PSA: Exercise Your Right to Vote
No book chat right now, I’m sorry. It’s election day here in the United States, and so much hangs in the balance this year. So I just wanted to take a moment to encourage everyone who has the right to vote to go do so. Yes, the lines are long. Yes, some states will be dishing out all sorts of chaos at the polls. Brave it out. Stand up for your rights. Make your feelings known.
Go vote.
Then you can go home to write.
Happy Election Day.
Friday Links
Happy Friday, everyone! I’m personally having a difficult time wrapping my brain around the fact that it’s November. Of course, if you’re participating in NaNoWriMo, you’re well aware of the fact and — I hope — off and writing like a fiend to get your word count up.
As always, I come bearing some fun links for you all. I hope they make for a nice break, or maybe provide a bit of inspiration for your weekend. Enjoy, and happy writing!
