I am setting this thread up on "Coping with Emotions" because that is where we all get turned around; not knowing how to manage what upsets us.

Some of you are familiar with my writing; I will post here articles I write or the links to them on Medium. The links are free to use.

For example, my I rewrote my ebook on bullying and trolling and added a fourth chapter using what I wrote about owing the people I abused apologies.

Please, feel free to leave me comments; I love hearing from folks who read what I write.

*TRIGGER WARNING* BULLIED: Chapter 1: I am DONE Protecting My Abusers

BULLIED: Chapter 2: My Family Taught Me Hatred *TRIGGER WARNING*

BULLIED: Chapter 3: My Victims Were Faceless *TRIGGER WARNING*

Do I Owe You an Apology? *TRIGGER WARNING* - Landon Clary Eason - Medium

@HappyCrafter In the last day or so I've only just started reading your articles and so far, found them an engaging read. Angie my artisan girlfriend who is an artist and published author also read the articles. She appreciated how well you communicated and asked me to be remembered to you.

She also said it would be terrific if you could reach a larger audience by publishing e-books on Amazon Kindle. My girlfriend mentioned that if you knowledgeable of HTML formatting then it would be advantageous in selling books through them because their business charges approximate to 30% which is pretty competitive compared to other publishers.

Just leaving that with you to ponder.
Have a super weekend.

Thank you for your kind words about my writing and sharing them with your girlfriend, Angie, as well as her compliments!

The reason I don't publish on Amazon is because they have a rule where any writing published through them cannot be published anywhere else.

I post my writing here on this website, and that violates their rule. So, I publish through Draft2Digital.com and they distribute my ebook for me. I like working with them, they make the process super easy.

Here's the link so you can see the online bookstores where my ebook is:

Bullied: My Family Taught Me Hatred | Universal Book Links Help You Find Books at Your Favorite Store!

It is a Universal Book Link or UBL and is the same as I added to my signature below.

Have a super weekend too!!

Wow, Amazon were so monopolizing to insist on that, but kudos to you for making your own decision to better them, and I wish you luck.

Thank you for those links and also for previously being supportive.

My Daily Gratitude 02/14/2020 - Recovery Inspiration - Medium

Today, Friday, February 14, 2020, I am grateful for feeling better and more relaxed than I can remember.

Yesterday, I felt mellow for a few hours. That was really different for me because I have felt almost non-stop stress my entire life.

So feeling mellow is a great change for me!

Today, Monday, February 17, 2020, it occurred to me to want to take the best care of myself.

Being self-destructive almost my entire life, for me to choose that shows me how far my healing has come.

I can only write one article today.

Today, Tuesday, February 18, 2020, I feel gratitude for all opportunities I have to build my writing career based on my life in healing recovery from alcoholism, child abuse, and domestic violence into a happy, content, fulfilled life.
