iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

And you know where things go from there. It’s not off the table based on recent developments.

The scene in the pizza parlor may not be too far away, at the rate things are going.

Let’s hope I was wrong about what happens next.

I never would have believed, when I was writing my book back in January through March, that by October some of the things I imagined would be unfolding in real life.

That’s the dilemma, isn’t it? You’d rather avoid the provocation, spare the danger of the label — but there comes a point when silence itself becomes a form of cowardice, and the refusal to name a fascist is its own kind of surrender.

In a perfect world, one would never have to call anyone a fascist. In a perfect world, of course, there would be no fascists to name.

If only Miller had the guts to state his intentions plainly instead of smuggling them beneath a thin veil of suggestion.

Look, people lose their minds when you use the F-word. But this is just one more piece of evidence in the growing pile — him basically saying, “l’État, c’est moi.”

It amazes me how easily the public has come to accept masked government stormtroopers acting as political enforcers in American cities.

Looking forward to hearing back from you! Queried you a few months back. You’re the one everyone sent me to.

The Democrats’ political problem is they actually care about the Americans the GOP is trying to hurt. Politically, they’d be better off just letting Republicans suffer the consequences of their own votes.

The GOP can frame it as ‘Democrats just want to give healthcare to undocumented immigrants.’ But when a red-state couple making $85k gets hit with a $25k annual bill for coverage, no talking point is going to save them from the backlash.

Resistance group blowing things up—check. High-stakes chase scene —check. Action with a dose of humor—check. Government crackdown in a rural town—check. A worn-down hero struggling to save his 17-year-old family member—check.

I need to amend my book query and include One Battle After Another as a comp.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

Tonight it’s One Battle After Another.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

Chapter 3 of my new novel - The Patriot Audit. Currently pitching it.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Thank you, Dennis. From you - that means a lot.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

Here is a sample chapter from my new book -The Patriot Audit. Finally finished editing and about to start pitching it.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

Thanks for the encouraging words, Leanne. I’ve just about got my query package ready. That part has been harder for me than writing the actual book. And I’ve heard the odds are long with agents. So I’m going into it with a good understanding of what I’m up against.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

I’ve got nine different POVs and four or five interwoven plotlines. It’s not some simple A-meets-B, they do a thing, and then C shows up to stir the pot. Ok. I’m done venting now.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

I had no idea how any of this worked before I wrote the book. I thought you just sat down, spent a year or so writing, and then reached out to publishers to see if they were interested. Turns out—that ain’t how this thing works. Lol!

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

A huge thank you—truly. Every note you gave me made an impact, and I acted on all of them. One of the biggest rewrites in the book came directly from your analysis, and it made the story so much stronger.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Don’t you worry about that, Joe. I’m in no hurry. You’ve already been really really helpful!

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Please let me know when you open back up. I just finished a 91k dystopian thriller that, I believe, is pretty timely given the moment we are in.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

That is the key. A good story. I am still editing my book. Haven't started querying yet but I have looked into the process and it appeared daunting. lol!

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

It all comes down to the whims of the king.

I sat down and wrote a book. I had to just pay attention to that. I am terrible at doing 2 things at once. I am editing it now. Ive missed all of you too.

Every 6 months for me now. That’s the plan and I think regular checks are the way to go with this stuff.

220

I am too. It looked like a regular mole to me.

PSA: Always listen to your better 1/2. She saw something on my head that didn’t look right (and I get the joke that could go here). I probably wouldn’t have went on my own yet. But I did it for her & went & got it checked. Surface level melanoma. They just took it off.

The trouble with the woke is that they elevate identity over competence. The trouble with the anti-woke is that they do precisely the same—only substituting ideology for identity. In both cases, merit is the casualty.

Text to speech - using AI. It essentially makes your text an audio book. I am better at spotting issues by ear versus by eye.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Make that the last month. Hadn’t realized I’ve been offline a month.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

What a shitshow the last few weeks have been.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Hey Dennis. Appreciate you checking on me. I broke down and wrote a book. Finished the first draft and all my spare time has been editing and refining it. I’ll be back before too much longer.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Hey Tim. Hope you are doing good. It took me two years to write it. I guess the recent authoritarian backdrop provided the right incentive to get it over the line.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Sounds like a good idea. Very timely and relevant.

020

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Finally finished it. 93,000 words.

Jeff Kemp @jeffkemp.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

I will do something with it. I gotta polish off first. But a rough draft is done. It feels like a first marathon.

The thing is - when there is a knife sticking in your side and you’re bleeding out - you can only call it a briar for so long.
