Snakes on a drain…

Lynn is tired of those {word redacted] snakes coming up through the bathroom: One day last week Number Two Son found a snake in the bathtub. It provided about five minutes or so of entertainment but it got away. A……

Write about what you want to write about. You are not the prisoner of your audience, required to work variations on the same themes forever. It’s rather sad to see someone who had a big success in some style or mode, and then spends the rest of his life doing it over. (E.g. “Joe Bob Briggs”.)

I’d further add that while the world needs muckrakers and crusaders and reformers, too much continual focus on the Bad Things is debilitating. Historian Iris Chang wrote an acclaimed bestseller about the 1937 Nanking Massacre; but she could never get away from it afterwards, and it drove her to suicide.

Embrace the good things in your life, let the battles go. You’ve more than done your hitch.

Kate – to a large extent I’ve had similar feelings as you. I’ve been doing this for just over 2 years and in that time my politics have changed (or have the politicians moved from my politics?) and like you I find it has become tiring. I had hoped to provide some degree of rational opinion on current events but find that many net.readers instead prefer echo chambers. I was never in this for money or fame, if anything it was a way for me to clarify my own ideas or knowledge of a subject. Perhaps it is time for some deep thought under the fall foliage in VT next month.

I look forward to reading whatever it is you chose to share.

Best

Electric Venom…

The second blog I ever read is evolving and changing. Venomous Kate is no longer venomous…and so she has announced that her blog will forever alter…This is no longer a blog about what’s going wrong in the world out there, and both the content and …

ok, whew. I thought you were leaving for a minute there. I can totally deal with you not being a political blogger, as I generally avoid politics at all costs anyway. as long as you aren’t kissing the blogosphere goodbye, I’m a happy gal.
