So. It’s Thursday. I’ve been looking back over the blogging of the last two years, looking at other people’s blogs, and see that the best ones have a vibrant, lively feel arising from their opinions. And I’m realizing how little I want to express my opinion out loud.

THAT is totally HILARIOUS.

Because do you know how opinionated I am? Oh yes. I am a Quiet and Unassuming Wallflower. Until there’s a keyboard involved.

I guess it’s partly the ongoing health stuff and how it wears me out. It’s also partly the ongoing troll stuff, and how writing anything of significance and purpose online is like writing a book: there will be really arrogant people who are determined not to listen effectively and have to make sure I know all of that about them.

Basically, I’m too busy doing Real Things to entertainingly toy with arrogant and trollish crap-factories the way I used to, which makes online a lot less fun.

As far as topics that really, really matter so much that I just have to write about them–I’m sorry, friends. My world has gotten very small. Pain management is the only one, and it does not inspire me to write about it.

Heck, it even depresses me, let alone people who have to listen to me. And I love you too much to depress you like that. (Have I told you I have to get knocked out cold to get a wrecked molar removed? And that the stress on my damaged jaw joint could result in another several weeks or months of physio and extreme cranial pain? No. I haven’t. Because I love you too much. We’ll do that convo when we’re 95 and living in the nursing home, darling.)

So since we’re not 95 (are we? Don’t let me be politically incorrect here), SciendaQ is available for purchase just a tad early on Barnes & Noble. And yes, I promise, the writers in this issue still rock as much as they did last time I mentioned it. Please support literary awesomeness!
