I have been away for the last twelve days. And I have been on a deliberate writing fast. I know that in diet, fasting can speed up your metabolism and give all your organs a bit of a rest. So, I decided to use this time to see if the writing muse needed a break and will reward me with lots of creative moments going forward.
So, I celebrate the beginning of 12 days spent in paradise with my wonderful husband. It wasn’t such an onerous place to fast. I even inherited a pet who I named Igor (even though his presence every morning was a bit unnerving).
And I celebrate the end of vacation and my writing fast and a return to you my gentle readers. I have missed our conversations.

We missed you too, Bernadette. Glad you recognized that your muse needed a break—it’s sort of like hitting “refresh” on your computer! I’m looking forward to your new posts!

SO glad you had a good vacation – but delighted to welcome you back! You were missed – you’re like the center pole of the tent that keeps us all together. Can’t wait to see your new writing…(wonder what Igor may inspire!)

Welcome back, Bernadette. You sound so relaxed despite the presence of Igor (hehe). Nothing like a pet dragon to keep you on your toes. 🙂

Bernadette, you and your new pet will spark the pages of your writing notebook and bring us the pleasures of a writing fast. That is a great idea to be unplugged. I tried a mini-break this morning-no chats, just baking with a creative flair for a dinner party tonight. I can’t wait to see what the muse offers you.

I would love to have a vacation with a dragon for a company. I used to babysit a baby water dragon once. They are so sweet.
