The Beginning

Tis the beginning of November!

Several things happen this month:

NaNoWriMo and its accompanying frenzy. I am participating HERE, although the site's down and I can't access it. There are just too many writer's trying to get on, I guess. But that's better than just a few, lonely participants. :)

Voting on November 2nd. Unfortunately, it's all "this candidate did this!" and "that candidate did that!" and blame, and guilt by association, and attack ads, and "I'm mad as hell" (seriously, I visited one site and the person running actually appeared on the screen and said it. Right. Uh-huh. Integrity, please!). There are few to nil "I am going to do this when you elect me" or "I am pledging my support for that" which is extremely dismaying--and all these newcomers don't have a record you can follow.

The Thanksgiving holiday. I'm not the hugest fan of Thanksgiving, although I do enjoy the purpose of the holiday. We really should be giving thanks--much more often than we do. Plus, there are the family get-togethers for a lot of people.

Did I mention frantic writing on the side of NaNoWriMo? Yes? Oh.


I will try to keep up my blogging, and I will post book reviews sometime--I haven't done one in a week, and I've got several sitting in my Draft pile. There's just too much to post about 'round here! I didn't have that problem before, but it's a good one to have at any rate. ;)

I wasn't very present on the blogosphere today, either; I'll be getting to you peeps tomorrow.

Finally, I'm also going to say: "Have a great month!" before I forget it, and really, I hope you do.
