Nope, I'm not publishing that story. I'm going to pursue my novel series; that's a safe way to earn a decent living if I follow the steps in the group I belong to.

I can't stand to think about being mired in that awful stuff again anyway. I lived it for decades. I'm done. (without even considering the stress of angry people threatening to sue me etc.)

I had a little taste of allowing myself to slide into a negative place this week here because of the state of things, and it felt dreadful. I yanked myself out of it today. Yay!
