Omachuck: Blog

Chapter 3 is queued and scheduled for posting in the morning.

Chastity gets her day in court, and Virgil acquires a wife and another daughter. We learn some of the advice the Army brat consultants gave Chastity.

Thanks for your questions and feedback.

Chapter 2 is in the queue for tomorrow morning.

We watch Chastity and Virgil begin a relationship. We find out that Lawyer Sam is a good guy. Chastity refuses to sleep alone and has no body shyness.

Questions:

1) Virgil Caen is a take off of the name of the 'narrator' in the song The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down sung by The Band and Joan Baez among others. His middle name came from the name of the train. No agenda, just been playing with that for a while.

2) A Herc is a Hercules C-130 and the 'Herky Hilton' is slang for hanging a hammock in the aft, often near the ramp and frequently blocking access to the toilet. The bunk(s) in the cockpit are considered uncomfortable by many and are often filled with gear or just plain junk.

Much thanks for the feedback, questions, and the voting.

As soon as I finish this Blog entry, I'll upload the first chapter of The Daughters of COVID-20. Almost a month ago I told you it was coming, but...

There are nine chapters and an epilogue, all done, mostly longer than my normal. I'll upload a chapter every other day, probably in the morning.

First and foremost I, and you who read this story, need to thank my editor-proofreaders: 1) They kept me from drifting too political in either direction. 2) They had great ideas that made the story much better (If you don't like it, the fault is all mine) and 3) My fingers just don't work right and they found a heck of a lot of typos for me to fix.

So take a bow - Zen Master, Reluctant Sir, PCBondsman, Bohica, Steve, Kenn Gannon, Brooke, Rev, and Lou.

The timelines parallel real events, but they have been modified somewhat for the sake of the story. On the other hand, if you see a typo that we missed, please let me know so I can fix it.

Oh yeah, If you have not read Crumbly writer's virus pandemic story Love and Family During the Great Death you owe yourself. It is one of my favorites.

Let me know what you think.

I read VE's blog post and it sure describes what can happen. I mean, my characters tell me what's going on, and it frequently isn't what I thought.


The Daughters of Covid-20, has been sent to several of my editors and proofreaders. I started out with the typical pandemic and survivors yada yada yada. What we got is a new, mutated virus that just happens to be identified and isolated at ground zero.

It is caught because it is very deadly to men. It just makes women very horny. One man survives. Why? How? Did I mention there is some speculation that it might prolong life? Indefinitely? This is pretty much the opposite of my story Siobhan where most of humanity is wiped out.

Coming to a post sometimes soon. Unless of course, the characters wake up and whisper more in my ear.

I'm about half way into writing a story set in today's Covid-19 world:

We know from reading about annual flu shots that a virus will mutate. What will happen when COVID-19 mutates and makes women horny instead of sick. What if the same mutation has a 99 percent fatality rate for sexually active men? One man tries to answer those questions.

It won't be an apocalypse type story, but it is about the next mutation of coronavirus. I'd be further along, but reality keeps catching up and passing the fiction.

One of the Swarm contingent is reading along in Dropbox as I write and has offered a lot of good suggestions and feedback. More important, the interest is enough to stay engaged during a lot of wash, rinse, dry and repeat.

The big question - should I call it 'Son of Covid'?
