In the interest of reaching even one of my meager writing goals set this week, here is your Friday Five:

1. I’ve been writing as much as I can on my NaNoWriMo project, but that process is turning out to be molasses slow. It is clearer than ever that I need a computer at home if I’m going to have a book published before I’m 50. How did people even make this happen before computers? I’m in awe of them.
2. There’s so much sadness and terribleness in the world. But it’s not just “out there.” It’s here. It’s in our country and in our hearts. I am saddened to know that the freedom of many citizens to practice their religions by welcoming the outcast has been denied them this week. I am sadder to understand what that means for the outcasts. I want to be angry, but then I look at my own couch, empty of any refugees or people in need, and I am force to look at my own practices. Am I welcoming people as I ought? My favorite post of the week is from A’Driane Nieves – We ARE the threat.
3. I love superheroes, but I especially love this.
4. My favorite couple on my current favorite show are a real couple in real life, and they’re having another baby.  *fangirl squee*
5. Send more cat pictures. Especially ones where they don’t realize they’re being adorable. And  for those who wonder why cats gravitate to people who don’t want their love – finally an explanation.
