It's not you, it's me

It’s about time I posted something isn’t it? The thing is, I haven’t felt like blogging much lately. This has been going on for a few months now, which is weird because I used to love writing posts and blogged nearly every day. I haven’t been reading other people’s blogs either. Sorry. I guess I’ve just lost interest in the whole thing.

So I guess this is goodbye. For a while at least. If the urge returns, which I suspect it will, I’ll be back. Here or somewhere new. Who knows? Not me.

For now though, please do have a squiz at the archives. Here are some of the posts I most enjoyed writing.

Pigeon plot

Graphic Proposal

Allegory of allegories

Bubble thought

Google's Bday

Proper way

Sprinkles universe

Office party

Baby Jesus is force-feeding me beanburgers

Crumblies of today

Ooh ah kid knocky stay thin

Toilet art

Mad as a fish

If you’ve been a regular visitor, I really can’t thank you enough. It’s been ace. I’ve loved writing on here and seeing the stats rise, it’s done wonders for my confidence in my writing. Perhaps that’s why I don’t feel like doing it anymore. Maybe I’ve got what I came for. I don’t know. But it’s been massive fun, so ta.

I hope you’ll stay in touch, feel free to email or Facebook me. I am still alive. Honest. In fact my life has been enhanced somewhat lately with the advent of sugar-free Wether's Originals. Oh yeah, and I'm actually making progress with the novel. It's about time really. I guess when it's finished, that's when I'll be back.

Adios y muchos gracias Ms Buckley.
Shame to see you've given up the ghost, but you've been a good read. Make sure you keep up the hard work on the novel and I look forward to reading it.
Good luck.

Does this mean you don't want any more shopping lists? Because I picked one up for you yesterday. It's in the back pocket of my jeans as I type.

Good God, why??? I was popping in to say I read your Libya piece in Metro the other day and now I'd like to go.

Suzie said...

Until we read you again! Ta!

Roland Hulme said...

Oh, great. I finally realise you have a blog and you're on hiatus. It's hard not to take this personally!!!

Although I know what it's like - when you write every day for a living, it's tough to put your mind to blogging.

I think it comes and goes, this fascination with blogging. I guess it's nice that you can take it or leave it though, without any strings. Although some people actually get quite cross if you're absent for long. But what's the point in doing it if it's no fun? No point. Enjoy not blogging!
