Sorry chaps and chappesses, but I think I'm going to have to stop dithering and make the break... yup, I'm dropping out now rather than taking it all the way to the wire and then letting you all down. *sigh*
It's not so much a missing muse as sheer bloody knackeredness! (I think. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.) I started back at work a couple of weeks ago, and even though I've adjusted back to the shift working and so on, I am so damn tired when I get home that writing is just... no. It's all I can do to keep up with what's afoot on lj, never mind actually doing summat, you know, creative!
On the good side - I take early retirement at the end of the year (working on the principle of 'jump before you're pushed *g*) so for next year's Big Bang... hey, I should be well up for that!
Especially as I'm determined to keep pecking away at the two stories I've got started in the meantime, so by next year I may even have some idea of where they're going.
I'm so sorry, folks - but what with the thyroid, and a numb mouth from the wisdom tooth paralysing a nerve, and not one but two hospital visits in the offing... I just can't settle to writing anything - not even the lads.
Feel free to burn me in effigy at the next pool party and hopefully I'll be back all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed next year...
Ok... am I the first? Bowing out comment - waah!
