you're so vicious :allears:

sng i'm an aspiring novelist too and next year i'm going to do what my family have been dreading all my life, quit my job to work full-time on my book. i never intended to do this but trump and leonard in one week have thrown my world view into total disarray and i am not entirely sure that we as a species will make it through another decade so my new philosophy is "gently caress it"

I should dust off my manuscript and do a couple more drafts

That does seem to be the impression these circumstances are giving, yes. Okay, here's a better question:
What if I just ignored all of this and went on with my daily college routine? There's nothing I can do really.
