It's time for SouthCon to go on hiatus for a little while. There are a number of reasons.

First of all, I typically spend a while each November devoting my free time to editing the past year's home videos and compiling them in one fairly brief DVD for distribution among the family. This requires taking a break from blogging, which I've done every November since I started blogging.

I also think I ought to take a break because I'm just not inspired to write anything lately. Since I was a kid, writing for my own amusement has been my hobby... and, like every hobby, my interest waxes and wanes. If I'm not interested in writing at the moment, why force it? I mean, honestly, all I can come up with lately is a series of lame one-liners ... like, for instance, are they sure that that's Shia LeBeouf's mugshot and not his junior year class picture?

Also, I've been in a bit of a funk lately. Nothing major; just the same kind of funk that everyone goes through from time to time. I've learned two things about being in a funk: one, funks pass. Two, trying to force myself to blog while I'm feeling kinda blah isn't a good idea. I might end up writing something that I just want to take down later.

Anyway, I'll be back, and probably sooner rather than later. Meanwhile, I encourage you to read any of the fine blogs you'll find blogrolled to the right.
