This is your official ‘I told you so’

Sarah Palin announces she will not run for President. 

All those weak-kneeded sister who quaked and quivered at the though of President Palin can calm the frak down. This woman is in her happy spot of celebrity and money, she’s not budging from it.

It looks to me like there are no more Great Right Hopes left to save the Republican Party from itself. I suspect the base will hold there nose next November and vote for Romney, just like they did for the hated McCain.

Not sure if this is good or bad

Last night I finished my query letter (off to my sweetie for a prrof read) and got the first draft done of a 1 page synopsis. (495 pages boiled down to 1, that was tough.)

During the day I re-read the very first attempt I had made at writing a Seth Jackson story, Assuming Command written about 1992. While I used far too many passive sentences and glossed over too many things that needed their own scenes, the core story and characters still worked out very well.

So I liked, in part what I had written more than 20 years ago. Not sure if this says that the core is strong or that I haven’t grown enough.
