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.

Drawing of a shape that resembles looking down into the eye of a whirling hurricane but only in a very abstract way. The overall drawing is tan colored with pops of purple, pink, and gold swirling shapes.

Today is my 15 year anniversary. I didn't do my #5amWritersClub check-in because I know it's not going to be a productive day. 😂

#5amWritersClub Seriously, how long do I take editing that one chapter? Final tally 21.74% shorter despite new stuff.

I started working on the next chapter, so I think it's really done.

The intro is spectacular. Had to throw on headphones for the full experience.

Dio has fronted so many bands. Is it just the familiarity of Dio singing, or does this feel so foundational to the heavy metal that would follow? I mostly have Dio's solo music.

A tangle on the way to a mangle.
Ripping. Pulling. Tearing.
The loud talkers are grass that's too high.
The mowers are coming.
What's left is carnage of the correct height.

The out of control weeds on my front lawn have all died in a cold dried up messy heap... somehow it's less messy...

#5amWritersClub putting finishing touches on the scene I've been editing.

The key was adding hints that connect multiple plot points in the scene to the main subtext of being separated.

#5amWritersClub added the revisions, and the chapter I've been revising for a week is still 15.67% shorter. One more editing pass should do it.

Early 2025, 125,000 of you pre-ordered "Vivian Amberville - The Book of Chaos" on paperback or hardback.

For 250 of you, I've hidden a secret message visible only under UV light + a unique code.🔍

E-mail me that code to get a FREE BOOK!💙📚

You guys have no idea how LONG I've waited to reveal this!😅

After editing, I'll add some new stuff to address reader feedback.

Another good run song from the 80s:
I Ran by Flock of Seagulls.

They put out a new album in 1995 and I got to see them around 2000 promoting it at an intimate 200ish capacity bar. I was the only one who seemed to know their new stuff. 😜

#5amWritersClub The chapter I was editing yesterday, I shrank just as much today. So it's 29.10% shorter now. The previous version might be better, but pacing is paramount.

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?

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