That is, of course, a journey and this week is testing me sorely. Lately, several friends (actually no one on lj) have managed to take innocous comments and turned them into reason to bitch and rant. I've mentioned it again but wow, still happening. I know that sometimes I say something negative and probably hurt someone's feelings. We all do. I won't pretend that I like something that I don't but usually, if I know a friend likes it, I try not to be too negative about it (Twilight, 50 shades etc, I have people on the list that like it. I don't go into their journal and tell them it's crap)

So it's particularly irritating to have someone drop into a list of people where they know at least half of us want to be or are published authors and make a comment about how much new authors and their modern books suck.

Then I found out after the school made 250 cards with my degree on them (i.e. medical) that it's a felony in Ohio to do that if you no longer have an active license. Okay, I can see that they don't want people pretending to be doctors but it really feels like a kick in the teeth. So all of us who are retired (I AM medically retired) get stripped of the very thing we worked so hard to earn that if I publically mention it, it's a felony. Thanks for nothing. Thanks for telling me all I sacrficed was wasted.

See what I mean? Being a better person is hard some days.

But if my whining hasn't put you off, here, Tor publisher is doing steampunk right now and there's this.
