I even came up with a good idea in the shower (You know, thank god for the shower. My stories would be less fleshed out and my blog emptier without my time in the shower. For reals.) but when I sat down to blog about it, I was just met with a "meh" feeling.
So, I think I will take a small blogging break. Not too big, just for next week. By then, I should have some mojo back. I should, at the very least, have a WIP update by then since I'm starting to hear back from my beta readers (though I'm still waiting on my critique from Agent Sara Megibow. And the closer it gets to the end of February, the more crazy I get about checking my email for it.)
So, Yvie will still have a Friday Fun this week, but then we'll be on a break for next week.
Hopefully I'll see you back here then!
First, you are too sweet. I've missed you too and I smiled when you said you had me in the must reads :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your slump goes away! I've had a fairly long one myself...they happen. I'll be lookin forward to your return. And that Gif guy keeps making me yawn. So contagious. Enjoy the break! :)
Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeletei'm in a blogging slump too. Too much going on. Almost done. ;)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Relax and recharge. Yvie can hold down the fort. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break! <3
ReplyDeleteErica - slumps seem to be popping up everywhere right now. Maybe it's the time of the year
ReplyDeleteHeather - thanks!
Christine - Yay!
Maria - eh, she can be pretty slumpy when she wants to be
Shannon - thanks!
Have fun on your break! Your mojo will come back. I promise. :)
ReplyDeleteSee you on the flip.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm in a total blah slump too. Not blogging-wise, since I pretty much do the same things every week, but everything else.
ReplyDeleteAfter my cold last week, everything just seems...gray. I don't really want to do anything. I'm not even that excited about the Oscars on Sunday.
Blegh.
At least you had some James VanDerWhatever for us. Thank god for that.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy some *you* time, blogging can be pretty hard.
ReplyDeletePsst...your mojo is behind the thingy, under the what-not :-)
Enjoy your break, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been considering a break too, but not for the same reasons. I just need to get other stuff done!
ReplyDeleteJanel - i'm sure it's just hiding about somewhere
ReplyDeleteAnne - will do!
Teebore - yeah i hear that. I think it's the stupid tease of a false spring followed by another blizzard that really did me in
Matt - LMFAO!! Thank god indeed
Margo - LOl - ohhh, is that where it got to?
Laura - thanks!
Holly - there is that too, thought nothing immediate for me until i hear back from all of my awesome betas
I've been in a bit of a slump since Januaries, so I understand entirely. Rest up and take lots of showers! ;)
ReplyDeleteAlso, good luck with the wip. Woo!
Get energized and inspired and we'll see you next week!
ReplyDeleteThe critique from the agent sounds really exciting. Hope that goes well! Enjoy some time off, and have a fun break.
ReplyDeleteHave a great break.
ReplyDeleteCome back with more of your usual inspiration!
have a great break. Keeping my fingers crossed you hear back on the crit soon :)
ReplyDeleteYou KNOW why that shower thing works, don't you? It's because you're NAKED. Naked frees the muse. Muses hate binding clothing... *nods* Your assignment, Grasshopper, is to help spread the word. We would ALL be happier and more creative if we were naked...
ReplyDelete(hope you aren't gone too long!)
Naomi - i think mine's like a combined christmas/birthday slump. I wouldn't be surprised to find that it happens to me the same time each year
ReplyDeleteAlex - thanks! I'll try!
Roxy - me too! I'm super excited and nervous
Al - i hope to!
Lindsay - thanks! I hope to be able to do a blog post on it. Or at least an update
Hart - very, very true. I will spread the word Post-Haste!
Enjoy your break, Sarah! I think it's good to take a bit of time off and just kick back. Hope you return to the computer revitalized and rarin' to go!
ReplyDeleteBreaks are very important and a necessary part of a blogger's life. :P
ReplyDeleteAw! Lots of people taking breaks these days. I'll miss you!
ReplyDeleteYou go take you a *good* break! I just did, though an unintentional one due to flooz (me and two kids, down for days... and it sucked just exactly as much as you'd expect it would:-))
ReplyDeleteSometimes, a break is just what's needed! Take a breather, and you will be back better than ever no doubt :D
ReplyDeleteOH this is why you have not post for today!! LOL! I think you should take a week off regularly, like I'm doing. I definitely feel more recharged as far as topics and crap go. JOIN US! and my "us", I mean, me.
ReplyDelete
