Damn, this is going to be a boring post. My fault for starting a blog after dinner. It’s too late too come up with something interesting.

I’m too old for this. I retired last June. I finished the first draft of my last novel last October. It is off to the editor now. I planned to start a blog then, but my friend wanted me to edit his latest screenplay. I finished that ten minutes ago. I’d like to say that’s why I decided to blog tonight, but no.

I decided to start a blog back in March when ex-President Trump announced his 2024 run. I wanted to write about it. The title would have been, “A Run for President Should Not be a Run from Justice.” Perhaps the time has past for that post. All the same, it would be weird if one of the first things a newly elected POTUS does is pardon himself from a jail cell. We live in historic times.

To the introduction part. I am an amateur author. I write under the pseudonym Karl Fandkin, NMRN, and I’d like to preserve some of my anonymity. No great reveals in this introduction. I confess to being a retiree, an Angelino and an unpublished author.

Now that I’m no longer grabbing at literature’s brass ring of publishing novels, I’d like to write my opinions, observations (facts) and stories I may come up with (fiction). I’ll try to label each appropriately.

In the future, I plan to get some assistance from AI. I hear RITR is good. Everything posted, however, will be reviewed and fact checked by me. No blaming AI. I will, of course, blame my pseudonym. That’s part of what they are there for.

This is my first, and, hopefully, most boring post. I am trying to see how things work here at WordPress. I do apologize if you read all the way here.
