It’s been happening more and more recently, gentle reminding letters come at least once a week in the mail. All read the same thing, they were making the books more accessible to the public using online e-books. When asked to sell this, first I tried to grit my teeth and bear it, but not after the letter I got two weeks ago, informing me that my favorite book had switched to the dark side, and they even stopped printing copies.

Keeping my cool didn’t feel like an option, and instead of giving it time, I ran to write back a heartfelt hurt letter. Now, two weeks later, I pulled an embarrassing package out of the mail. In the envelope held a letter that stabbed my unprofessional self, causing me to feel even more regret about the incident before.

After reading to end, I saw that the bottom of the page had an ‘inspirational’ quote, “change can be good” which made my blood boil. With a scoff and an eye roll I repeated what I had done only two weeks prior, it seemed one criticizing letter wasn’t enough to stop me from sending them first.
