I can’t help who I am. I’ve always been either “very creative” or just a regular old crank — depending on how much you like me. I just don’t fit anyone’s narrative. For most of a decade, I didn’t do jack crap.
Then the Trump Era happened and suddenly I had something to say.
So, here I am, zooming towards finishing a novel (two novels, one story) that’s supposed to wallow in the tropes of the Trump Era….just as the Trump Era is (hopefully) wrapping up. And, yet, I still think I’m on safe ground for a number of reasons.
- MAGA ain’t going nowhere.
The problems that caused MAGA will linger for years to come and Trump could always pop back up in 20204. - It May Be Cathartic
This novel may be cathartic for “woke Park Slope moms” in New York City who want to reflect on what happened from 2016 to 2021. - It’s “Just a Good Story.”
In real terms, the only reason why why Trump is even involved is the actions of his administration gave me the rage necessary to get to this point. All I have to do now is finish the two novels of the story and try to sell them.
