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.

Hey, man, it's quitting time. Let's go to Lake Quit Man Marina.

Obviously, a place for high achievers to go.

Many books have, with their different lessons.
Story by Robert McKee go from + to - or vice versus, each scene much change or there's no reason for a scene.
So many writing books had their different things.
Picked up some tricks from Divergent series too.

They're fishing for the right customers. That's not a sign meant for city folk. 😜

grammar checkers disagree on the commas too. The worse is add comma and it tells you to remove the comma and to add the comma...

Hit the knee with the reflex hammer, and the lower leg comes after you.

The ankle jerks always catch me flat-footed.

Do you already have a design for how you want it to look? She does great work, although I already had an exacting vision for the cover. So I don't know how she is if you don't already know what you want.

I used a Fivver artist for my covers. One was a flake (wasn't charged) and the other was masterful. Also used got a formatter and someone for bookmarks. It's a marketplace, so pay attention to reviews and samples.

#5amWritersClub last chapter, my edit goal was 10% smaller, and I reduced the chapter by 15.18%.

Doing a rewrite on another chapter, adding another layer of intrigue to a McGuffin.

Good luck with your launch.

P.G. Sundling @pgsundling.bsky.social · 23h

Sounds good. It's a very original book, that's for sure.

The subplot related to the bar in book 3 gets pretty crazy. 😜

It'll be years before I get there, though.

Great background music for book editing.

After reading it, I bought The Oatmeal's Terrible Therapist card game, which looks hilarious.

P.G. Sundling @pgsundling.bsky.social · 1d

The best I can do is send you a copy of the book. Although the bar does have a character arc of its own.

Life makes sense in someone's timeline. Probably not mine.

Yes. Marketing, the eternal torment.

At least books you can finish, unless you're a crazy person and write a 2nd edition like me. 🙄😜

I have a steampunk-themed bar in my first book, and people love or hate it. 😀

I wish I didn't relate AND have examples from this week. 🙄🤷

I hate the gap between what you know rationally and how it feels.

Lovely painting and poetry. Great imagery.
