Do I even want to this year?

Two days until the official start of NaNoWriMo and I'm still undecided if I want to give it a go this year. On the one hand, I have a couple of stories that I'd like to finish. On the other, this year has been such a shit-tastic year that I feel no desire to write anything. I keep finding myself vacillating between "Yeah, let's do this!" and "Noooo, kill meeeeeee."

And NaNoWriMon is still down. Will they even be able to get it up in time? I don't know. Is it worth plugging through NaNo without my NaNoWriMon? I did complete NaNo last year, but it wasn't nearly as fun (and also my 'Mon failed to evolve for some reason).

So...yeah, those are just some of the jumbled thoughts in my mind right now as I try to keep my mind off of the U.S. elections, since the chances of another 4 years of Trump is not zero.

BTW, I hope y'all are voting...

LOL, just got this from a friend

Graphic designer turns 1-star reviews of National Parks into promotional posters

Some gems include:

If you like walking on an almost endless beach this is the place to be. — Pacific Rim National Park

Don't waste your time unless you're really into hot springs. — Hot Springs National Park

Phone signal is impossible. — Biscayne National Park

Black bears roaming aboud. — Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve

Basically a desert with some dead trees. — Petrified Forest National Park

Trees + coasts are basically it. — Redwoods National Park

Too many birds. — Channel Islands National Park

It's just a big mountain of sand. — Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve

Didn't even get to touch lava. — Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park

Literally miles of white sand. — White Sands National Park

Too cold for me. — Glacier National Park

Honestly, at this point, I'm beginning to question if people understand why national parks and preserves exist... Are people just scared of nature? Does nature intimidate them or something? q(≧▽≦q)
