been sent off to my proofreader/editor! Now comes the customary, "Please be good, please be good!" prayer.
There's always the possibility that it'll need a full rewrite, but I'm just happy to have made it to this stage. Even if it does suck, the next one will be better!

Today reminded of when a Pakistani taxi driver gave me a ride in Melbourne in 2017. We chatted about politics and was ranting about Trump and he just laughed. I asked him what was so funny and he said, "All my life I've had terrible leaders, now it's your turn."
I wish he wasn't right, but he was.
