Going ino Lurker mode.

This is just to let anyone who might be reading this know that I am trying to slightly reduce the time I am spending on the internet. So, I may be a bit quieter both in posting things here, commenting, and replying to any comments. I may be back more during the week, but I'm trying to give myself a rest the remainder of this weekend at least. I don't know if it is because I've been writing so much recently, or that I can trick myself into thinking that I'm relaxing when I'm really not, but I have realized that I haven't given myself any real 'me time' since... well Christmas really. I just want to have a little break from the fandom, and the online world even if just for a day or two. I feel quite drained really, which I think is coming from writing 60... 60??!!! stories in about 6 weeks. Actually, that would explain why I am feeling drained. So, anyway, I will probably still be reading things, I just won't be commenting on them for a few days.

*shrieks and covers eyes*

Why does she burn us, Precioussss? Whyyyy?

*grin*

Having just come off an enforced break, I can attest to the fact that sometimes it's a good idea to take a vacation from the emotional involvement and step back for a little while. Doesn't sound like you need the creative impetus, but the emotional space could be necessary!

*hugs*

Totally understandable. Hope you get some rest and enjoy your break :)

I just realised yesterday how much I use creation in my life. Not only am I now writing all these stories, but in real life I am usually designing at least 5 pieces of jewelery a week, sometimes up to 25-30 a week. I think I just needed a rest from everything as you most likely picked up on in the fic I wrote.

Anyway, thank you for your words of support!
