Our Life in Prose and Memes
Amazon found these today and sent me a gift.
I have no idea how this set of long-ago memes found their way to Amazon, of all places, but when I opened their email this morning I felt as if they somehow knew how much I needed to see them again. I won’t even question how they got there.
A couple of days ago I went on a bit of a rant on my sister blog, Writer Everlasting, and again at Medium. While I still believe every word of it, I probably should have kept it in my journal where no one would ever see it. Now I have writer/readers feeling sorry for me when that wasn’t ever my intent. Some thought I was going to give up writing altogether, thanks to my incoherence, but others knew exactly why I finally blew.
The upshot is that I’m giving up on political writing for a while. Maybe even forever. And that means this blog will change, too. I can’t say I’ll never bring politics up again, but I hope with all that’s holy that I’ll think twice before investing both my time and my heart into what’s essentially a meaningless exercise.
