All the best, James. I only discovered you recently, so there's lots for me to read while you are on break, permanent or otherwise. Do share if you read something that you feel is mind blowing. Enjoy the garden, the dog, reading, and everything else.

One hopes the quill doth rest easy in the inkwell...awaiting resurrection...

Best wishes.

No! Just when I found you!

But seriously, I wish you well. It makes sense -- we all need a break from time to time! I hope you use yours to dive into things you enjoy and don't have much time for right now. And I'm glad to hear from a pro that the trad route was not for you. I'm still very much a beginner, at least in terms of getting my work out there, but I've made the same decision (for now). It's nerve-wracking, though, to strike out on your own!

I will miss the weekly installments. I am attached to these characters, but I completely understand. You have been roaring on all cylinders for some time and the mind needs to rest and recharge. I have a feeling it's a break and not a forever goodbye. Writing has a way to force itself back ... I know that hunger. Let's keep in touch!

Enjoy your free time. The writing bug will be back to bite you, whether you let it or not.
