The Supreme Court put out some major rulings over the last week. Some of them were major victories for the Republic. Some of them were major losses for the Republic. Some will make defending the Republic easier. Some may make it impossible to defend the Republic. Time will tell.
I sent my Rebirth story in, and then realized I’d missed something, so I fixed it and sent it a second time. One of the things I’ve been incorporating into the story is the Pretender Shells that were used in the original series. In my use, they are designed to make SMALL robots look like humanoid species of the appropriate scale. In this case, Klozians. Fans of the TV series have probably never heard of them. They first showed up in the comics, and have been shown a bit in other venues but not much. Very much a “blink and you’ll miss it” species. The key is that in the first major fight scene, I forgot to have them fight as Pretender shells. Independently of the rest of the Transformer. Why fight the enemy with one body when you can fight them with two? So I did my quick restyling of the battle to make it far more interesting. And allowed me to increase the body count for maximum destruction. It was fun, let me tell you, and greatly improved the story in my humble opinion.
We’ve made it two hundred fifty years so far here in America. Two hundred fifty years since we some brave souls risked their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to build something better here. Centuries before that when they were just looking for a better place to live. Centuries after of building that better world. We’ve built something grand here. Something amazing. Something I hope we can hold onto.
I finished the 5th part of my Rebirth Transformers fan story today. Each part is between 4k and 5k long, do that is around 20 to 25k words so far. This is the prelude. Where the big enemy is revealed and confronted in small form. There is much more to the story coming, but this escalating reveal is fun. It will be released on Teletran fan magazine soon.
I grew up on Cold Cereal and Milk like a lot of American kids. Part of the starting meal of the day to get us up and out to school. I’ve drifted away from it over the years for a number of reasons. One being that I don’t stock milk much anymore. It spoils faster than I drink it. But I keep cold cereal on hand because I like it for small snacks. Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams generally. Sometimes get something different, but I have settled on those as standard. My job has a small general store, and sometimes the groceries hit end of best sell by date life and the employees get to take the stuff home. A lot of bread products. Sometimes other things. Last time it was milk. So today I had cold cereal with milk for the first time in a while. Just a simple breakfast that reminded me of times long gone. It is good to visit the old things you used to do to see if you still like them.
