As a fiction writer I am aware that the market is against me, more so than it is against non-fiction writers. . . so why not break into the non-fiction market to add credibility to my name, thus giving my fiction efforts a better chance for publication?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This non-fiction effort will basically be an organization of the posts from my two political blogs, with commentary to assist the reader along the journey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit this page often as the evolution on my Non-Fiction Political Pistachio takes shape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Note: January 9, 2006 - My computer crashed a couple days ago and all pages of this work was lost.  It is now on the back-burner.  I learned a valuable lesson about backing up my files.  After &lt;a href="http://www.dvgibbsdeception.blogspot.com"&gt;The Way of Deception&lt;/a&gt; is complete, I will probably return to this project.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38367606-116689043271365427?l=dvgibbsnonficpistachio.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/38367606/posts/default/116689043271365427'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/38367606/posts/default/116689043271365427'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dvgibbsnonficpistachio.blogspot.com/2006/12/progress-of-non-fiction-effort.html' title='Progress of a Non-Fiction Effort'/><author><name>Douglas V.
