It’s the middle of November, and I’m still in search of 15,000 words. I’ve got a good start, but it’s going more slowly than anticipated. Still, with two full weeks to go, there’s ample time to sprint to the finish line.
Focusing on my writing project, whose working title is Nothing Personal, comes at the right time in terms of all the political turmoil going on, the gloomy change in the local weather, and the assault of Christmas marketers when the presidential turkey hasn’t even been pardoned. Writing keeps me from over-thinking what’s going on in the current world.
I haven’t read any of the post-mortems on the recent US election, although I have kept up with the incoming president’s recommendations for various government positions. As I do, the title of my project helps me weed through this cycle.
The thing is with the incoming president it’s all personal, and we – the electorate – will be worse off for it, if not now then soon enough.
