Avoiding Drama

I was having
what I thought was
a good conversation
with a newer writer online.

Then,
all of a sudden,
she made the conversation
personal
and she was aggressive
about this.

I immediately deleted all my comments
and blocked her.

Why?

Because the latest tactic
for newer writers
to gain attention
is to accuse a more experienced writer
of targeting them
in some way.

F*ck that.
I refuse to engage.

And I doubt,
in the future,
I’ll share advice
with newer writers.

Do not engage
with drama seekers.

The drama will merely escalate.
And you will likely lose control
of the situation.

Walk away
and block.
