vickie unplugged

dear readers,

i’ll be offline for the next little while, and wanted you to know that this blog will also be on hiatus for a bit.

i’m going away and have decided not to bring my laptop with me – initially, i thought i’d cart it along, but i’ve come to realize that, though i spend waaaaaaay too much time at my computer, very little of what i actually do during that time is productive. so, i’m taking a break, a retreat of sorts, in a bid to clear my head and give myself room to breathe.

instead, i’m bringing pens and a sketchbook and will be writing/drawing/journaling old-school style – that’s right, by hand. with ink. on paper. when i get back, i might turn some of that writing into blog entries, but i suppose it depends on what i write.

despite what i suspect will be some intense withdrawal symptoms, i’m going to try to refrain from daily email checks (maybe every other day) and, unless i have something amazing or hilarious or über-brief that i feel i absolutely must share immediately, i probably won’t be updating this blog at all while i’m unplugged. i might, because i know quitting anything cold-turkey can be tough and i’m not yet sure of the firmness of my own resolve, but i’m hanging a “gone fishing” sign up for the time being.

back soon,
vickie
