It usually starts about now. Many of my friends post on Facebook and send emails about how I WILL NOT see them until December. Several friends will put countdowns on their Facebook pages which, once November 1st hits, they’ll update frequently and in detail. All of November, I’ll see posts like: “Wrote 1,274 words tonight, 35,862 more to go! Female protagonist is taking a turn I didn’t expect!” It gets worse when I try to invite one of these friends to the movies. The response I get is something like, “No, sorry, I have 10,000 words left and there’s only a week to go!”

Experts contend that regardless of who wins both presidential and congressional elections, federal officials will face difficult roadblocks in 2013.
