Oh no!! I'll miss you dearly! I've thoroughly enjoyed your posts, even when I don't have time to leave a comment. :( But I understand about blogs getting in the way of writing and life. Mine can sometimes take over a bit too much... :) Good luck with your novel, and looking forward to when you come back! :)

I do hope you'll still be around the blogosphere, though. :)

Egad! What will I do without your witty posts to keep me entertained?!

I want to wish you luck with your novel and your job. If you need anything, now that I am an email away!

Thanks for all your encouragement and for blessing me with your presence...there is no need to thank me, although I appreciate it.

If you ever want to get together, you know how to find me.

Oh, sadness... :-( We'll miss you, but I understand. The important thing is to write, and to take care of the people you love. Are you leaving the blogosphere permanently, or will you still be blurking about?

Good luck with your novel!!! I look forward to seeing it in stores someday.

Best of luck.. I'll miss you, but totally understand.. It's a tough balance.

Nooo! How very sad!

I do understand. Blogging can suck up a lot of time. But I will miss your posts and your comments. Good luck with the novel -- and the job! -- and let me know when you're back!

Oh no! You were one of my most loyal readers and I love your blog!

I totally understand, though. You gotta get that novel written.

At least throw us a facebook status update every now and again (or an email) so we know how it's going.

Oh, I'll miss you! I'll keep you in my google reader in case you ever decide to post anything quick.

Totally understand! And it's great you have your priorities straight!

Get that novel written, and thank you for your friendship, support, and good cheer! Keep in touch, and holler when you have a question about that agent query or offer (or just to say hi)!.

Hi Susan,

Sorry to hear you're leaving -- but I understand completely! If I blogged regularly, I know I wouldn't get anything written at all!

Good luck with your novel -- I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for it. Please let us all know when it's finished and ready to go!

*Hugs*

Oh my goodness, Susan! I'm a little (OK, a lot!) verklempt! What am I going to do without your wonderful posts and lovely comments?!

I will definitely be keeping you in my blog reader as one of the blogs I follow ... just in case you decide to post an update here and there!

I completely understand, and wish you all the best of luck. And, I want to thank you for being one of my very first 'followers' after I started my blog this past year ... it means a lot to me that you 'believed' in me and my little blog.

Take care and do post updates every once in a while if you get a chance ... just so we know that all is going well with your family, job, and novel! You have become a dear blogging friend, and I wish you all the best!!!

OHHHHH! NOOOOO! but I understand (she says with a pout)

Count on me to be back to visit your side of blogland when you're ready to come back!

Much luck to you!

Christy

I'll miss you, but I totally understand. It's a delicate balance. Gotta keep those priorities straight, and you gotta write, girl! Best of luck in all you do! Send us a shout, when good things are about!

Perhaps I'll see you on the published side some day.

I wish you well and I'll miss reading your blog, but I understand. Can't wait to read your book!

AH! I will miss you terribly. I have loved your in depth interviews, and your positive attitude. But I understand entirely that family and work comes first--blogging is extra, and has every right to be culled first.

But we will all miss you! God bless, and good luck with your ms.!

I'll miss you too! I do hope you'll manage, somehow, to keep us updated on the progress of your novel.

Oh wow! I'll miss you, but I totally understand. This blogging is TIME-consuming and sometimes I feel conflicted about it. I'm sure if I were in your shoes I'd make the same decision. Dive into that novel, and we'll see you on the published side.

I totally understand where you're coming from, but I will miss you!

Blogging is a huge time suck.

I look forward to reading your book once you're published!

I'm sorry to hear it. I find my blog vital to my process, both creatively and for marketing purposes. I'm sorry you didn't feel the same way -- it made a lot of people's lives more enjoyable on a daily basis.

Best of luck.

Sorry to hear this, but understand the time constraints!! Please be sure to let us know when you come back to the blog world. Good luck to you!!! I'll miss reading your blog!

Oh Gottawrite Girl, I'll miss you very much. But you're doing the right thing. Focus on the writing, everything else will fall into place.

Thanks for the great blogging and also for the shout out. Good luck! :)

Will miss you!

Good luck to you. Let us know when the novel is out.

Aw, so sad to see you go but I understand completely. I regularly have the same debate with myself and know that blogging takes up more of my time than it should which is why I've cut back quite a lot. I'll really miss your posts, Susan but i hope we'll be able to stay in touch via Facebook!

Take care and all the very best of luck for everything!

We'll be waiting for you! Best of luck with the novel!!!!!!

You're doing the right thing. Writing is a lot of work and needs focus. Best of luck. I look forward to seeing it in bookstores someday.

I'm late to this, but good bye for now and GOOD LUCK with your novel. I know, blogs can be a time suck. Come back and let us know what you're up to every now and again!
