Nanowrimo

This is Preptober, the month before Nanowrimo. I'll explain.

Nanowrimo means National Novel Writing Month, and would be writer's like myself are supposed to write 1500 words each day. We're supposed to have a 45,000 word rough draft by the end of the month. Preptober is the month when we get ready by outlining it, and I don't have anything planned. I might "pants" it, which means writing by the seat of your pants. I always do this when I write a short story, but I've never written anything as long as a novel.

Antifa

"In Italy, the fascists divide themselves into two camps: the fascists and the antifascists." Ennio Faianno said that. To that I would add that here in America there is only one camp.

There are actually some Nazis, but they don't have any credibility in any media outlets. Antifa does. During the Berkeley protests against Milo Yanopolis the police were ordered to stand back and let the protesters get away with everything. They were attacking people from behind and committing real, very serious injuries.

Where were the actual Nazis? No one that got attacked was one.
