Just a Short Post to Let You Know I Am Taking a Break
In case it wasn't obvious already, this site runs on one set of hands. There's no backup writer waiting in the wings to cover for me when life pulls me in other directions. So I'm stepping away for a little while.
What I'm hoping to do with the time off is build up a good stockpile of fresh writing. Somewhere in there I expect a little inspiration to show up, the kind that nudges this whole project somewhere it hasn't been yet. Where exactly? No idea. That part is actually the fun of it. You set out without knowing what's waiting at the other end.
During the break I'll be doing the same thing I keep telling everyone else to do: paying attention to the world and figuring out who I am inside of it, learning as I go.
A break isn't something you can just walk into, though. You have to plan for it, make sure the things that depend on you won't fall apart while you're gone. I wear a few different hats in this life, and every one of them needs a bit of time and care before I can set them down for a while.
