- Go to 'The Wall Of Infamy' For Those Who Have It 'In For Me'
Turning betrayal into art, into story
and building one's power as a human and a writer isn't revenge. It's growth. It's strength.

Sounds like a fabulous plan, Azur. Now if I could only get really mad at something or somebody.

I'm afraid that I have done a bit of writing on the "Wall Of Infamy" but it gets old really quickly.

Azir--- I agree with Brisbane about turning the hurt into something
positive. I also know the cathartic value of writing. It helped me survive a divorce years ago. When I go back and look at that journal, I am amazed at what I lived through. Now if only I could get it into the hands of a producer . . .

Azur,
I like the way her story turned out. I've written through many hurts and humiliations. I read something yesterday about healing, and someone wrote that telling one's story, having a narrative is critical to healing from trauma. It would be very traumatic to have your husband leave you for a friend, a double betrayal. I hope she found peace when she got the check for the script!

Brisbane artist, I don't think this is truly revenge
it's more about using feelings of hurt to do something positive for oneself. I'd say a book and a movie was a positive step for Cameron

just as long as the proving then wrong does not get in the way
of living and doing what you want and need to do

I slightly altered this post as I realised that I wasn't that bothered with letting them know

Bugger 'em. Just live well and longer.
You let them know they inspired you, and they'll sue.
