I've been writing a lot the last few days. As the title says, it's a distraction, from the horrible things going on in our country now. I know we're not supposed to go on political rants here, so I won't say more.
I tend to do what the kids call 'doom-scrolling,' and writing keeps me from too much of that, for a while anyway.
I think I'm going to go read a few dirty stories now. Maybe that will help.
