So I know I said I would have my fired story posted today, but alas, I didn\u2019t finish it. Honestly, it has been one of the hardest things I\u2019ve ever had to write. There are so many emotions associated with it, so much trauma, so many triggers. I was officially fired on August 2nd<\/sup>, and I\u2019ve been trying to write this story for a while now, probably like since the end of August. Until recently, I haven\u2019t been able to work on it for more than like an hour or so before it becomes too painful, before I need to get away from it. Then I thought maybe I would just let it go, you know, not think about it, not write about it at all and just move on from it, move on with my life. After all, I have other things to write about. Hello, can someone say my book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, writing is a painful exploit for me to begin with and you add on a traumatic event like getting fired into the mix, and it becomes exponentially harder. That\u2019s why in the multiple attempts I\u2019ve had at writing this thing I wanted to just leave it alone and walk away\u2026but I couldn\u2019t. I felt like I needed to write this story. I felt like someone needed to read it. Furthermore, I feel like I can\u2019t go on to write anything else until I get this thing out of me. And so I persisted and now the story has become really long. I spent about three hours on it yesterday, and another three today, and several more hours last month, but not that much more. Now I have this clear idea of what I want it to be and this clear idea of how I want to tell it. Of course, being clear in my head doesn\u2019t easily translate to being clear on the page.  I just feel like I want to do it justice. So, I don\u2019t know, I didn\u2019t make it today, but I\u2019ll try again tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I did not want to do, however, is leave you hanging. I\u2019m determined to do a post everyday this month\u2026I hope I make it, though I feel like I should say I will make it\u2026I think I will.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
