Time To Disappear
I need to disappear for a short time. That's the best way to say it.
I have many desires in life and many journeys. One of them is the continued search for me. I am trying to know myself.
Right now I find that I am a little too concerned with the comments and the whole "blog thing," whatever that is. Try to imagine that you are a regular guy who suddenly finds all these people having such strong reactions to your writing. Honestly, what would you make of it? I'm still trying to sort out how I feel about all this. Pride is always a danger, of course, but right now pride is not the problem.
For some reason obsession, fear and depression are the wolves at my door. I have no idea why this is. It's one of the things I want to know about myself.
Also - and I'll say this simply and leave it at that - my wife needs me right now. And I need her. Blogging can take over your life if you're not careful. I want to be careful and not let that happen.
And I need to get away and do some writing. I have two things I want to write, but I keep putting them aside to read comments, fret over them, and answer them as best I can. "Doing the blog" is fun, but I need to disappear for a time. I long to go to my quiet place, just me and my keyboard. I want to go to New Orleans with Foy and see what happens to us there.
And I want very badly to write another Real Live Preacher dramatized version of a gospel story. This one will feature Thaddaeus and Judas. I think I will call it, "Not Even a Rich Woman."
The point is, I need to be with the people who know me in the flesh. Church and family, mostly. And I need to write. So I'm going to disappear for awhile. I'll probably drop by to say hello or post something silly, but I won't be posting any serious writing for a time. I don't know exactly how long. One week. Maybe two.
I'll see you when I see you.
