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.

#5amWritersClub I was low energy today. Luckily, I had a tiny chapter I could edit to keep momentum. 6.23% shorter.

It's shocking to hear that college students can't watch a full movie because...

BRB have to check social media. 😏

Old movies like Stalker(1979) move at a different pace. Speed plugins are one thing that helps me.

I use an improvised desk made of metal cabinets and a wood plank. I write from a second folding table for proper ergonomics, and expand with a third folding table during tax time, or for laundry.

Utilitarian, yet adaptable.

Today I write from a lonely place, with dark walls and a door closed tight. I sit on a chair that barely holds my weight at a card table barely standing, writing about sad things. I am not sad, but my work is. The room will shift again soon enough. Just wait.

#5amWritersClub made more improvements to the fight scene (almost 8% smaller and tight).

After I layer in more POV reactions, it'll probably end up the original size. 🙄

Another reason to keep writing:

You turned nothing into something.

In a culture focused on consuming, creating is a powerful act of rebellion.

‪ #5amWritersClub rewrites today were a definite improvement, but I'll have to add setup in the previous scene.

“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” ― Toni Morrison

The collective unconscious is not monogamous. 😏

My corollary: "Write your book, or someone else will."

#5amWritersClub drinking cappuccino I bought in Hong Long with packaging in English and Indonesian.

Swiveled from book editing all night to morning person again.

Fighting my extreme night owl Chrono type.

A great little film that works as a metaphor for the different parts of our life that disappear into the past. The waters of time always overcome us eventually.

Taken literally, it's Waterworld: Sentimental Edition. Resilence and nostalgia in the face of evironmental woes.

#5amWritersClub I went to the movies in book t-shirts with my bestie/alpha reader. There was a bring your own bucket for #popcornDay at Cinemark.

A toast to those in our lives who read all our drafts! 🥂

P.G. Sundling is wearing a beany. He and a friend are both wearing "The Internet President: None of the Above" book covers. We're both wearing jeans and a 5 gallon blue Lowe's bucket filled with buttered popcorn. Cinemark had a special on 1/18 and 1/19 for bring your own bucket which has to be clean and either less than 400 oz (3.25 gallons) or a blue 5 gallon bucket from Lowe's and fill it for $5.
