Stress, Stress, and more of it

Well my mom and my older sister are speaking again and i understand because thats my moms daughter but that doesnt mean i have to. I'm so disappointed in my sisters behavior towards my mom, and the way she has treated me and my little sister. I love my nephew and i'll put everything aside for him, i'll make sure to act cordial when hes around. this is the worst situation to be in because my nephew is involved and i dont want to be a bad aunt. I'm kind of tired of living in small towns because theres not alot to do and if you say one thing about someone or something or even do anything, the whole town knows about it. Plus there are people i'm trying to avoid so thats another reason. I recently ended a friendship with someone i've known since high school. It wasnt easy for me but i could not continue being treated the way i was by this person. A few months ago this person asked me if wanted to stay over at her house, and i accpeted because it was going to be the last time i do something with this person. So i  did, This former friend, told me she was writing a series and as a supportive friend i wanted to see it, hear her read it. When she read it to me, there were a few things i found wrong. First, she didnt have chapters, isnt a book suppose to have chapters? Second , what about character background? i just didnt understand. I think its awesome that she found a way to get it published but she had a 'connection' and to me i would rather work hard, when i publish my book, i'm going to make sure i found the right person to edit it, give me feedback, and i'm going to save up my money. When writing a book, it shouldnt take one month, basically thats rushing it, things could go wrong. I've been preparing my book since i was 19. I am very observant and i'm a writer well soon to be, i know what to expect when writing something. I am not trying to be rude because i'm not fond of this person, i just didnt understand.   I havent been to church in a while and last week i came back and it made me feel alive again. I was so happy to return. I certainly learn alot every time i go. I cant wait to go back this sunday
