Well, today was a day of trying not to keep upsetting people. And largely failing. And maybe that's why the self-esteem gremlin kicked me just before lunch time, and all I really wanted to do was curl up and make the world go away.

However, I know this gremlin for what it is and after distracting myself for most of the evening with the rubbish on TV, I finally picked up the laptop during "The Ghost Whisperer" (yes, it was that bad) and forced myself to write.

Writing is good therapy. Only 330 words (ha! hark at me! that's twice what I was expecting to average only a fortnight ago and tonight it warrants an "only"!)

Ironically, today's scene involves Owutt trying hard not to upset people and thereby to avoid a fight.

Sorry you had such a trying day; I'm so glad writing proved a cure. And, yes, I think most of us here are being so successful we're forgetting that the target was only 167!

This comradeship in trying times is food for the soul. Glad to hear you've shown that gremlin the sunlight (obscure reference to Spielberg's film), and are carrying on plugging away :)
