Wrote 16 pages in a new novel that I've been thinking about but not able to write this past week as campaigns and other things hijacked my life. It was lovely. I got into one of those nice trance-like states where I could go on for hours. I put off the library lit. to write and it felt sooo good to capture what has been roaming around in my imagination.
Don't get me wrong, I also love doing graphic design, designing lit. It is just the crazy candidates I can't stand. If I could stay in a glass box and never have to deal with the MPs and IKs of the campaign world, I'd be in heaven. But I can't and I need to realize the good usually outweighs the bad and just try to let it roll off my back. But writing is my first love (sorry Mr. Ipsissimus) and a good day spent at the laptop is worth noting.

I'm so glad you said to hell with it and sat down to write. Sometimes when it feels like our lives have been hijacked, we forget that all we need to do is take back control and do what WE want to do.
After a rough night with a restless dog, fighting whatever crud is trying to take up residence in my sinuses, wondering if my budding professional relationship with the mailing house is now trashed, feeling SO tired, I am thinking that depending on what favcan decides, this may be my last campaign.
Ouch, I do understand campaign fatigue! Brian is still shaking his head and snickering over MP panicing and having to add two word to her lit.
I thought of a GOTV slogan for the library: "Help keep your Library afloat; get out November 6th and VOTE!" I was certain the Library guy would hate it and we'd be back to the drawing board. He liked the whole postcard, no changes - go figure. And he'd been one of the difficult ones before. He seems to get mellower as the campaign goes on, while others get scattered and still more get panicked and frantic. It is truly wearying! Hang in there, just a couple more weeks of nonsense and then you're free!
