Sorry folks, if some of your favorite bloggers have sent you over here for my part of a series of themed posts, and you found bupkis.

With the new job, my orientation schedule is chaotic, my sleep schedule is disrupted with the shifts I’ve been doing, and frankly, I’m just tired and stretched too thin. I’m overdue on several paid writing projects, editorial review on another book, and I haven’t posted on Star of Life in a coon’s age. I’ve been worried about a couple of friends, and it would seem the stress has finally caught up with me.

This blog has always been my stress relief and my creative outlet, and what sucks now is that the fatigue and stress has accumulated to the point that even my muse has deserted me. Matt, Marko, Tamara, LawDog and Labrat…sorry I dropped the ball, guys. There’s just nothing in the tank.

The job is fine, it’s just the transition and the training schedule that sucks.

I’m not shutting down the blog, or even taking a hiatus. But what I am going to do is knock out these paid projects this weekend, and take some time to recharge my batteries by spending some time with KatyBeth and an old friend I had thought was lost to me, someone who has miraculously reappeared in my life.

If anyone can bring back my muse, those two can. I’ll post something good for you guys on Monday.

    Hang in there AD. I know it’s tough — I’ve gone through a similar situation recently with a job change — but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I promise you. :) Best of luck and keep your chin up, my friend. You will get through this.< HREF="http://slinky9.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Slinky<>
