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.
