My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.

Still Down, Sad
I haven't really had the heart to work on my book, or much else. It is not only hard to watch an addicted person go through all their shenanigans, but the accretion of losers she piles around her makes matters worse. She has been engaged two times to the same guy, though in different bodies (same substance abuse problems). They speak in Twelve Steps about powerlessnes, and I certainly feel that tonight. Usually I try to ignore the horrible things addicts will say to deflect attention from themselves, but tonight I am just worn down.
