This will be my last blog until September. Gulp. And I’ll not be posting on FB or Twitter either. Another gulp. Unless the spirit moves me, and even then it’ll be just for fun.

As a self-employed writer and teacher it’s not easy to stop paying attention to work. My work is my life and my life is my work and I can’t imagine doing anything else. Even so, it is important to unplug for a while. And that is what I plan to do for the next few weeks.

I hope you all get to detach from your usual life for a bit this summer so we can all return refreshed and with a new perspective. Have a happy end of summer and see you all in September.
