As soon as I can get that new toy of mine working correctly, my rough draft chapter will be on its way to Teraisa for her reading pleasure. Hi, my name is Teraisa. There are hundreds of people here tonight, mostly writers. All eyes are on me. I came here today, not as a victim, but as a survivor.
Complete strangers stand up and cheer.
They know the torture I have endured and will continue to endure, because they have all been here before. Tears stream my face. I have not revealed my story and all its sordid details, but to be honest, I am already relieved by admitting I have this disease. Frankly, I assumed being a procrastinator was just a way of life. My way of life.
