36-Hour Hiatus

In becoming so caught up in the frenzy of addictive-surfing through the latest traffic-generating sites (i.e., BlogClicker, BlogExplosion, and BlogAzoo), I've lost sight of what is really important about my work as a legitimate writer, photographer and artist.     In the sprint to "drive-more-traffic" to [our] sites, [we've] or, I should say, "I" -- as I would not want to assume to speak for anyone else without knowing their true, underlying motives -- have traded some of my integrity and principles for things I thought might have a broader appeal to the surfing masses.     This is not only cheating those who might visit my site, but is also denigrating the quality of my work in the process.

And, so it is that I am instituting a self-imposed hiatus beginning immediately upon publication of this entry.     For the next thirty-six hours (at least), I will not turn on the desktop or the laptop.     I will pick up a book (or two) and read.     I will listen to classical music.     I may even pack an overnight bag and check into a hotel for a change of scenery.     No television, no newspapers, no magazines, no radio, no cell phone . . . just an influx of sensory renewal.     Scented candles, soft music, interesting books, delectable foods, perhaps a glass a wine, a jacuzzi soak, lavender-misted pillows and no alarm.

If this mini-vacation from technological overload doesn't reawaken my comatose Muse, I may be forced to take more drastic measures to jumpstart the creative flow once more.     But, let's first give this hiatus a chance for renewal of the body, mind and spirit.

This Author's Profile

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
