I've been feeling incredibly frustrated lately. Not because of anything in my personal life, oh no, but because of something in my online life (which seems to be ever-increasingly dominating the former). This blog. This blog, which, although not THE main focus of my creative day-to-day thoughts, still seems to receive a fair amount of my opinions on the world. It's not that I want to stand in my town triangle with a loudspeaker and force my thoughts on poor passersby, but I do feel like I'm pouring opinions into a black hole. Everything goes into it, but no discussions get started and no one reads what I write. Let's straighten this out. It's my fault. I don't send e-mail announcements for blog posts because (a It's maddening when people do that, and (b I am terrified of what people might think of me once they're done wading through the inner recesses of my mind. There's a small but uproarious and bad-ass part of my brain that's just saying, "Too bad! You think what you think! Put it out there! If people disagree that's fine too! Just do it! If they mind, they'll tell you!"
Since I don't really keep in active contact with any family members or friends via email, I don't feel justified in sending them things. It's sure to bother them, right? Anyway. I don't know.
