On a more positive note (since helping this person *really* affirmed for me the importance of the stories that constituted most of my published work for over a decade, informed by life among *so* many hurt people who hurt people), I have done something a bit indulgent today and put on a dress a friend once made for me *out* of my words. Today I'll finish pbk tweaks on the collection to *hard* launch on July 11, after so much sadness froze me on J4. Tomorrow we move on.
