As a novelist, my response to the election has been to write a short novel in which God and Saint Nicholas drop in to fix the unfixable psyche of Don John Trump right after the swearing-in ceremony, January 20th.
And they succeed! (It is, alas and alack, a fantasy.)
But success comes only after great struggle. Hes one sick, broken son of a bitch, after all.
I ask you to read it, yes. But also to spread the word about this books existence. It would soothe my humanity immensely if it went viral, real fast.
As for Trump, ridicule him, diminish him. Id say delegitimize him, but he isright down to his shallow little depthsillegitimate. And he always will be.

Kindle to begin with at 99 cents. In a few weeks, I'll have added a paperback edition as well.

(1,856 posts)Uh-oh! God the Fathers done wigged out. Santas just reported that the entire tone and texture of Earth has darkened, in the USA especially, on his Christmas rounds this year.
It seems a would-be tyrant is gearing up to tyrannize. Americas democratic republic teeters on its last legs, this mockery of a man having rent its fabric, perhaps irreparably, in the weeks since his highly suspect election.
Checks and balances? Out the window. Sexists, racists, anti-Semites, science deniers, homophobes, fake Christians, and bigots of every stripe feel emboldened to publicly trot out the cockroach natures theyve hitherto hidden.
When the sanity God and Saint Nick wait for refuses to materialize, its up to them to visit this godforsaken fucker moments after his super-weird inauguration and, in the infinite space afforded them by magic time, repair his wounded psyche.
Although its a psyche as warped and mangled as any God Almighty has ever seen, he has a plan. He has several plans. But one by one, they fall through.
Holy Hannah! Will God and Saint Nick succeed in threading their way through this perverse morass of Trumpian motherfuckery? Or are they . . . well, you know . . . DOOMED TO FAIL?
Hold onto your hats, boys and girls. Youre in for a wild ride!

(4,483 posts)Making fun of him is the surest, best, most entertaining way to bring him down. Nothing hurts a pompous jackass more than to suspect people are laughing at him behind his back--unless maybe it's people laughing in his face.

(1,856 posts)Right now, focused on getting the paperback out.
I'm planning to do all of my fiction through ACX, starting this calendar year.
Me as the narrator if I can get the quality up to their standards.
