After a lot of thought, I have decided to go on a blogging hiatus effective immediately and going through July. I know it’s a long time, but I think it will be good for me. In my 2+ years of blogging here I’ve never been on hiatus, and I have become a bit burned out on it. But my writing otherwise is slowly thriving, and there are things in my everyday life I am trying to figure out. The latter is nothing dramatic, but just the same, I think it’ll be good for me to not have to feel like I have blogging hanging over my head, because lately I’ve had thoughts like, Oh, I guess I ought to write at least one post this week.
I do intend to come back to blogging, and I’m hoping I will feel rejuvenated in August. And I’m definitely not falling off the face of the planet; you’ll still see me on Twitter, Goodreads, Tumblr, Pinterest, and commenting on your blog a week after your post, ha. (Except there are some I actually manage to read the day of. Don’t ask me to explain my methods because I don’t understand them either.)
So until next time…
COME BACK SOON!
Taking a hiatus every now and then is a good thing 🙂 enjoy your break!
Enjoy the break!
Wow, I can’t believe this is only your first hiatus! I really believe that blogging shouldn’t take precedence over really important things IRL, I hope you make progress in your writing and get some much-deserved thinking/”me” time. I’ll miss your lovely posts! 🙂
I’ve just taken a two-month break as well (returning in July) and it was definitely the right decision for me. I was burned out beyond belief and I really needed to focus on taking care of my anxiety and depression. Hope you can figure everything out and looking forward to reading your stuff again in August!
I’m excited for you to be writing!!! good luck 🙂
Have a very enjoyable break! It seems like more and more bloggers are taking the opportunity to get away from the blog for a bit and that’s great! You’ll feel more rejuvenated when you return. I was glad to see your Star Trek TNG post on tumblr though! 🙂
*hugs* I’ll be missing you, Jo!
Enjoy your relaxing time, I can totally understand – I feel so behind lately and it is not a good feeling!

Enjoy your break, Amy! Take care! ♥
oh I haven’t been around so long I didn’t realize you were on hiatus..I have been trying to ask if you mind that I got a bit of inspiration from you on your list of blog names you considered and went with the Dr. Who quote for my new blog..since I love that show. I hope you don’t mind and I certainly want to credit you with the idea.
Go for it! 🙂
*facepalm* I am so late to this. I haven’t been doing much on the blogosphere these days either, but I hope this hiatus helps you get back onto your feet, Amy! So far hiatuses have always worked out well for me. 😀 Looking forward to your return in August~!
