I haven’t been good about updating my progress on my JoNoWriMo goals. For the record, I am writing.
However, not all writing has been fiction.
Last week I joined other volunteers at Democrats Work in sending out postcards to new voters, urging them to get out and vote. My hand cramped up and my shoulders got tight, and I quit at 33. Today, though, I wrote 55 postcards!
A couple weeks ago I felt guilty for not canvassing but now I’m happy I can be part of the effort without my blood pressure skyrocketing. Plus, the competitive me enjoys the fact I can get through a list of 30 names faster than the other volunteers.
It’s the little stuff that keeps me going.

Write on, Tracy!!!

I’m writing more right now. Zebu just asked if it wouldn’t be easier to run off a bunch of notes on the printer and then hand-address the envelopes. I explained the power of personalization but he seemed dubious. He hasn’t yet experienced the onslaught of impersonal election-time mail.

Thank you, Lorraine. I’m just so glad I found a way to help that didn’t make me feel even more anxious. Plus, the stamps are really pretty (tropical fruit). I’ve gotta go finish this next list of people…

Thanks, Carolyn. I know I owe you an email but it’s been crazy. So sorry about Harper (again). Sigh. I think we might pull one off and help mitigate some of the damage.

I think you guys are really going to do it too! And millions of us up here will be celebrating with you! I can’t wait. It will be such an incredible, amazing thing to turn that corner.

I hear you on the millions celebrating with us and I’m thrilled about that but also ashamed that the US has earned such a horrible reputation around the world in the past eight years. Our crap has spilled across the borders and around the planet. Sigh.
Here’s to turning that ship around!
