P.G. Sundling @pgsundling.bsky.social · Nov 13
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.
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.

Something red and balloon-like makes me think of the classic song "99 Red Balloons."

The song might have renewed relevance considering the way the world is going. Which is the better version, English or German?

#5amWritersClub Posting early since I've been in an unpredictable sleep pattern, and I want to hit running before I do socials.

Edited a chapter to 14.25% shorter, but going to do another pass. Guess we'll know tomorrow if I can do better.

Got distilled water so I can try my CPAP machine. Better sleep might help me write faster. Crossing my fingers.

#5amWritersClub a tiny chapter 19.40% shorter and sliced a bit off another scene.

My bedroom is still under siege. 91 distractions today.

In my daily termite battle, I was losing with 7 evades when I woke up, but after a 21 kill streak I'm ahead for the day, 21-7.

I didn't even stop editing my book. Squich. Edit. Squish. Edit.

My chair got one kill. The wheels of death. 🙄💪

And 3 more. 🙄🙄🙄🙄

#5amWritersClub I didn't quite finish editing the chapter I'm working on. That'll be tomorrow. This group motivates me to keep on making progress, slow as it is.

After many attempts, I got a contract scene smooth and funny. I added visual cues to make things clearer.

The chapter is 9.22% shorter. That was a tough nut.

A small chapter is now 18.25% smaller, which makes up for yesterday.

Editing another chapter. Several times, I edited sections to make them shorter, but they ended up worse, so I reverted them.

Writers who sneak off to get some writing done are just like superheroes. Some have secret identities.

We also save the world - in stories. 💪🙌

Although we endanger the world in the first place. 🙄😜

My office has a secret room where my deepest thinking and best naps occur. Sadly, my children know it exists and I’m easily found, but it’s still the cozy place where most of my writing is done.

#5amWritersClub Computer is back up and work done on rewriting a scene.

Redesigned my room. I can now see and squish a termite in seconds with minimal interruption to writing.

Overwatch Engaged. 💪

My daughter put cat ears on me and then did a photo shoot using the filters feature on my photo.

#5amWritersClub didnt get much done yesterday. Hard to write when things crawl on you. A termite swarm upended my day. 😩

Hoping today will be better. We'll see how it goes when the termites wake up.

Spent my day squishing hundreds of termites, moving furniture, and cleaning.

Looking to fill a hole. One nail stopped it last time, but haven't found where they are coming from yet. If it's under a baseboard not sure how to stop it.

Nirvana (1997), a cyberpunk movie. "You mustn't let them intimidate you with all their user manuals. Think beyond."

The term user manuals isn't used much anymore, but I love the sentiment.

My daughter has been speaking in cat sounds a lot lately. So, of course, I made cat sounds back.

Best moment for today: We purred at each other.
