Hello everyone. This is Refried. It is Friday, April 25. I am participating in a three day writers event and it is just great.  I am enjoying it a lot. So far my writing samples are doing great and getting positive feedback.  Which honestly I did not know how that would go.  Because this novel is way more journalish than my other writing. 

Tomorrow morning, I will wake up and write some more pages. Then at 3 we meet on zoom. 

I have been watching some conservative comedy videos. Personally I think those people are brave and did well and I support them.  There is a range of how funny stuff is but mostly I think they shared their true perspective and will gain respect from many sources for it. Unfortunately, some of the political problems are worse than just different perspectives.  It is a life and death crisis that will hurt young people and many vulnerable populations. 

Tonight I went to a support group and honestly I was a little too depressed to be a good participant.  I think I was tired, worried about medicine, and in an apartment that was too warm.

But I ate some ice cream and took my medicine and am okay now.  Breaking the pills in half is fine for a month or two.

The cops are following me in the neighborhood and treating me like I am some kind of predator or even a child abuser.  I know that is how they want me to feel, and I know that is the threat that seems most likely to really bother me as a children's book writer.  And the housing people have their threat to make me suicidal, and the mental health program has a strategy to be so abusive that I say slurs.  And this is the same stuff that has been happening since working at Barnes and Noble.  I do not know who can help me with it, but there is a conspiracy that sometimes shows sudden cooperation among seemingly unrelated participants.

I mailed two books today. Hopefully they will be appreciated and reach the people. I will focus on mailing out some more in the next week or so. I am glad I finally put the name on the spine and maybe it is too bad it wasn't like that before.  But maybe it is fine.

It is getting too warm again at my chair and table station where I sit at my computer. I do not know why that is, but I think I will lie down and rest for a while. Maybe I will listen to music. I listen to the same songs on repeat because I am scared of bad videos being sent to my youtube feed.

But I think I should not live in fear. I think I should do what I am supposed to and request a good pro bono lawyer if something bad happens.  Legal Aid does not usually help.  And usually it comes down to housing people abusing me and me needing the housing so I have to be bullied.  God doesn't like that.

Well, that is all for now. Thanks everyone for following along. I think there will be a break in some of the AI stuff and the book publishing and I will mostly send messages to friends who have not gotten books yet.  Really sorry about that but I think some people understand.  And maybe they will be happy to get the books with the name on the spine.
