Well, my dears, I think I'm done. Blogging, that is. I don't want to be all melodramatic, but I just don't feel like it any more.
I used to love blogging - writing you little stories a few times a week, or poking around in the mess of my pretty normal psyche. It used to be the priority. Not "a" priority, "the."
There's no good reason why it's not, just that when I think about blogging, I think "I should blog" not, "Man, I've got to blog what I jotted down earlier."
890 posts - that's what I've put up here over the past 5 years. Not all gold, not by a long shot, but maybe a few nuggets along the way. It was a lot of larfs and tears and vitriol and love and I'm glad I've got the record of it. It's a good long run of anything.
My ennui has been a long time coming, and I suppose I could just let it go indefinitely, but I like a little more ceremony. So maybe I'll post again sometime. Maybe something will happen and I'll need a week of posts to chew it over. Maybe I'll become some kind of Tweet demon. I don't really know, but I do know that there's no point in posting if you don't have the urge.
Huh. This feels a bit like a bad break up. I don't really want to blog anymore, but it hurts to say it's done too, yknow?
So not good bye, but later.

...can we still be friends?
I had a feeling you were breaking up with me... Uh... The blog. I'll miss you, either way. I just love your writing. So long, fair Megan!
Awwww, you guys. It's been a sad night and day, actually, to finally make that call. I feel a little rudderless.
Maybe I'll reinvent myself elsewhere, maybe I'll come back in a while. You'll definitely know about it if I do!
Better to break up than to pretend there is still a blogging relationship going on with your readers.
Hello, Elgin Street Irregulars!!??
Dear Anonymous, I beg your pardon, but we never promised you a rose garden...
YOU taught ME how to blog! Not an easy decision, but it DOES leave time for other stuff and it can be nice to hold secrets in after letting so many out for so long. Enjoy the privacy and internal dialogue! XX Nico
Oh! That makes me a bit teary! Privacy and internal dialogue are a good way of putting it, and I think I will. xx
All the best with other projects.
Thanks Milan!
It's a weird space out here in blogoland. I've no idea now how I first came across your missives but it's been a curious treat. What a toughie you are! What a doofus! What a hopeless softie! What a crank! What a spicy temptress! Mostly though, an unrelenting explorer of your psyche and soul with no compunction about revealing to your friends, neighbours and all of us complete strangers your discoveries, your misgivings, and your triumphs. We should all be so brave.
Bless you now, Megan.
That was an awesome sendoff, Silkpurse, and I thank you for it.
So, will you be taking up crocheting to fill the time? Bizou...
i'm glad you're taking a break, or changing the way you spend time writing. to me this means you're happy, maybe even content, and that is a very good thing indeed.
congratulations, both on becoming an excellent blogger and on deciding to quit when you'd had enough.

What ever it is that you decide to do I hope that you find success. In fact, I hope you find as much success as you did with your blog. It has been a pleasure and I hope that you will from time to time keep us updated on your new endeavors.
Some people think that online casino do not require practice because the poker is done through the computer and skill is not required.
Thanks Kim - I should actually be popping up elsewhere on the internet in short order!
