I’ve been really quite poorly recently.

Despite not leaving the house, I somehow managed to come down with some kind of virus (not COVID-19) that absolutely wiped me out and kept me bedridden for a good few days.

As such, I haven’t been able to do much (okay, ANY) writing.

I’ve been worrying about it because you folks know that I post on this blog twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays) and without meaning to blow my own trumpet, I’m quite proud of the fact that I maintain that regular blogging schedule.

But life happens, illness happens, and sometimes things slip.

I’m still quite poorly, but nowhere near as bad as I was, so I opened up my blog and had a look at a few of my unfinished drafts so I could pick one to finish and schedule for posting.

However, I quickly realised that my still-recovering body just doesn’t have the reserves to give me the focus to write anything of substance; nothing that my strict inner critic would allow me to post, anyway!

So, as much as it pains me to hit the pause button, it would pain me more to try to push through the exhaustion to force out some crappy writing with which neither you nor I would be happy.

I’m going to let myself rest.

With that being said, I don’t have anything else for you today!

Normal service should resume shortly, but in the meantime, feel free to check out my previous posts and leave me some comments for my return!

Thanks for sticking with me!
