Going Dark Side

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. ;)

  2. You 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. :)

  5. Bonjour n'stuff, Elise,

    I 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 :)

  9. while 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 ;)

  14. I'll definitely miss you! But since I've been such a scattered blogger all summer...I totally understand~

  15. So 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. :-)

  33. Oh my gosh... that picture is too funny...

    And brilliant idea, Elise. I'm excited to hear how it goes!

  34. 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
