Continue reading →: The Cassandra MovementTwo of my favorite professional skills are scope control and phased implementation planning. Last night I applied that to my draft novel _Boudica and The Butcher_. I planned to integrate how ideas caused the civil war through flashbacks involving a younger Gideon and Antigone/Boudica’s parents. Last night I came up…

Continue reading →: The Ideas that Caused the WarMajor breakthrough today in my _Boudica and the Butcher_ draft!! An underdeveloped important theme was that the war was caused by ideas in a country that had turned to irrationality. For example Cyrus tells Gideon that they are to blame for the war because as college professors they had failed…

Continue reading →: Broken TrustHere is a good story premise from a post on X: “How do I ask my wife, who cheated on me five years ago, for a divorce? “She’s deeply remorseful. She took responsibility and did everything she could to make things right. “I stayed because I genuinely wanted to give…

Continue reading →: Fiduciary DutySometimes different threads from experience come together into a new story idea. In this case, a recent offer for me to be a partner in a sweat equity startup, a news story about a fund manager going through a divorce and his ex is trying to bleed $6B from the…

Continue reading →: Modern LeviathanI turned my earlier observation on the correlation between politics, education, and psychology related into increasing rates of female anxiety and depression into a new story idea called “Modern Leviathan.” This emergent Leviathan isn’t a conspiracy but the consequence of bad philosophical premises acted on by millions that alters society…

Continue reading →: Coincidental Correlations?Forming unpopular hypothesis: Democrats made women in aggregate increasingly crazy to keep them single and voting Democratic. I am just looking at population level patterns in how Democratic policies related to education and psychology funded a patronage machine that functions to reinforce their political coalition. Unlike traditional patronage machines, it…

Continue reading →: Research: Brine, Waste or Resource?Prompt: Does brine absorb heat better than water? Copilot: Brine, which is water with high concentrations of dissolved salts, has slightly different thermal properties compared to pure water. Here are some key points to consider: Overall, while brine may absorb heat slightly more efficiently due to its lower specific heat…

Continue reading →: Research: Big Oil vs SeawaterPrompt: Seems like a solution that would diversify petrochemicals companies by applying similar knowledge advantages related to chemistry. Copilot: That’s an insightful observation! Petrochemical companies, with their extensive experience in chemistry and industrial processes, could indeed leverage their expertise to diversify into desalination and byproduct recovery. By applying similar principles…

Prompt: Should desalinization be viewed like cracking raw petroleum? A process by which water and other industrial useful materials are created? Copilot: That’s an interesting perspective! Desalination can indeed be thought of as a process similar to cracking raw petroleum in the sense that it provides valuable products—fresh water and…

Continue reading →: Research: Desalination and GypsumPrompt: With industrial desalinization, can the salts be forms into equivalents of the natural phenomenon like by creating gypsum? Copilot: Yes, industrial desalination processes can indeed produce useful byproducts, including gypsum. Researchers have developed methods to convert the concentrated brine waste from desalination plants into valuable chemicals. For example, sodium…
Hello,
I’m Jaycee
Currently, I am a drafter and plodding editor of my own fiction stories. Looking towards the future when edited stories turn into published ones.
Here I am starting to bare my soul to give you a preview of what I have been working on.
See “Harvest of Blood” in this site’s menu bar for a preview of a draft chapter from Boudica and The Butcher, a novel set in a future Second American Civil War.
