Okay.

So, it's been a week since my last post and I had several posts planned for the last week.  What I found though, was that I didn't like anything I'd written.  I like my ideas, but my execution was very poor.  I didn't feel excited about anything I wanted to post, because I knew that I could do it better.  I'm also currently fairly unhappy with my blog layout and design.  This has led to a long stream of procrastinating on writing new posts, and now I am behind.

Because of this, I have decided to take a further two weeks off of blogging.  I think this will help refresh me, and will give me time to come up with new ideas and to refine the ones I already have.  I realise three weeks is a pretty long time, and I would probably have just made it two, but I am going away for a week soon without internet.

Other updates:
-  The Retribution of Mara Dyer has still not arrived which is making me increasingly frustrated considering I preordered it and the longer it takes the more chance there is that I am going to see a spoiler.
-  I am officially finished high school as of last Tuesday, when I had my final exam, so I am free!  (Another reason why this blogging rut is so frustrating - I seriously have all the time in the world right now).

I apologise that I am going to be inactive in terms of posting for the next little while, but I hope that you can understand my reasons, and hopefully I will be better at blogging when I return!

  1. Take all the time you need, Sabrina!! My 2 months hiatus (due to final exams as well) definitely refreshed me. I'm really upset you haven't gotten your RoMD pre-order, what the hell?

    I am in the exact situation as you right now. So happy you finished your exams! I have all the time in the world but I end up being too lazy to write posts or read books. Weird huh.

    Looking forward to your return, wish you well lovely :D

    1. Thanks Kelly! I appreciate the support :) I'm glad to hear that taking a break works! Yeah, I'm very upset about it too. I'll blame Australia Post for being so slow.

      Me too! It's a great feeling. It is weird not having anything to do, yet being lazy.

      Thanks again! x

  2. Don't worry Sabrina! It's quite normal to feel that way, take all the time you need =) Oh, and congrats on being done with your exams ;)
    Also, this is why I hate pre-ordering so much. Most of the time (the 99%) the book doesn't arrive on time and the fear of being spoiled is real. I do love the Internet, but it is a dark place sometimes -__-
    I hope your time off blogging do you good ^^

  3. Ohh, take some time off Sabrina, but I'm a new follower of yours and I REALLY like your blog :)
    I'm having a hard time blogging myself, It takes a toll on me, I'm also participating in NaNoWriMo and starting school soon (Yes, I start in December, long story..)

    Hope you did great on your exams! Congrats on getting them over with. <3

  4. It's such a familiar feeling, not being happy with my posts and ending up procrastinating happens to me a lot.
    Take the time off you need, you deserve it, and otherwise you'll probably just be frustrated with everything you blog. And enjoy your week away :)

    Still no Retribution? Gosh, you must me so annoyed. It's worth the wait!

    Congrats on finishing high school!!! How does it feel?
