I'm sitting next to the ocean as I write this*. The vacation setting doesn't make writing any easier. I heard once that writing is the practice sitting at a desk with a piece of paper, then opening you veins onto it. That's a little dramatic, but I understand the sentiment. 

I'm in a weird, transitional period in my life. All of the weird transitions are for good reasons, but it's still a lot to juggle. I have new, exhausting responsibilities that I'm overjoyed to have. What I'm trying to say is: I'm stepping back from the blog. 

I'm not quitting. I still have too many ideas. I have Epimemeologys on the docket and a Music Producer saga to finish. But I don't have the juice for daily or even weekly blogging right now. I hate to duck out while we're almost two-thirds through it, but I'd rather break my streak with my head held high than painfully and resentfully limp along for another five months. 

All this said, I'm only writing less, not reading less. You should all keep going. My day is always a little better with your words in it.

* "Next to" is relative. As the crow flies, I'm about a mile from the shore.
