Sorry, missed that.

I think we get "bitchy" (male and female) when blogging gets boring.
Blogit's big enough now you aren't stuck with everyone all the time, so one can just skip the comment butterflies like me and read/communicate with real writers like yourself.

offbeat, that's very sweet...
That's a comment that, if you knew me personally, you would know I hold in the highest regard. Personal integrity is important to me. I've been attacked a bit and let myself get sucked into stupid things, but that's my own fault, too. I don't like the personal attacks, but mostly, there's just a negative vibe here I can't seem to avoid. I'm a bit sensitive right now, I guess. I came here to write....improve...find serenity. I just need to regroup, pull back. And, remember to avoid the hole in the road next time. :) Take care.

Thanks majroj...:)
Commercial writing is tough....but, I get to do it on my own time and follow my passion at the same time. Hopefully, the bills will all get paid and one day I will get to only write what's in my spirit instead of what get's paid through paypal. :)
I always worked with the civil service jobs. Less money, but it drove me. Definitely good folks, hard workers. Gotta work hard to keep seeing the light and hold onto the faith, but some change the system from the outside in....some from the inside out. I always wanted to do a little of both. Now, the universe put me on a different path, but it's all about betterment. Thanks for the support.

Barrister versus solicitor..good distinctions.
I've a "pub defender" and a "family law" in the family. Goold folks, father and daughter.
Ad copywriting is hard, and getting it past the corporate weenies is harder, I hear.
Good sabatical to ya!

HG, I left you a comment in your post...
But what honest question are you referring to? I don't know, but you can ask whatever you want. You are a friend to us both.

I'll be keeping my eye on you....I love to watch you get yourself in trouble. ;) I would miss your posts, also, if I were make a permanent leave. Which, as I mentioned, is not yet decided....and is not what I'm leaning towards. So, keep getting those spankings....I'll pop in and surprise you soon enough I bet. :)

Rach..
Thanks little sis for your strongly worded comment....I feel your little ball of energy over there. My posts will always be available elsewhere if not here.

I will always keep writing, of that you can be certain. I'm also pretty certain that this is just a break from reading and writing here. I don't have a blogspot for slivers because it's only here, but, I don't know if that matters or how long I'll be gone. I just need to refocus, remember why I came here, find my center. I'm scattered in my life, and it has begun to be too aggressive and negative here. I just need some time I think. I'll let you know.

No, I don't write ad copy....not really...I do what I need to in order to pay the bills, but I hate it and take no offense if you rip it. I am working on my own work. A barrister....I've always loved that term. Thanks for taking the time to come leave this comment. It's okay if you haven't read me much, we can't read everyone....and I appreciate you stopping by after that comment. It was hard for me to leave.
It's always good to regroup, I think. Find our path again. Thanks for stopping in. :)

Cass...
You're sweet.
Plenty, I assure you, but it's more of a tone here that I'm letting get to me and I shouldn't. I'll give you details in email if you want them. :)

Well I wish you'd stay. If I promise not make you and jimmy mad at me for asking an honest question again? I can't help being stupid.

What the hell?!
Hey, I don't think you need to let those assholes (whoever they are ) keep you from writing here. I'll miss your posts, as I know a ton of other people will. So, don't let the assholes control you or get a leg up on you. Fuck 'em! Keep writing for you--and for those of us who look forward to every post you write!

I meant "copy writer"!
And your "About Me"...maybe you DO write ad copy! AND a barrister, even if not practicing.

I think your comment to my post was very strong and on-target.
Some people can't take that. (And, of course, sometimes we all write things that gets under others' skin...my own blogging as an example).
I can't say I've been a huge fan or followed your blogs much, but not because your blogging has repelled or infuriated me.
A sabbatical is good. If we all wanted to blog under the whip, we'd write advertising copy for a living.
(Please, please don't tell me you're an advertising copy righter!!)
