Post: An Ultimate Blogger Hiatus Begins


All right. It's not as ultimate as you think (and it's no vacation either), but I feel I must level with you all.

My WiP is on the verge of completion--three chapters to go (aside from what I'm presently drafting), and I'm no closer to finishing it than I was last month. Taking the advice I've posted these last few weeks to heart, I've decided to take a month-long social networking hiatus. No blogger, Facebook--nothing, until the WiP is done. I'll browse what you post, but I have no time to draft my own or place comments. This thing needs to be done. Outlining the rest of the book past 3 AM has driven me to this decision, as are some of my beta readers who are impatiently tapping their feet. Plus, I'm moving . . .
(who knows when we'll have Internet access again).

WiP . . . you're going down!

Before I go, I'd like to acknowledge two new followers!

Sophie Li - An active writer with a heartfelt dream.
J. L. Campbell - A prolific writer from Jamaica!

If you haven't seen their blogs . . . well, see them!

Friends, I bid you ado-well. Keep at your writings, even if you sacrifice the little things that are big to you. I'll keep my word count meters updated if you'd like to monitor my progress. I hope to post again in July!

What sacrifices have you made for your writing?

I'm David, and so begins a new chapter in life!

  1. You're making the right decision, David. Bloggerland will still exist in a months time and right now what matters is your WIP. Come September, when I start my 12-week work break, blogging will HAVE to take a back-seat.

    Good luck with your WIP!

  6. I hear you David. We are moving yet, but first we have to sign the papers for the house and that keeps changing. Ugh. I had to cut back on my blogging too.

    I posted the tag you gave me today.

  7. Good luck, I might be joining you in this hiatus. My current is far from over, but it is time sucking me away.
