Giving up

Tonight Doc issued me a challenge. See, Doc knows me well. Probably better than anyone else...including The Jonnie and K-splimb, even. And he knows that when I need to discipline myself, the best way is to go cold-turkey. I'm kind of an all-or-nothing girl. And with blogging, it's typically "all". I love reading blogs. I'm a blog stalker. I read them and I write in this one and I even leave comments on the blogs I read (what a concept!)

But I have a hard time balancing blogging and writing my book. And the fact is, my goal is to finish the first draft in the next 3 weeks because my one-year sabbatical from flying ends March 2nd and then I'm back at it.

So Doc challenged me to give up blogging in all it's forms through the end of the month. His idea has merit...and after consideration I have decided to accept his challenge. So starting now until I finish the first draft, I am not going to read others (sob!), comment (sigh) nor write in my own blog (waaaah!)

This is going to be painful. But like Doc said, it's like I'm giving birth...this is labor. It should hurt a little. But there's a reward at the end too.

So, even though I'm running the risk of losing all three of my readers, I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be back as soon as I've completed round one, and I hope you're still here cheering for me when I cross the finish line. And to those of you who have blogs...I'm gonna miss ya!

Happy February and especially have a great Valentines Day this week! I'll be thinking about ya!
