#writersCoffeeClub 6 Apr 'convergence'

Everything across the 6 novels converges to a single point, the overthrow of the bad guys!

Each novel is a stand alone in its own right, converges on a significant milestone.

I’m writing for teenagers, and feel they need to see predictability and reward, among all the tension building and release.

Even the reformed bad guy, gets happy contented grandchildren.

This week: Sam Altman says AI belongs on classified Pentagon networks and should be treated like the Manhattan Project.

Toot 1 (Lead): New: "The Manx Care Record - A Million Pound Bet on Governance"

It's a governance story, not a technology story.

"The Manx Care Record

Norway and the UK both found North Sea oil in the late 1960s.
Norway created a sovereign fund. It is now worth £1.6 trillion -- roughly £270,000 per citizen.
The UK spent the receipts. There is no fund. There never was.
Meanwhile, diesel hit 185p a litre in Castletown on Sunday.
