Taking a (sort of) brief writing break

I’ve been working on and (mostly) off on my novel project since I completed the first oh-so-primitive draft around 2011. For years I’ve tinkered with it, revising endlessly and gradually getting it closer to something presentable, but I’ve regularly run out of drive and the thing would then languish on my drive for the next several months before the urge to write found me again.

Well, we’ve come ’round again, and this time I’m fortunate that I’ve just scored some outside help – nothing like the promise of a second pair of critical eyes to give me the kick in the bum I need to get cracking. But I’ll have a hard time getting anything done if I spend hours a day trying keep up with all the news flying around and blogging it. So something’s gotta give.

As of now, I’m taking an indefinite semi-break. “Semi” in that I’ll still be around and I’ll still make the occasional post when a story just has to be opined on (not to mention the weekly puppycide posts will continue without interruption), and “indefinite” in the sense that I have no idea how long it’ll last – could be a few days, could be a few weeks. We’ll see.

In the meantime, I’ll be no less active on Twitter (which is my main hub anyway) and, to a lesser degree, on Facebook (which I mostly use to cross-post links from Twitter), so find me there at any time. You can also reach me by email.

Sporadic and infrequent blog posts, hanging out on Twitter and working on personal projects … wait, maybe this isn’t any different from business as usual after all.
