To anyone who still reads my wafflings and random musings, or to anyone who ever has - firstly: thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart; it means a great deal indeed.
Writing this blog over the past few years has had its ups and downs (I've even been censored on the odd occasion) but I can safely say that writing here has given me great pleasure, and I hope in some small way it has for others too.
However, as those of you who have stuck with me until now may have realized, my posts are getting less and less frequent, and in my opinion of late they have suffered in quality (not that I am claiming to be full of any high quality to begin with!) and have seemed quite ploddy, shaky and forced.
To be honest I cannot put my finger on a definitive reason for this; if I could I would have striven to rectify things by now. However I sadly feel that I am not as enamored with blogging as I once was.
I do think it is due to time constraint, to things going on within my own life that prevent me from paying attention to my blog, and that when I do have time life seems to have drained me of all enthusiasm for anything, let alone blogging.
It is not that I have no ideas or a lack of want for writing - my draft box is full of bits and pieces (probably all out of date and irrelevant now but there you go). It is just getting them on the digital page.
And I truly do not want to force it to the point I end up hating it so, for now at least I feel it is best to stand down where I am, and leave what has been posted for posterity.
I shall of course monitor things from time to time, and I am not at all saying I will never type and/or blog for fun again. I just feel that a period of respite and reflection, and a bit of regrouping may be in order.
However I shall endeavor at some point to return to this little blog because, as I say by and large I have loved creating it, writing on it, posting on it and maintaining it.
I do not know when I shall post again - be it a matter of days, weeks, months or years, but I shall do so.
So for now, dear people of the blog-o-sphere, I thank you again for your time and any attention at all you have paid to my blog, and I shall leave you with the words of the great William Hartnell as The First Doctor, as he once bid quite a powerful farewell:
One day, I shall come back.
Yes, I shall come back.
Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.
