The Pink Journal

It's the end of the world as we know it. Yes, that’s a bit dramatic but it’s fitting.

So this nation elected Trump. I am shocked and embarrassed by the outcome of this election. Are people so uneducated and bigoted in this country? Probably……

I have never been this afraid of anything as much as I am of Donald Trump at this moment. This nation has put a man in power that will do his best to undue every good thing done for equal rights. He hates everybody that is not just like him.

I am a woman. I am Pagan. I rely on a monthly disability check and Medicare. I am everything he hates. What does this mean for me? I don't know but whatever it is, it won't be good.

I have family that is LGBT and family that are black. I fear it will be even worse for them.

I fall back on my studies of paganism for comfort now. I cite the threefold law. Whatever you do, either good or bad, will come back on you, three times stronger. Yes, I’m talking about karma but I’m also talking about how the universe will make things right in the end.

Trump’s hate will come back on him with a vengeance. I just hope it's sooner rather than later. The universe will give him his punishment but not before we have to endure hardship.

The financial markets are already showing the consequences of this nation's choice. What will be next? I’m not sure.

For those of us who are not straight, white, Christian, or a man, we are going to have a long four years ahead of us.

May the Goddess bless us and keep us safe. We are going to need to be strong.

1. Get 250,000 words out for GWYO 2016.
2. Win NaNoWriMo for 2016.
3. No repeat Big Bangs! If I have done it once then I won't do it again.
4. Decrease “The Pile” by three or more stories.
5. Try not to add too many new stories to “The Pile”.
6. Take August off. No writing just reading and relaxing. Maybe do some crafty things instead?
7. Prep for NaNoWriMo in September. Have an outline and a clear vision of an original story that I want to tell.
8. Write more original fiction. I want to write good long multi chaptered ones that I can post on Booksie/BooksieSilk.
9. I want to self-publish at least one novel on Amazon before I die.
10. Find a permanent home for the Ogham-Duir stories. Those stories have been hiding on Dreamwidth for years now. Booksie and AO3 are just not the right fit for them. They need a more fantasy based site.
11. Add one more fandom to my writing list. I’m a fan of a lot of things (movies/tv shows) but I don't write fan fiction for all of them.
12. Write stories for more than my top three fandoms.
13. Keep up with monthly updates, word tracking updates, and NaNo updates for 2016.
14. Pick one landcom and stick with it.
