You guys will be fine with Kiri and Rad if there are any problems - which there haven't been any in the last year and more, but hey. It's just - I feel like I'm dragging you guys down and raining on everyone's parade with my issues lately, particularly about anonymous stuff and writing about sex. Like you guys want to have fun but I keep spoiling it. Also, on my end, I'm getting triggered a fair bit. And maybe it's just the vacation, I don't know. But I'm feeling very Seth-like. Which may be good for the story, and thus I do think it is a good overall. But being there - it's not pleasant in and of itself. It's necessary. On the other end is the beautiful shining joy of creation. But still - I'm not happy and not a good person to be around right now. I will post if I get 10.08 done and published while I'm taking a break, but yeah. Which hey - that's very possible, because I feel like I'm heading deep into Seth's consciousness. I'll be back before my birthday. I love you guys.

Understandable if you need a break. Sometimes it's good to pull back and let wounds heal. It sounds like recently some older ones have been prodded a bit. So take care of yourself, and just be sure to come back for your birthday thread.

I don't think you're dragging anyone down, but if you need this break you'd better take it! Definitely do what you need to take care of yourself...we'll be fine. But be sure to come back! We'll miss you lots!

I agree. You're not dragging anyone down, but if you're feeling bogged down and overwhelmed, it's not a bad idea to step back and give yourself a little time to revitalize. Your health and happiness come first; take care of yourself, and we'll still be here whenever you feel like making a comeback. Sorry about the triggering

Breaks are good. Really good. I just took one for a week myself, plus, I managed to get out of Moosetown for a long weekend. Civilization! It helped me anyway. Take care Stacy.

Sometimes a break is the right thing to do. I hope you feel better soon.

I'd argue that you tend to raise spirits rather than drag them down, but some time to focus on yourself is always necessary. Keep safe, feel better and be strong. Missing your presence in advance!

Aww, thanks! And LOL - I'm so far from taking a break that I've been sitting here the last two nights obsessively refreshing the warm fuzzies blog. I am rescinding the break. I feel tons better after going back to work, anyway - omg, do you even know how nice that is? Going from a job that nearly drove me insane (John said he let me quit because he was worried I was headed for a psychotic break) and left scars on my arm to one where going back after a vacation feels like going back home and people hug me and tell me I was missed. Muzegoddess, if you're here - I so feel you on the job thing. *hugs* So I'm doing better personally, and socially with you guys----OMG. Look at that blog. Look at it. How can I ever think that you all hate me? How can I ever think that you guys would judge me? You are all beautiful people, and I don't think I could ever really take a break from you guys. OH! Guess what? There was a spammer earlier! I got to delete the spam and ban the spambot! Woo, administrative action!

Oh, we warrant a spambot! Go you flexing your power. Also... The warm fuzzies has been really good. I've even been enjoying reading over all the nice comments left for others. This is a nice way to start the holiday. *happy sigh*

This is a nice way to start the holiday. *happy sigh* Oh, reading all the comments is great - and dude, of course I'm obsessively refreshing to read all of them. I've seriously been on the point of crying a couple of times today because of how loving all of you are to everyone - including people who haven't joined us yet and people who haven't posted much yet. Do notice the yet.

See, Stacy, all you really needed were some warm fuzzies! And LOL, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one reading ALL the comments! I keep refreshing it, and going, "Ooh, I love that about her too! And that! And that!!!" I'm so full of cheese tonight it's ridiculous, lol! Great job on keeping us spam free!

Cheese is good! I'm off to go reading it after I've caught up here. I'm so happy you're feeling better Stacy.

Yay! I'm happy you're feeling better too, Stacy. And the warm fuzzies are soooo sweet! I've been reading all of them too, and it just reinforces my conviction that this is a great forum!

Okay.
Maybe I do need to take a bit of a break.
This is fun - my neurochemicals are all "HIDE THE BLOG! DO IT DO IT!" and the mental block I installed against that action last time is all "No! Most of the readers would have no clue why it was hidden and then they wouldn't come back and you would lose readers!"
I'll calm down. And then I think we need to talk this out. I'll make a thread on here or well - maybe a post on LJ would be better because it is really personal, I don't know.
If you're curious - it goes back to the same reason why I started this thread. My whole issues thing and those issues getting triggered in our little community. And they just got pretty freaking severely triggered.
So maybe we do need to have a discussion. Not now though - still too emotional.
Also, Lunar - I'm sorry I let my neurochemicals have their way with your blog. You can delete the comment if you want. And I will now install a mental block against doing that again.
Ah, mistakes. They're how I learn impulse control.
Best argument ever against hiding the blog again - someone's reading through Valley right now, according to my stats page.

I will take the comment down. I'm sorry. I feel like a horrendously horrible and completely unthinking person. I wish you would feel comfortable talking to me directly though. I won't send you a PM because I know it makes you anxious, so if you want to talk, even if you want to say "screw you," please do.
It is only meant to be a discussion about fiction, and nothing more. Nothing is your fault, and you need to know that.
