Let me finish today with some light-hearted thoughts. Really, it amounts to a distraction for the post-election detox period. As a political junkie I have been following this election for most of the last eighteen to twenty-four months that it has been going on. So what on earth am I going to do with myself on November 5? Well, November happens to be National Novel Writing Month, during which time crazy would-be authors knock out 50,000 word novels at blinding speeds, leaving editing and finely tuned everything laying in the road behind them.(there is in the definition the example of just such a sentence.) All a person has to do is sign up for free at www.nanowrimo.org then at midnight on Nov. 1 begin writing. My young protege and I are in. It would be really cool to have some of my friends along for the ride. Any takers? At the very least it should take my mind off the results of this election or the ongoing court fight that is very likely to follow. I think it is very possible that we will not know until much later who has won. And while I wait I will be feverishly writing.
