No Post Today

Well, obviously that's a lie, because you're reading this right now.

Seriously though, a combination of personal issues and a yet-unresolved crisis at work have made this a rough week for me, and I've had trouble getting more than a few paragraphs of reading done at a stretch, to say nothing of review-writing.  There have been (and will continue to be, for at least a few more weeks) unusual demands on my time, but the bigger issue is stress--both in the form of unexpected, unprepared-for responsibilities, and complicated emotions.  So, rather than try to force my way through something, I'm taking the day off.

I'm going to try to do some writing over the weekend; I've got a... not sad, but more "contemplative" story that's been kicking around my head for a while, and sometimes getting a story drafted can take the edge off, I find.  Even if that doesn't end up being what I need, I'm hoping the weekend gives me some time to get a little more ahead of the ball at work, and to get my head to a better place.  Reviews, or at least something, return Monday!

  3. I think everyone will be okay if you take a bit for personal reasons. Definitely work on getting rid of that stress, it's no good for you. I hope the writing helps! :D

  4. Take more than one day off if you need to. We all love these posts, but your well-being is much more important.

  6. It's true! A shadowy force is stalking ponyfic reviewers and striking them down one by one!

    Hope the writing goes well for you.

  7. Take care of yourself first. I'm actually surprised you can normally keep up this pace. If you need someone to look over that story, just come bug me, and then I'll publish something remarkably similar a few hours later.
