Stop surveilling me and coercing me

You can re-negotiate, but you have to let me say no based on this negotiation. No Tina movie; only my short stories. That's fair, and that's my decision.

This has failed. You've wasted months of my time, months of your time, and you've caused several acute bipolar episodes.

That's all that has happened during this 'negotiation'

You need to let me say no, then email me tomorrow.

I can't stop being paranoid because you're not listening.

I can't stop being paranoid because I need you to accept I've said no.

That's the only thing that can stop this.

You have to let me say no.

You have to accept me refusing your 'generous' offer.

Until you let me say no, respect my no, and then try again with real emails, real lunches and real contracts (and even then I want to say no), and you are going to respect that I am allowed to say no.

No 't he' only Amanda saying no.

Always Amanda saying no.

No t he, no symphony, no pan's preludes. Only NO.

Always NO.
