I'm going on a semi-blogging hiatus for the month of August. I've got several projects that need my attention and I just can't do it all. I'm ready to explode. So instead of trying to do it all half-assed, I'd rather take a break and refocus.
I still plan on posting for IWSG and have a few posts prescheduled for blogging buddies that have books coming out (((so excited for them :D ))). But other than that, I'm going dark side of the moon. So until I resurface, I'm going to beat myself with a zen stick, reorganize my life off-line, and hope I can get my stuff together by September. Until then, I'll try not to become comfortably numb. May the force be with you and try and stay out of trouble. Yeah, riiiight. ;)
Love the picture! Good luck with it all, we'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta do what you gotta do to stay sane. I'm only posting once a week during the summer so I can stay on target with my writing goals. It's helping. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get everything done that you need to do!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for prioritizing what you need to do and going for it. Enjoy the break.
ReplyDeleteBonjour n'stuff, Elise,
ReplyDeleteI was halfway through my comment when suddenly, I was taken away from your site. Well weird. I seem to be back now.
While you are off on your semi-blogging hiatus for the month of August, can I take over Blogsville, or Blogland, or whatever it's called while you take your hiatus? Actually, why not have a "Semi-Blogging Hiatus Blogfest"? You could be the host. Yay! :)
All the best with your projects. I think it's best you try to work them through in realistic, manageable amounts. I have a major project. I'm trying to make a decent cup of British coffee. Wish we luck with that one. I have a hectic schedule signing autographs for my ever growing legion of adoring fans. No, not really. However,Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, has an ever growing legion of adoring fans. Most understandable. Okay, I do have three adoring fans. A garden gnome, a jack rabbit wearing a jacket and a wayward hedgehog.
Good to note you will be posting up about your blogging buddies with upcoming books. Is anybody not writing a book? Not having a WIP, whatever that is?
Of course, I'm thrilled you will be contributing to "I Was Seeking Gary." I'm flattered and thank you!
Your starstruck fan,
Gary :)
Ha! Love the picture. Gonna miss you, though. *tosses tissue away and stiffens upper lip* But it's for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is awesome! Love the rainbow. See you on the flip side...whatever that means. :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for Pink Floyd references :) I hope you have a great and productive blog break!
ReplyDeletewhile you're WIPing, don't forget to breathe, it's more important than eating, sleeping and beer... well, almost, when it comes to the beer ;)
ReplyDeletehaha trouble, who gets into that? Not the cat. Hope you get everything done
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, don't forget to breathe. :) Best of luck getting your work done.
ReplyDeleteWe'll all miss you! Have a productive hiatus :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get your 'stuff' together soon so you can start blogging again :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great (and organized) hiatus and take care.
I'll definitely miss you! But since I've been such a scattered blogger all summer...I totally understand~
ReplyDeleteSo we're going to be asking Is There Anybody Out There? And you'll be saying there's Nobody Home. But instead of complaining Don't Leave Me Now, I'll wish you a bon voyage to the Dark Side and hope you'll come back soon to fill the Empty Spaces on your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteTry some rest and relaxation as well on your hiatus - see you when you return.
ReplyDeleteNot only sort things out but get some time to yourself as well.
ReplyDeleteMay your time away be productive. And I love that album. It's 40 years old now and still amazing.
ReplyDeleteWill miss you- See you in September!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your hiatus and we'll see you soon! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love that picture. It has rainbows in it!
ReplyDeleteHi Elise .. don't blame you - and hope all are successfully completed .. and we'll see you rather sooner than you like I expect!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and enjoy the family vacances! Hilary
Ah as I come back you are leaving. lol. Well enjoy the break, it is sometimes needed.
ReplyDeleteAccomplish what you need with this hiatus and we'll see you soon.
ReplyDeleteBeating yourself with a zen stick? W00F? ;-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy, and good luck, and thanks.
Some Dark Romantic
The blogosphere always goes a bit quiet over August so good time to take a break.
ReplyDeletemood
Love the Pink Floyd mock-up :) I'm doing the same thing, and must say I've got loads done, hope you do too!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne @ Suzannes-Tribe
Hey E, good luck with those projects!
ReplyDeleteGet some R&R while you're at it!
I love the rainbow...
It's important to take a break, set priorities, get some sleep, etc. Hope you make some major progress with your WiPs.
ReplyDeleteYou do what YOU need to do, Elise. Your avid fans and friends will be here for you once you get back :D!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your hiatus! We'll see you when you get back. And IWSG too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the right thing to do, Elise. Take care. Do what must be done. Enjoy the break.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to go in search of a Zen stick.
Oh my gosh... that picture is too funny...
ReplyDeleteAnd brilliant idea, Elise. I'm excited to hear how it goes!
I had typed a good, witty response to you from my phone earlier today, but it didn't post. Now, I've got to try and duplicate it. You know how the second time is never the same. :) Anyway, I wish you lots of time to get on track and organized, and that you have many minions, even if only in your mind, to help you along. And I look forward to coming over tomorrow! Writer’s Mark
