I have the fly. First time in my life I can say that. Awesome, I can officially cross it off my bucket list. To make things better, I also have bronchitis. And as a result of all this, I decided to take the week off of working for the newspaper. Believe me, I didn't want to. Especially since I didn't write anything for the paper last week because my story fell through. After appearing in The Sojourn nearly every week all throughout my freshman year, going two straight weeks without a byline is not going to be fun.
And it gets even better.
Spring break is coming up, next week actually. So after two straight weeks of not writing for the paper, we get a week off of school. No paper then either. So I'm going to go almost a full month without writing like I always have. The way it's in my blood. The way that's second nature to me.
At first, I was embarrassed of myself; ashamed that I was letting this happen. But then, I realized that I might really need this break. I've been talking (complaining?) about how I feel my writing has gotten a little stale. What better way to fix that problem than take a mental break from what can be a strenuous job.
So there you go. That's my plan. I'm going to take a break. Give my mind a rest; give my notepad a break. And when I come back, I'm going to be healthy, relaxed, refreshed, and better than ever.
