Dear Blogger,

We need to talk. Sit down in that chair over there, the comfy one. I have something important to tell you.

Things have been crazy for me lately and I know that's not a good excuse for neglecting you, but you have to understand how much I've missed you. It may not seem like it, but I have. Unfortunately things aren't going to get any better for a while and I have to concentrate on writing my next novel, instead of spending all of my time with you.

This year things were great, weren't they? We spent a lot of time together. We held contests, we had great conversations with friends and I even gave up my vlogging virginity to you. Every moment of it was special.

Our time together was filled with stolen moments, mainly during my son's afternoon nap. But, Blogger, he stopped napping and I lost ten hours of productivity a week. I can't get away as much as I used to and unfortunately, our relationship suffered.

It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I have more demands on my time and fewer minutes to give away. So I was thinking that maybe we could take a break. Just for a while, Blogger, not forever. Maybe let me get through the holidays and then we can reevaluate?

Don't cry Blogger! There are plenty of fantastic writers who manage to make it all work in the time they have. How about the Teaching Authors? Or there's Elana Johnson - everyone loves her! Don't forget about my favorite writing buddies, Karly Kirkpatrick and G.P. Ching.

I promise this isn't forever - just for a couple months, maybe less. Sting says, "If you love someone, set them free." Let me go, Blogger, and I promise, I will come back!

Love,

Michelle
