I'm participating in National Novel Writing Month this year. The goal is to write 50,000 words in one month. Since I don't use LJ for anything else, I think I'm going to post about my word count on here and maybe put up excerpts. Hopefully that will keep me motivated.
Right now I'm in a coffee shop trying to get some work done, but it's not working out very well. It is not a good sign to have writer's block on Day 1. Maybe part of the reason that I'm having trouble writing is because I'm so distracted by the group of people at the table next to me. They are some sort of weird third party group who are planning a protest against the Federal Reserve. There was also talk about the Amero.
Some other choice quotes:
"I wrote a song inspired by Ron Paul. It's called 'Freedom.'"
"I should have brought Leslie in. She's in my trunk."
"We could burn our stimulus checks in front of the IRS."
"Everybody thinks I'm a closet John McCain supporter!"
"Those people are totally obsessed with Barack Obama." (After talking about how everyone should only vote third party candidates ever.)
One of the guys just gave me a flyer that says the following:
End the Fed
The FED is a PRIVATE bank controlled by unelected officials.
The FED charges the US Government a fee to print OUR money.
That fee is then paid by YOUR Federal Income Tax!
There is NO LAW stating the (sic) you HAVE to pay a Federal Income Tax.
Good luck with not paying your income tax, weirdos.
