This doesn't really constitute a diary but I wanted to bring people up to date.
With the holidays looming, I feel a need to step away, take some time off, and perhaps start writing fiction again. I'm a little burned out with writing and research for DKos--I've been here over 6 years now. Time to recharge and get my bearings again.Hope to be back around February, with my batteries recharged and with a passion for writing diaries again--right now, I don't feel that emotional involvement.
Have a happy holiday, whatever your faith or lack thereof. (I'll admit to trying to ad a Festivus pole to the front lawn. just to confuse the neighbors, to go with our msotly pagan themed decorations, which still have to be put up. Yes, we're that behind this year).
