I am hardly a weather guru. The only way I can predict the weather for the day is to get up in the morning and go look out the window. But, anti-guru-osity aside, I’m still going to make the claim that this planet, and its inhabiting species, has endured a lot by way of Mother…
When Customer Service Goes Awry
ByRiley
– OR – There’s a Fine Line Between Good Customer Service and Being a Creeper I’ve been a magnet for bizarre customer service this week. Granted, the first one I kind of had coming. That doesn’t make it any less creepy. I mean, just because a young couple in love falls asleep on a raft…
The Guy Who Intentionally Had a Period

I read this story sitting in a New York hotel room back in March, and meant to share it then, but I kept putting it off until it finally got lost in browser Neverland. The other day, I remembered it and found it again, and, finally, I get to share it. There is something exceptionally brave in…

I think you have a choice Riley, but choosing not to write may be more destructive than choosing to write… If writing can make you frustrated and feeling like a failure sometimes then just imagine what it will feel like(not always, but sometimes) when/if you do not engage in writing at all, cause i think the frustration and feeling like a failure will still be there sometimes, it just won’t be expressed, now that seems like a horrible situation…
That being said, there is nothing wrong with a break and exploring other ways to express yourself could be fun?
Lots of love and support from everyone here either way.
While I certainly don’t want you sad and frustrated, I have to say the selfish lizard part of my brain went into panicky denial at the thought of not reading your writings in the future.
Whichever way you decide, I hope it works out well for you.
(((((hug)))))
I wish I had the perfect words to help you out of your mopey-red-stick-figure-self-doubting slump.
I can offer you more hugs via my super-high-speed internet, though. (I upgraded recently so you could get them before I click Submit Comment)
May is right, you got lots of love and support. 🙂
*hugs* aaaaand click
Hoping that you won’t decide to give up entirely, but luck in whatever you decide.

Thanks peeps 🙂
I kept meaning to say something about this. But my gut reaction was always to laugh and think ‘choice? where did she get that idea?’ which I didn’t really think would be helpful at all.
But sometimes a break really does help. I know after I finished my writing course, my brain kind of died, and it took me twelve months to really sit down and write anything afterwards.
I hope you’re feeling better about everythign though, because I have a feeling that twelve months without writing would actually kill you. And none of us want that.
