enjoy your time off!!
I, too, am taking a break. Sometimes it's really important to remain offline! Have fun!
Hi Jazz - just discovered you and have been looking through your posts! So true about the writing rituals. I was halfway through writing a novel last year which ground to a halt when my depression took over. Couldn't work out how to write an email let alone write creatively at first! But my blog (recently started) is my ritual. First step in finding my voice and hopefully getting back to where I was.
Also, re: nighttime rituals - yes, if it works for kids! I have bad problems with the sleep thing, but in the times when anything works, long bath and warm vanilla milk...being a kid again...
Hi, Totalblue, and welcome! Hope you find some helpful tidbits here. Warm vanilla milk sounds good. I wonder if that would work for me?
Okay, so I'm back. It was a nice, quiet weekend, and I didn't turn the computer on once until late Sunday night! (Although I did play Oblivion on the PS3, so I guess it wasn't a total media break, but it was close enough, darn it!) It's Monday. And I just got back from grocery shopping and I have to take my daughter to her clarinet lesson in about ten minutes, so the chances of a new post showing up before lunch are rapidly dwindling! I will get something up this afternoon, though! Summer vacation gets to be so darn busy sometimes!
