Forget fifteen hundred words a day, I'm having problems with just fifteen …
It's November 1^st and that can only mean one thing: National Novel Writing
Month [1]. But unlike last year where several people I know (and even some I
don't) attempted their hand at a novel, this year I haven't seen much mention
of it—perhaps the global financial meltdown happening at the same time as the
2008 Presidential Election from Hell That Just Will Not End has distracted
people (or at least, the ones I follow on the Internet) from it this year.
In other news, October [2] wasn't a very good month for me (as you may have
guessed), and frankly, the less said about the events of the past 31 days the
better. Things didn't go as badly as they could have [3], but still, it was a
rough month, and I'm finding it hard to get back into the habit of writing
here.
Oh, and just my luck—things only go downhill from here [4].
Sigh.
