   #WritersCoffeeClub 5May—Have you ever worked through a bad experience by writing fiction?

   Before I left my job, I had a condescending, narcissistic manager who refused to promote me because I didn't agree with her.

   So I wrote a book where the antagonist—a condescending, narcissistic ruler—begins losing her control over the empire. And when one young woman (from a class the ruler looks down on) comes into her own power, the ruler meets her end.

   There's more to the story, but... yeah.

     Addendum: There are other experiences I've worked through as well. Sometimes I do it subconsciously, and only realize it after the fact.

     That's when I sit back and I'm like, "Oh. *Oh.*" 😅
