Look, don’t let this go to your head, but your Daily Mail Headline Generator was genius and your blog always has something intewresting to say. Get back to work.

Don’t wimp out on us, Chris! Sometimes, you just have to roll the dice, publish that post and let the carnage begin…

Nooooo! I discovered this site, like, 5 minutes ago. Came in on a different page, looked around a bit, fell in love, sent the URL to ALL my friends, then looked at the homepage and found the shock news. Kinda like reading magazines backwards.

Anyway, it’s fair enough: when stuff you do for free becomes a chore then it sucks, to put it eloquently. But still. Nooooooooooooooo.

Well, you’ve managed to go cold turkey for nearly three days. The blogotine should be out of the system. Now’s when the craving’s REALLY kick in… If you can last two weeks then you should have managed the willpower to kick the habit for good – but if you’re determined, don’t give in. Just one post could get you back into the 20 a day habit, even if it’s months from now…

also, I'd just like to use the abbr tag. Because you said I can, and I never have, and I wanted to see what it looked like.

Fair enough. Enjoy your time away. Bit of time off might do you good. And if you (whisper it) find something better to do* then your life will be richer for it.

* Assuming such a thing exists.

I’ll chime in with the compliments. I’m only a part-time reader of the site, but I still enjoy what’s here, and you’ve got a good writing style. I enjoy this place so much so that when I lost the bookmark to this place the only way I could fid it again was to googe for the election map, since I had no chance of remembering the random sequence of letters used in the url.

I won’t demand you come back though, since its entirely up to you whether you want to write or not, so I wish you well on whatever you do. I expect however, that the writing bug will bite after a while of being away, as I usually find any break from something I enjoy doing does the same for me. Have fun in whatever you do if you don’t though.

Sorry to see you go, Chris. Last time I liberated myself / threw the toys out the pram, I wasn’t away long. Betcha can’t resist… See you soon?

I’ve got you down as my ‘fave blog’ on my website, so I’m buggered if you stop writing stuff.

I’ve got more drafts saved than posts as well. Lately I’ve just decided to go back to writing any old shit, like I have for 6 months. It doesn’t matter thats its a pile of crap, I’m the only one I do my blog for, no-one else, thats my attitude, if others like it as well, thats a bonus.

Everyone has their mind go blank from time to time. I find posting comments on other blogs more stimulating for writing posts than just ‘trying to think of things to write’. Let it be natural and if blogging really is getting you down then you are taking it too seriously.

NO! At the risk of stroking your ego, NO! I for one will be gutted, mainly for the reasons outline above and because it’s nice to read erudite posts; that is, let’s face it something of a rarity online. Oh well, I guess all that’s left is to call you a pussy for wimping out ;)

Pussy.
