I'm not going to do anything today except watch the polls, probably, and then I'm going to spend the entire afternoon trying to get access to the highly secretive (and usually massively unreliable) exit polling data. Come on, Montana! Come on, Virginia! Come on, Missouri! Show your true colors! (Note: Your true colors are blue.) You can do this! It's been 10 years since I enjoyed an election night. Hopefully that will change.

As for National Finish A Draft Of Your Book I Mean Seriously Come On Month (NAFADOYBIMSCOM): I wrote 2,700 words yesterday. I'm writing a lot, and I'm enjoying writing a lot, but it's very hard to tell whether I am getting closer to the end of the book. This, it occurs to me belatedly, is the problem with NAFADOYBIMSCOM. There is no word-count cutoff. I'd better reign myself in, or I'm going to be looking at a Harry Potter 4 type of phenomenon. And no one wants that.
