Hanging up the Hat

Hello, everyone. Hope you are all doing well. Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the abrupt hiatus, but the truth is...I needed some time to "soul search", if you will. My last 'See you Around' post was a smidge too soon, I will admit, but now I know for certain: I think it's time to throw in the towel. These past few months have kept me on my toes (same for most of you, I'm sure), but it was during this time that I realized I had a bit too much on my plate to balance as the Winds of Fate blew and basically crashed me into the Rocks of Reality. I'm getting older. I have more responsibilities to attend to. My free time is growing more limited. But most importantly...that passion, that drive that kept me pushing for as long as I could...it has more or less fizzled out.

It takes some courage for me to write this, courage that I did not have until now. My creative muse has gotten tired of trying to twist and shape my nights into brainstorming sessions that stretch into the wee hours of the morning. She's now pulling me into other directions, and while I don't know what will come of it, I know that she'll bring as much fire there as she has here. Who knows? Maybe in due time I will return and things will go back to where they were. But for now I say: Thank You. Thank you for your favorites, your comments, even just reading what I put out meant the world to me. I wouldn't have learned the things I learned had I not gone on this journey and discovered a part of myself that wouldn't have ever seen the light of day under normal circumstances. So again, thank you. I wish you all the best, and hope you keep moving forward.
