Side B: A New Leaf

Thanks to a piece I published last week called Your Faithful Disciple, I happened to be put in the feature box for the first time since joining the site, which happened at this point very close to a decade ago. In that time, I’ve put out only a handful of stories, many of which sit unfinished. But being featured inevitably attracts attention—attention for which I am grateful, and which has

Someone Else's Story

This blog post is long overdue, and I apologize.
So over the course of approximately four years, I've managed to put out what amounts to four chapters to Someone Else's Sun. On average, that's a chapter a year, give or take. So I'm not the most prolific of writers; my attention gets pulled elsewhere, and, frankly, my talents are better spent working on others' stories than writing my own.

Maybe I'm idealistic, but it frustrates me how kneejerk reactions destroy friendships, destroy relationships, destroy groups.

For those who know what I'm talking about, no, the group wasn't destroyed so much as temporarily inconvenienced, but the root of the problem is the same.

Anger is irrational, yes. I don't think it's an excuse. Maybe I'm naïve, but I hold to the ideals of the show we're all here because we like. Don't assume. Don't explode. Talk. Getting angry over stupid things is a waste of effort and a waste of energy. Maybe you're in charge. Maybe you aren't. It's irrelevant.

Friendship is grounded by respect. Groups are held together by respect.

Respect each other. And if you feel someone doesn't deserve that respect, tell them. Don't explode. Don't take your ball and go home.

Believe you me, I'm not above this. I'm not perfect. I know that; and break out your hypocrite whistles if you wish. I'm just trying my best to make what's left of the world a better place.
