Lane von Herzen: Obstructed DNC Town Hall Participation Today at Noon

My Third Novel's Conclusion, My Heartbreak

My heart begins to break when I think about completing this particular book -- because this narrative has sustained me like no other story I've known. It's both more personal and more universal than my other works. But beyond memory and archetype, it's a cri-de-coeur about needing to become the person one is destined to be. And in the writing, I have met my own life's work, my own fated journey -- having the sense all the while that the pages are suffused with a resonance, an energy, an electrified field that defies explanation. Writers hope and pray to be overtaken by a work in this way -- to be conscripted into passionate service of a profound story. To experience it even once in a lifetime seems a great privilege. I still have several months before this novel is complete, and this constitutes my reprieve. Because I'm not ready for the beauty to end.

Obstructed DNC Town Hall Participation Today at Noon

OIG Hotline, I have sent an email to your attention within lanemacwilliams@gmail.com, with copies sent to lmacwilliams77419@gmail.com and lmacwilliams7417@gmail.com, addressing the fact that I was obstructed from joining the DNC's Town Hall Meeting podcast at noon today. This was an event for which I had pre-registered online.

My attempts to join the Zoom meeting through my MacBook Air, as well as my attempts to join the meeting through a Zoom call via my cell phone (xxx-xxx-1467) , resulted in the message that the host had not yet joined the meeting. This experience is fully documented through an audio file and screenshots attached to my email.

I have included here with screenshots of the content of this email, which, as you see, bears a subject heading of the following: ATTN: OIG HOTLINE Re: Obstructed DNC Town Hall Participation, sent at 1:12 PM today, December 1, 2023.

Because I sat for a prolonged period of time with an open Zoom line, waiting for the host to begin the meeting (according to Zoom), I will notarize a new general affidavit for your Office today.

I do have faith that I will one day soon connect with the Democratic Party directly.

Please convey to them in the meantime that I am striving to do so, despite apparent ongoing obstruction from the far right within the FBI.

With abiding appreciation,
