There’s no way around it, I have to buckle down which means, I’m going to be taking a break from the blogosphere. I’ll be around until tomorrow in case you have questions that need answers, and I’ll leave this post open so you can comment if you like or talk to each other.
The summer, the garden, the election, the girlchild, and most of all Book Six are sucking up all my time, and I’d rather step away for six weeks or so than dribble my way to oblivion. How about this: the next time you see a post from me here, it will be to say I’ve finished Book Six.
In the meantime, in the spirit of democracy:

I read you via a reader, so no matter when your next post is up I will be reading it, whether it be next week or in six weeks time!
I am excited to hear that you are so close to finishing Book 6, so while I will miss reading your posts, I am happy to indulge you for a while so that you can do what you need to do!
We’ll miss you – that post on story-aholics was brilliant – but Book Six is very important too and we’re all looking forward to it.I wish you satisfaction in that and all your other endeavours.
Six weeks go by very fast for me. See you when book six is finished – yay!
While your posting will certainly be missed, you gotta finish Book Six! Hop to it, and we’ll see you when you’re done.
6 weeks! hehe kidding, do what ya gotta do, though I’m curious ta see if ya could stay away that long. Maybe try and get a wee vacation in there somewheres too!
Have fun typing, and taking care of all other life things. I’ll keep an eye out for your next post.
“A great idea” as in “SHOO, you!” and go do the most important priorities, and come back with news of a BOOK.
You give us much good stuff here, and it would be selfish (and, in the long, bookless run of things, self-defeating) if we acted like having you here to socialize with was the one inviolate priority you could not let go for a bit.
XOXOXOXO, r
By the time you get back, I’ll be a mother-in-law and very much relieved the wedding is over!
Go do what you have to do. Six week’s really isn’t that long. On a side note: please don’t worry about the wiki. All is well there, too.
I will miss checking in for new content, but for Book Six, I can do just about anything. I can’t wait!
