Reevaluating priorities...

[snapefan520]

I've been having an internal battle for several weeks, and it pretty much all came to a head within the past three days.  I've been spending far too much time on social media, and too little time with my kids and getting things done around the house.  Sometimes it just takes getting some signs to actually realise it, though.  One sign was the death

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. I've lost two cousins to drugs, and I know how angry and confused and sorrowful the waste of it all will make you.

I'm also sad that you feel that way about writing, but you can express your creativity in many ways that will help you reconnect with your Muse. They are there to help us create, for in creation we grow and perfect ourselves. All the best, and if I can be of any help, please let me know.

And when you come back, we'll be here.

Thank you, Teddy.

I know I love writing too much to give it up totally, but I do think I need a bit of break to deal with everything in my life right now.

And although my muse seems to be AWOL at the moment, I have been inspired with my photography. Maybe that will get me through the rough patch. We'll see...

I am doing the promptfest, so maybe that will help me get back on track a bit.

I'm sorry about your friend. *hugs*

I wish you the best of luck with your RL time... and I'll still be here waiting for your next brilliant fic when you return. :)

Thanks, Jeni.

RL really stinks at the moment, and now I have some health concerns thrown into the mix.

Hopefully after taking a couple of weeks off and spending more time with my kids, I can come back refreshed and get back into gear.

I will finish ACIC, it just may be a bit slower until I've batted the demons away for good, lol.
