I was finally able to catch up on some of my favorite blogs and (OF COURSE) yours is pretty much at the top. I love your posts and look forward to your fresh start come February (or sooner!).

After such a crazy year (including a crazy Nano that extended into December, and then the busy holiday season on top of that), it's no wonder you're tired. Enjoy the break! Stay entirely out of the blogosphere if you need to. Unplug. Rest. Fill yourself with good books and good people. *hugs* I'll miss your Musings, but you AND the blog will return better than before!<br /><br />Happy New Year! Gracious, what devoured 2016?<br /><br />(And I have to agree with Celti: four years of nonstop, consistent blogging is incredible. o.o Kudos to you!)Tracey Dyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445222618456673198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-6632904215664312522016-12-31T16:58:41.156-06:002016-12-31T16:58:41.156-06:00Yes!

It can be hard to look at it that way, because being writers we often have so little to show for all our hours being antisocial, but a thousand good words in a day tend to be better, and *usually* less draining than ten thousand slapped out without thought.<br /><br />Merry Christmas (yes I can still say that, it's not Epiphany yet) and Happy New Year!Sophia Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10393680730064003675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-22343874417644859112016-12-31T10:17:02.200-06:002016-12-31T10:17:02.200-06:00Well, that is just the sweetest thing.

My perfectionist side gets way too in the way of my mental health. >.><br /><br />YESSS. I'm the same. I set out to take this long, wonderful break and then just...don't. Or squander it away or...something! It should not be this hard to rest! Sheesh.<br /><br />Thank you so much, my dear Celti.

Every week for FOUR years? *collapses at the very thought* I haven't even HAD a blog that long and I feel like I'm constantly going "GUYS I'M EXHAUSTED I NEED A BREAK" and hiatusing. (That's totally a word, I promise. *coughcough*)<br /><br />"Yes, I have to /force/ myself to rest, it’s a problem." <-- THIS IS LITERALLY ME. -_- And even when I force myself to rest, I usually don't even listen to myself. It's bad. :P<br /><br />Anyways, I SO hope you enjoy this break and get to relax and recuperate!! You so deserve it!!! ^_^ *huggles* And of course I'll look forward to the epic return of your blogging. ;) Till then, have a fantastic hiatus! <333 AND HAPPY NEW YEARRRRRR!!!! :DDeborah O'Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969896655321575875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-77836972111467791322016-12-29T18:14:45.394-06:002016-12-29T18:14:45.394-06:00Good for you!
