Hopefully, insurance is going to cover my stuff. I’ve earned $300 writing this month, and I’m getting another $300 stipend for mentoring another teacher. I’ve already bought all of the Christmas presents I’m going to buy, so I ought to be able to get another laptop ($800 range) and then put the insurance money in savings–after I’ve bought a new iPod. That would be a good outcome, right?
Pacian was spot on about how losing the novel can be a positive thing. Now I don’t have to worry about reworking it. I can start from scratch. Perhaps it was an albatross of sorts anyway, blocking me from writing other things.
I tell myself these things, and I believe them.
As long as you can look at the bright side… Also it just might be the best time of the year to look for deals.

I agree with Kelvin – even though it sucks that this happens, there are all kinds of deals to be had this time of year. Looking at the silver lining is almost always a good thing

Good deals abound! I’m glad that there are some positives. I would still be MAD though!

Ditto Margaret! It just burns me that you’ve had to experience this.

“I tell myself these things, and I believe them.”
In terms of good outcomes, believing is all you need for it to be true.
