The "bad news" machine follows me around, ensuring I'm updated on the latest pessimism.

Didn't order it, don't want it, I refuse it.

#5amWritersClub, where bad news should live in the writers hands.

Until too many dragons #makeitworse and then you've got a real good story on your hands. Have fun!
