Hiatus

December 1, 2009

Well, loyal readers, it has been almost two years since I started writing this blog.

Much has happened in my life during that time.

I lost my mom.   Lost my niece.   Moved twice.   Lost pets.   Went through a catastrophic financial meltdown.   Was diagnosed with a serious condition.

Struggled with the dating world and all that goes with it.   Tried to come to grips with what I want, and have always really hoped to find.

Some of us are given certain gifts in this life.   Others get completely different ones.   Likewise, the cross each of us bear is always different from that of our neighbor.

Some people have the happy family, long-lasting marriage… but they’re dirt poor until the day they die.   Someone else manages to acquire wealth beyond the wildest dream… but has four failed marriages, kids that hate and a dog that growls with distrust.

I know which scenario I’d chose, given the choice.   And it doesn’t involve disgruntled dogs.

My situation is neither of these, but I have come to accept that maybe the happy marriage is not my destiny.

Having said that, I have a good life and much that I am grateful for.

But I think the time has come to focus on other things.   Right now, I don’t want to write about spanking.   Or even think about spanking.   It’s just… not happening for me.

In many ways, I’m weary.   So I’m going to take a hiatus.   I have enough thoughts written and saved in drafts that I can post once a week for a few months; most of you won’t even know I’m gone.

Some drafts were written recently but  many are well over a year old, so if you notice a lack of continuity or strange time lines, you know why.

I know myself well enough to know, spanking always is a part of me, no matter how hard I’ve tried to suppress it.   So I won’t be gone forever.

But Cydni– she needs privacy.   I’ve been open here– too much at times.   I feel the need to shelter myself.

Originally, I intended this blog to be about my fiction writing– not about my deepest fears and desires.   I’ve veered off course, fiction-wise, for sometime now.   When I come back, maybe I’ll let the characters speak, if I can figure out how to do that.

After all, it is said that there is usually something of an author to be found within her creations.

To everyone who has been a loyal reader– thank you.

Best wishes for a healthy, happy new year.

Cydni

    You have a very mature attitude to accept the fact that a happy marriage may not be in the cards for you, but you still have a good life and a lot to be grateful for. Better to be in a good life single than in an unhappy marriage.

    That being said, I hope you don’t close yourself off from future experiences. You never what might happen when you least expect it. Maybe someday you’ll find the right guy for a happy marriage and maybe he’ll even want to spank you.

    Anyway, want to wish you good luck on your hiatus and keep writing your fiction. And I hope you didn’t mind my comments.

    Hey FD,

    your comments are always appreciated!
    Thanks for the support– I appreciate it. You are right when you say one never knows what is around the corner. Life is an adventure, and although I’d rather live it with someone special, it’s pretty darn good as it is!
    It’s all about attitude, right? I’ve been in an unhappy marriage, and I’ll chose single life anytime over re-living that experience.
    Take care!
