You know, I have not posted since June 28. No good reason for it either. I preach and practice that you should post on a frequency that does not keep your readers guessing. Being predictable is important. Oh, and writing something worth reading probably ought to be a consideration as well.
I wish I could say that I was on some European cruise. But I wasn't. I am busy, and I at first did not have time to write. And then I did not write and the world did not stop. I don't know if I am going to stop blogging, but you know, I don't enjoy this as much any more.
I am tired and I don't know what I want. I will not write tomorrow, and I may write Monday. Hope your Independence Day celebration was a blast – that you were able to use high-powered explosives to commemorate the US defeating the British 231 years ago.
About Leesa
LeesaI started blogging to improve my writing; I really did. Painters don't start with masterpieces – they start on scraps of paper, and even when planning a great work, they do many other drawings in preparation. I think writing is the same. You just don't start and finish a novel by merrily typing into the computer; you experiment. Blogging is sort of like a writer's doodling. So this is my scratch pad of sorts. This is less than scraps of paper actually, just 1s and 0s on your computer screen.

Notes on this Blog
Some random notes about this blog:
1. Schedule. I started writing this blog in 1995, and over the past few years, I have tried to write every workday. Then in the summer of 2008, I quit writing for a month or so. Now I try writing three times per week. The quality waxes and wanes. Sorry about that.
2. Leesa's Mailbag. I am trying a new weekly/monthly/semi-annual blog entry called "Leesa's Mailbag". Over the last few years, people have emailed me with questions, and I have answered them on an individual basis. Now, I think I will answer them on a blog entry. Perhaps Friday. Not sure I will get enough questions to do this often, but I will try to answer questions. Sort of an Ann Landers with attitude. Just write to the email address below.
3. My Stories. Yeah, I have a few erotic stories here. I know, they are not all that good, but they were fun to write. Don't read them if this offends you (and they represent less than 1% of the content here). These stories have elements of truth and fantasy, some more true than others. Complain about something that is a bit more substantive if you must complain. I have lots of faults.
4. Layout. My layout is clean and simple. You can tell me it is boring, and you would be right. I just don't want pink flowers and weird colors to get in the way of my words. I have customized my drop-down menus under "Quick Links" and "Blog Roll" so I had to use a little HTML.
Finally, there are loads of better bloggers here. If you like what you read, thanks. If you don't, thanks for dropping by (and I mean this). A few people who comment on my work add immensely to the experience.

Gee, letting life interfere with Blogging? Where are your priorities girl???
Never apologize for letting life take a priority *S*S*S*S*
I fully understand, sometimes we do best at listening, and not speaking (or writing).
And under todays vernacular of post 9-11 and threats blah blah blah, it would be modified to say ...
"...that you were able to use weapons of mass destruction to commemorate the US defeating the British, our staunch ally in the war on terror and the elimination of fear in our world 231 years ago."
sermon off LOL
We all need a hiatus once in a while. I’ve thought about quitting many times. Come back when you feel the writer’s bug. We’ll still be here waiting for you.
Get the rest you need, my friend. I selfishly hope you don't give up blogging because I'd miss you. I like my little shots of Leesa.
Be good to yourself and do whatever it takes.
Cheers,
Ian
I have to agree with everyone else. Take a break, as long as you need, then see if the desire to write here returns.
I have currently been on that off-on blogging kick. Hell I've been on it for months, because I just feel like I won't top anything I ever did that attracted anyone to read the thing in the first place. However, I keep plugging away at it randomly hoping to strike gold. It's what I do.
It's ok, It happens to the best of us. Sometimes you just can't write. Don't sweat it so much.
The U.S. did not defeat the British 231 years ago.
Maybe you should take a vacation... Then come back and tell us all about it.
