Anyone fellow Americans unable to write due to anxiety of the election? I'm not trying to get political, I just want to see if I'm the only one.

No, you're not alone. Things are crazy right now and emotions are running high. I could hardly think straight yesterday but forced myself anyway and came 400 words shy of my daily word count goal.

I'm not even American, but it's affected me as well. I'm clinging to this at the moment - and I'm throwing the quote about a lot as well:

I'm just tired of people being jerks to one another for having a different opinion. It's exhausting. So I locked myself out of Facebook temporarily. Let's hope that helps. *rolls eyes*

Canadian here, feeling sick to my stomach over this whole thing. I've already had an American friend ask me if I have room on my couch for them to crash.

...and as a bit of perspective: I just heard of a lifeguard friend of mine who had to spend the night in hospital after aspirating sea water while rescuing two people from an overturned boat. Everyone's okay, both the friend and the victims he saved, but it's still a bit of a contrast against everything else.

You all stay safe out there now you hear.

I know that many people are emotional over the election. I appreciate that we keep any discussion here tame, and a little vague, in respect for our policy against politics. So far as politics is concerned, Mythic Scribes should be a place you come to visit because you don't want to think about what happened this week. So far the discussion is okay, but let's not spoil that.

Because this topic is so polarizing, I believe that the forum rules apply and should be followed. If members want to discuss current political events, it should be done via PM or private chat.

Politics and Religion

Contemporary political discussion inevitably leads to mistrust and division. Asking questions about politics as it directly relates to writing is fine, as is discussing historical political developments for the purpose of research. But all contemporary politics, including hot-button issues, are unwelcome distractions that must be avoided.

One of our cats has a sadistic desire to drive me batshit when I sweep the floors. She likes to run through the piles of dirt, frolicking throughout the house like a bunny rabbit. It might be cute if having to sweep over what I just did again wasn't so annoying...

What beauties! Ages ago, I had a Russian Blue named Seafort. Unfortunately, he only lived a year due to a condition in his urethra common in male cats, which is why I've had only females since then. I do love Siameses, so have had more of those. Now we have a Siamese "Maya" and a Calico "Autumn The Slayer" because she's a ruthless killer.
