These last few months it has become obvious to me that I need to take a blogging break. Not to go offline mind you, but to just stop writing posts for a bit. So January is going to be my break time.
I plan on blogging every day next week and then not post again until February 1st. I do plan on still visiting every one and hopefully comment, but even those might have to go on the back burner for a bit. I'm still going to read and I plan on doing a mini-review post for when I come back. One post with one paragraph for every book I read. That way if I am ever feeling extra wordy with no good outlet, I can always put those books into their own posts and call it a day.
However, I in no way plan to disappear permanently or for good. This is not one of those "I'm taking a break" that turns into a "hiatus" that turns into stopping blogging. I've seen that happen enough times that I've come to fear those "I'm taking a break" posts because I know what it usually presages. I will buck that trend and I will return.
So prepare for an onslaught starting on Sunday and then I'll do a See You in February post to remind you all (or the people who didn't see this post) of this on the following Saturday. Then it will be radio silence until February.
Cheers!
I'll miss your posts but absolutely get burn out, you've got to look after yourself first and foremost. Enjoy a quiet months reading and see you in February :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks Graeme. I still hope to haunt your place, even if I'm not commenting much (like usual). But blogging has started to weigh on me, you know? and just stopping for a couple of weeks seems like the easiest first try solution.
DeleteIt helps me, when I'm in a similar spot, so hopefully the rest will do you some good :o) There is pressure to produce regular posts and sometimes you've just got to step back.
Deletethe next step, if that doesn't work, is to get offline altogether except for paying bills, etc. I don't want things to get that bad :-)
