I've been pretty absent for the past week and a half. I would like to say it's been because of holiday stuff, but it hasn't. The reason I've been gone on all fronts is because I just haven't felt like doing anything.
My brain feels overworked and fried. When I try to think, it's almost as if I don't even have a brain. It's like my head is solid bone or packed very tightly with cotton. I can't even read let alone write.
However, I think all I need is a little break. I'm already starting to feel more motivated and... thoughtful today. I just need a few more days to destress and goof off.
So, since I've caught up on the last week and a half's worth of blog posts I missed, I'm taking this week off. No Internet, except perhaps the occasional email check. Of course, I'm hosting Michael Offutt on his blog tour this Friday, but that post is already set and scheduled so that won't require much more effort from me.
I'll be back next Monday to lay down my new goal system for 2013.
Until then, Happy Holidays!
Good for you! And don't worry, we all get that way sometimes and taking a break is the best thing you can do.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
Yes, not stressing about reading blog posts or meeting writing goals has been wonderful. My brain is feeling refreshed already!
DeleteI"m on break, too. Reading and writing. Occasional blog reading as now. It's fun not having pressure and deadlines. I want to get ahead a little, too.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be here when you get back. Happy Holidays! :)
I'm doing a little bit of reading. No writing right now. I did work on my goal sheet for next year. Does that count as getting ahead? ;)
DeleteHope your Christmas was good!
I'm so excited to be here on Friday. Hopefully Christmas Day brings you some serious loot that you can dip your fingers into and write write write about. Then you shall be inspired to beat the funk!
ReplyDeleteHowever, if that doesn't work, I might recommend a spa treatment in a spa near where you live.
I go to the spa and I have to tell you...I love it.
I'm pretty happy with what I got for Christmas. I got a very basic Kindle and issues 1-24 of The Walking Dead which I'm really excited about! I already accidentally broke the glass in one of my new picture frames which I'm sad about, but I can always get a new glass I suppose.
DeleteI know the 'burned out' feeling. I've still been doing little bits and pieces but I've been watching a lot of DVDs too. It doesn't help that the weather here right now is revoltingly hot.
ReplyDeleteYes. And actually I need to kind of kick my butt in gear right now to prepare for a summer camp audition at the beginning of February.
DeleteI would love for it to be hot here right now. 0-0 Instead, we have snow. -.-
