A Writer’s Conundrum

I never thought it would happen.

Not when words have been my constant companion for longer than I can remember. Days and nights filled with rivers of cascading torrents; phrases sweetly rhyming; enigmatic timing; endless harmonies and synchronizations chiming; yet, I suppose every writer ultimately comes to a place where the tides are churning like a maelstrom and they have to decide whether to sink or swim.

You’ve probably noticed already.  It is by no means a lack of interest, I positively assure you; nevertheless, I have found my time extremely limited of late, or less than late and more like over the past few months, and have not been able to make my rounds to chit and chat as I prefer to.  As a result, I have tried to keep up simply by liking, but I simply do not like simply liking.  It feels less than sincere somehow, though it is by no means so.

You know how it is, don’t you? Life comes along at a ferocious pace sometimes and social media is forced into the back seat.  I have taken a few breaks this year already, but always seem to come back just as behind as before I went away and my writing, sadly, has felt the result.  In fact, I have done far less writing in 2017 than in many years; still, with my deadline (for book three of the Dark Fey Trilogy) looming, I am beginning to feel the pressure.

What to do? What to do? I have turned this conundrum over and over, wondering what to do and have, at long last, come to the inevitable, if regrettable, conclusion that I must put something on hold.  Although that hold may come at some cost, I feel, at the present moment, it is the right (or perhaps the Write) choice, if only so I might Write.

I have said all that to say this:  for the foreseeable future, or until Dark Fey Breaking Into The Light is ready for release, I shall be placing all Comments on Hold. It cannot be helped, though I’ve tried….and tried.

Please Please do not think my silence is indicative of disinterest.  Please Please know with Certainty that my Likes are Smiles for your writing, they are me saying OH I love this! How Wonderful! You’ve hit the nail on the head!  You’ve knocked it clean out of the park!  And You’ve got all dilithiam crystals performing at top efficiency!  Even if I don’t actually say the words, Please Please know how truly I mean it.

You make BooknVolume what it is and I shall not forget; yet until such time as I can share a proper natter with you, I shall be (oddly!) quiet.  I do hope you may understand and shall continue to enjoy what I post during this interlude of Hush.

  2. I’d say Lent is the perfect season to change your direction and take care of the greater priorities of your [and mine] life. Blessings on the journey ahead and may it at last lead you to your own Easter!

  7. Loads of support for doing what is needed and heeded. May the gossamer threads of magic weave their way through your thoughts. Blogs will always be here. I went away for 2 years when I took ill…and was humbly astounded that traffic and fellows were still here when I returned. Blessings Lady! 🙂

  8. I know exactly what you mean 😊. I often just “like” when I don’t have time or energy to comment, and I think many do the same on my site. That is perfectly fine! For me, pressing the like button means that I have read the post and appreciated it. It’s not always we can comment, and sometimes we simply don’t feel like it. We mustn’t let social media tire us entirely, nobody wants that for anyone! So don’t worry, Morgan, your site and poetry are gifts to us, and we love and appreciate these gifts. 💖💖💖💖. Don’t stress, and don’t let social media become something that tires you out, take care of yourself! 💖💖. Hug! 🌸🌸

    1. Thank You so much Trini 🙂 I know You understand 😉 It’s so helpful knowing that people really don’t put the stress on us like we needlessly tend to put on ourselves (if that makes sense). Im looking forward to being able to focus on my Fey for a while…hopefully! LOL

  10. If I am allowed to say something here, please be at peace with yourself during this conundrum. I have always believed that something wrote through you. Wait till it choses to write again. Any kind of search to find the source or trial to recreate the pasts glorious period or desperation to know how then and why not more, would help little. I hope I’m not over-saying anything here. May you find peace dear friend.

    1. Thank You my Friend 🙂 Yes Yes, you are very correct. The Silence always renews within me that Voice that Sings. It’s been muffled by too much of everything else right now, but even in limiting my social media chaos, the Voice has begun to carry its tune once again. It is currently focusing on the message being related in the story Dark Fey and my quest to complete the series in the most powerful and poignant way. I am So Thankful It Sings!!!
      May Peace reside at your doorstep as well Dear Sandeep 🙂
