There's too much going on.
There's too much I have to do.
Mentally, physically and emotionally, sorry I can't show up. It's too much.
Also, so annoying to be told things about ;someone; I want nothing to do with.
Friend: Oh, she's written a Harry Potter style book!
Me: Pffft, like we need another one?
Friend: I read a sample of it, it's pretty good.
Me: Did she self-publish?
Friend: No, I'm sure she's through a proper publisher.
Me: Pffft. So that's what she was doing on her computer, at the swimming pool, instead of supervising her kids in the pool.
Also me: notes 'someone' self-promoting their book on facebook community pages under a new name.
Blocks new profile.
Goes to Amazon to make sure her book doesn't get recommended to me or shows up on my searches.
Notes she is self-published.
Notices she's writing both erotica AND children's books under the same name.
I MEAN. COME ON. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS?!
