Dear me, I almost forgot that my seventeen-year cycle is just about up and it’s time to reinvent.
Actually, I’ve been thinking about closing up here for a couple weeks now and while the event I based it upon happened and what I’d planned on doing wasn’t supposed to be this but the opposite, I think the reasoning behind it all somehow turned out to be the same truth.
So unless like some junkie I show up back here in rehab after only a short spurt of freedom out on the streets sniffing the dirty white dust of reality, I’m done here. I’ll keep reading, and Lord help me to overcome the bad habit of writing, so life won’t be all that different I suppose. And truly, even a snob such as myself must come to accept the notion of writing only for oneself.
It’s been a great ride and to those of you who I’ve met through this, remember, I’m always available via e-mail. Friendship transcends weblogs. Spinning will hang here in the cosmos until I figure out how to delete every last trace of it. Maybe you’ll even recognize me under a new sign some day.
Have fun–play nice out here.

What! Oh no! I will miss reading you Susan! (but thankfully I have your email address.)
*Boo hoo*
*sniffle*
I refuse to believe this is permanent. . . .
Say it isn’t so.
The tone of the post was a lot more flippant than I feel; the decision isn’t based on what I want, but rather what I feel I need to do.
Already I’ve sat down to write a couple entries, based on what I’m reading, on what’s going on in the backyard and in my head and had to stop myself.
This is in truth harder to give up than smoking. But I’ve been rather downed by events lately and losing faith in things and mainly in myself. The tone of Spinning has taken on that voice and that’s not good.
I may just need some time to seek some answers.
Say. It. Is. Not. So.
I refuse to accept this. You CAN’T be replaced, you know…
Wow. Okay. We all do what we must. Sure have enjoyed the ride. 🙂
It’s good to always keep yourself flexible. I’ve considered quitting several times. Most blogger do. Which is fine.
Come back when you want. 🙂
I’m rethinking the position only because I’m finding it hard to stay away–meaning that I suppose my purpose is indeed that I write for myself.
Spinning could be just for lit reviews and closed to the public, and I could start a separate blog for an occasional “Reality” post and this would be closed to the public except for a select few like you guys!
It’s not as easy as I thought it’d be to quite cold turkey. Whether I decide to close down everything or start anew, the decision will be made by the end of the month and I’ll let you know. Thanks for caring.
