It's not me, it's you.

Jaded, that's what I am. I'm jaded. The word just came to me spontaneously a few minutes ago, when I was reviewing my 77,000 words of first draft and thinking it was all shit. I'm jaded with my book. I'm jaded with the election. The whole thing seems so... I haven't volunteered this time round, not even once, which is a pure disgrace. OK my ned-fest course only finished yesterday, but I should have been out today, doing Nigel Griffiths things, I haven't volunteered one day not only since the campaign began but this entire year, and sometimes I just think I won't bother.
Got to bother. Onwards and upwards not backwards and downwards.
