Daily Thoughts

There are people I don’t like. I can’t help it. I don’t like people who lie, cheat, or make fun of other people in public. When someone does something like that to me online, I try to handle it privately. Unfortunately, there are some people who are just malicious.

I am trying to become a freelance writer. I had found one site where I was making some sales, although I wasn’t really working very hard at it lately. I’ve had a lot on my plate, so I regrouped and set some different priorities.

Then something happened that ruined that site for me, and maybe my entire online freelancing career. Someone took a private email that I had written them in response to a particularly hateful forum comment to me, and posted it on the forums.

Now maybe I was wrong to even try to email this person, because she had already posted on the forums that she is bipolar. I think maybe that’s been a problem for her online anyway, because she has only showed up under this name for the last few months. People who have mental problems tend to show up for awhile, do something insane, get kicked off of the sites they’re on, then disappear and come back under another name.

Anyway, I’m devastated, because this was going to be my professional writing name, and now it’s ruined. I have been going through some really tough stuff lately, my mother dying, loss of my job, etc. This freelancing was supposed to pull me out of this dump that I’m in, and now it’s ruined. The one site where I made any decent money is gone for me, and now I’m just sitting here wondering what to do next.

I guess this post is just to vent a little, because I’m tired of crying.
