I've posted an entry everyday for a long time.

But I find that very hard to do at the moment.

I used to be a happy woman, just writing out my stories.

But something bad happened and that joy left me.

I cannot rise from the ashes.

In these last days, I've tried and tried.

So I shall stay that dead woman buried in the sand.

I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days if I go away now.

I just need to go away now.

My friends, carry on with your wonderful short stories, poetry and passionate rants.

I'll gradually catch up with all your posts when I return early next week.

That's awhile for someone who's blogged everyday.

And then I'll see how I feel.

I will return very shortly. I just need to go away for now.

Wait for me.
