Time out
I've been waffling around this decision for a few months now, which is probably pretty telling.
I think it is time to take a bit of a break.
Too many things are making writing feel unfamiliar right now. It feels like my fingers and thoughts are slower, my words emptier, my mind more blank. I feel disconnected, less confident about my words. I have little time to write, which makes what used to be a joy feel like a burden. I feel like I'm only participating in the blogging community half-heartedly due to my overflowing schedule.
It just doesn't fit right now.
It's hard to post this, though. It feels a little like giving up. Still, I hope by giving myself the needed space away, things will start flowing again. If they don't, well, I'll deal with that when the time comes.
I'm still around, though. You can always reach me by email, and I'm hoping to keep on posting on my weekly spot at Umm... Now What. However, I am looking for a few (or more) good guest posters for that site as well, so please be in touch if you are interested!
See you around :)

I will miss your posts but completely understand the need for a break. Sometimes as bloggers we just need to walk away either for a break or all together. Best of luck Princess!
I understand, I've been thinking about doing it as well. But I'll miss your posts, so do come back. :)
Bummer. Ya'll come back though, ya hear!
I completely understand what you're going through. Take a break. Enjoy the time away from the computer. I'll miss your posts here, though.
Enjoy your break, and if so called to post again, I will gladly read what you have to say.
Miss you, dear! See ya when you get back :-)
Oh! Me me! I'm interested. I really will miss your posts though. But we all need a break once in awhile right?
My "time out" went remarkably well. Re-markably.
I'll miss your iFace!
you'll be missed!
aw, nuts.
it's understandable though. sometimes you just have to focus on the bigger things, and not spread yourself too thin.
aw i'll miss your posts and stories. but yes come back someday! :)
It's understandable, I too feel blogging can be overwhelming a lot. COme back soon and enjoy your break :)
Aww i'll miss reading your posts, but I understand a break is necessary sometimes. I'll be watching to see when you do. Miss you!
I feel you. Trust me though, the urge comes back :)
Take your time, do your thing, enjoy the break and we'll be here when and if you decide to come back :)
I hope your break will be a good one for you!
i understand, lady. you have to do what feels right.
you'll be missed though, for sure. keep in touch!
i'll miss you, but i'm so glad we have facebook <3
i hope things calm down soon!
I'm happy for you; this just shows that you are a healthy person. Good for you.
Typical. I can't read your blog for moths because I have no internet connection in rural France, and then I get this. I'll guess I'll have to hit the archives.
When i say 'moths' of course I mean months. I haven't been off line because I have been held hostage by Basque Moths.
This happens to the best of us. Don't feel guilty about it. The words will come back to you.
Yep, my break is still on-going but will hopefully come to an end soon.
I think the writing drive is strong enough here for it not to be the end.
Stay in touch.
See you around, babe.
Hope you're having a good break. I'm on one too :-)
Aw man. I miss your posts.
I totally understand. I've been trying to take a break too, but then I realize that no one is listening to what I have to say out in the real world so I always come back!
Enjoy your time away!
Bummer, I just found you.
