Variations on Alexander Dumas' THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK. Seems apropos since we are all behind masks at present, and probably will be for a few more years, due to Covid 2020, 2021, and Covid 20?

And there were those outbreaks in the plague years, for instance, 1603 in London. Shakespeare ever wrote or placed his work in the plague years, and yet it was all around him. He rarely mentioned the plagues in his works. Covid-19 is our plague, and I can hardly wait for the deluge of the good, the bad, and the ugly social-distancing romance masterpieces wherein the guy kinda gets the girl. LOL.

If you search for literary works and popular films in the plague years, you'll read about many playwrights who were stuck at home writing furiously to fill the lonely hours between marathon binges of Netflicks, Zoon, Instagram, and gorging on HomeFresh meals, lol.

THE VVONDERFULL YEARE, 1603, is beautiful prose to fill your reading time. The beauty of life between the plagues and quarantines is what we may all experience in the coming years. Smallpox, measles, and dozens maybe hundreds of unknown antigens (peptide, protein, whole-cell, small molecule, etc.).  These antigens over the centuries have ravaged and murdered millions but also strengthened our immune systems to make it what it is today.

Need some great reading, try reading an excellent textbook about the immune system or cell biology. WOW, it will blow your mind when you start seeing the complexities of evolution at that level. I have MMN, so I know the immune system like the back of your hand, lol. Call it research for your next novel. The medical thriller genre and covid-19 will be the next big write in every genre.

8. The Next Big Writer
This is an international forum where writers can receive feedback on their writing and support on every other part of the creative process from drafting to publishing and marketing. The critiques are often thorough and many come from published authors. Keep in mind that there is a monthly cost associated with the membership, but it might be worth it to be able to bend the ear of published authors.

Perfect for: writers seeking in-depth critiques from an international audience.

Last night's episode was like a pot of porridge, gooey mush over-cooked and over-stirred, the characters plopping out of the mush onto the floor of death and destruction. And way too many unsullied raisins and prunes trying to poke their way to virility. But anywho, to resolve all the story lines would take another ten seasons. I don't think the creators realized they had a hit on their hands and went whoop-de-do when it caught on, never thinking they'd eventually have to resolve to the one owner of the iron throne (never knowing that it was actually a very cold iron toilet like the one in my home in Gig Harbor in winter).

I was really hoping for a complete plot turn around with the dragons torching everyone, everything (including Blondie) and taking the iron throne for themselves. They understood Dythracki, English and Swedish so why not? And then they could breed with Cerci to produce more zombie mutants like Geoffrey.

And, what the hell was Arya's white horse doing at the end? I was waiting for song, dance and pony show, a' la Mr. Ed with witty ironic invective. I think it just wandered into the scene from a previous episode and none of the script editors realized it. Next thing they'll bring Hodor back as a wind-walking ventriloquist with a talking Jon Snow puppet on his broken knees... the puppet would without a doubt be a better actor than the real Jon Snow character, talk about mush!

Sneaky Pete also fizzled out... so it goes. I'm in a wheelchair now so TV is 30% of my life.

But, GOT had many more highs than lows. Now HBO needs to follow up with a great drama written by one of the genius here at tNBW.
