I like it. Some thoughts on retirement with a bit if intrigue promising a show down over the Nuke plant. Having just retired in January, Doggett's retirement philosophy reminded me of my very first Substack post, https://corkhutson.substack.com/p/retirement-is-not-a-dead-end.
Thanks for pointing me to your post - it’s very much part of the pleasure for me exploring my characters inner emotional landscapes. Commercial fiction these days tends to be very plot driven and linguistically functional. Of course my new editor has pointed out all these boo boos and foibles to me which I am well aware of. Still as I am actually selling and hope to keep going on that trajectory I can’t ignore her or that trend in general. My first sop to it was saying ‘Okay I’m a crime writer not an avant grade artiste’ (as I see myself).
Dogette would've been a great character for a Billy Joel song like Piano Man. He'd fit in pretty well with the other patrons / barflies..... He could've talked with Davy, who's still in the Navy & probably will be for life..... 😉🥂
He might've been having a bad day. I criticized an author who had been dead for roughly 2 - 3 years on another forum & the author Mercedes Lackey verbally handed me my derriere ! 'Tis NOT my 1st rodeo.

Great ideas for forthcoming podcast...🎹
I thought that I'd change my tune a bit. I usually put in a nerd reference until a writer here expressed complete, utter disdain for said reference.
Ah - can’t people be mean?!
