I keep telling myself the trick to handling the Vortex of Chaos is to use judo, to take the swirling forces of my life in an utter mess and use them. I can't hit them head on, because I'll go under. But, I can grab hold of them and nudge them in a new direction. I can pivot the angst around and push it in my writing, to produce the drama and characters I need, thus lessening their force in my life.

So I keep telling myself.
Sometimes it even works.
