Quality, Not Quantity: It's That Time Again
Note: I just edited out some of the things I wrote yesterday in this post. I think I said alot more than I needed to. Too late for the feed readers, but...Jeezus, it really is a good time for me to take this break.
_____________________
To anyone who gives a flaming shit, I'm taking some time away from the blog.
Other commitments in my life and just going to work every day are factors in this little hiatus of mine; they do cut into blogging time.
I've discovered I can actually write, and derive a deep gratification from it. But lately I've been caught up in trying to manifest interesting things to post about every other day. I don't enjoy feeling like I'm forcing things. I've reminded myself that I am not writing a daily newspaper column here. I have forgotten my own promise of no promises.
I have to say, I am in awe of all the bloggers out there who can and do post consistently, with energy, and with quality.
Thanks, fellow bloggers who've been reading and commenting here. I am learning a lot from you all. I'll still lurk around, perhaps creepily even, and comment on your posts because I enjoy reading your work. And the minute something strikes me that needs to be shaped into letters and sentences I shall post away...I don't think it will be too long before that happens.
Definitely not months, like the last time.
Alrighty then.

I will miss you in your absence, but feel free to lurk creepily around my place. I've never been one to worry about quality, so I can guarantee I'll throw crap up there every few days.
But I just discovered you!!!
*sigh*
Naw, it's cool. I totally and completely get what you're saying, and I feel the same pressure too. I am constantly obsessing over my blog, and really? That can't be good. It strips the joy away, no doubt.
In the past when I've struggled with this I've found that if I don't push it, eventually the muse returns. In fact it comes bottle-rocketing in in a blaze of glory and I can't to the computer fast enough. People who have to write? Have to write.
See you when you're ready.
We'll be very happy to read your words whenever you feel damn good a ready to write them.
Awww, thanks guys...
Oh, and Maggie, the strip club story WILL be written...just have to find that muse... ;}
Awww,
I'll be missing your posts!
Well, enjoy your disentanglement from Bloggerville, and Say hi to Emma from me!
Thanks to your comments on Maggie's blog, I just found yours, only your leaving.
I think that happened to me at a party once.
Do keep writing. You'll make it through, believe me.

I know that feeling. I have been posting less and less of late, so this occasional blogger will still be by from time to time to see what's cooking:)
Sorry to see you go .. Hope you grabbed Oreo Cookie Blues.
Good to see you posting, even if it's not as often. Sometimes I think you can find a comfortable balance between quality and quantity to stay connected.
Cheers!
I just found you too. Great!
hello,HELLO! ECHO ECho echo...
And it has been months...
hi mate, this is the canadin pharmacy you asked me about: the link
God damn all spammers!
Shame on them for attacking poor defenceless dormant blogs.
Where exactly is Canadin?
the way you ramble on about feeling like forcing things, reminds me of taking a crap. Gonna miss you shit........
