Burnout
My profuse apologies for neglecting this blog for so long—it’s not that I don’t want to post; I’ve simply run out of things to say. For the moment, I’ll blame it on summertime. Sound good?
Blogging isn’t the only abandoned hobby around here. All my “writing projects” are now “writing thoughts.” I haven’t made any progress in weeks, maybe months. But as much as I’d like to see them finished, I don’t mind letting them rest. Writing is fun—trouble is, the fun gets lost when you’re making yourself do it. Why not wait for the desire to write? I’m not going anywhere, and neither are the ideas. It’s good to take a break.
Summer brings with it a wild amount of traveling and hectic schedules for the Maisano family. This week, we’re participating in a local chamber music festival. Our concert will be on Saturday. The following Wednesday, we’ll pile in the car and head to Tennessee for a two-week music camp with the Annie Moses Band. Allowing time for travel there and back…well, July will be gone by the time we get home. At the moment, August looks empty. Leave it to us to plan another trip, though! Before we know it, the 2009-20010 NCFCA season will have begun, and “hectic” will be synonymous with “normal life.” Moreso than usual, that is.
And there you have it. I await the return of the blogger within me—I expect she’ll show up soon.
I agree that breaks can be very beneficial (though I’m not one to talk because it seems like after every one of my blog posts, I take a “break”
) May a million buckets of fun be poured on you while you’re at the camp.
Love,
Christina
Life is like a Debate round on an airplane, on a roller coaster, at music festival, at a party, during debate camp, while writing a case, and doing school, during an earthquake, on a Jello desk, to stand on, to practice your hobbies… All summed up in the word “Crazy”.
*Sig…* Wait I don’t have time to sigh!

You just said exactly what I feel like in the first two paragraphs (er, maybe I don’t want to post. I don’t know, I’m just feeling so lazy about it lately). It’s been almost a month since I posted, I haven’t gotten much writing done, either (except for journaling my life), and I don’t have many ideas, either. Sigh. I’m glad I’m not alone…
Oh my dear, dear Anne! You mustn’t be vexed that you weren’t in my will – even my dear elven kin, Christina was not in it – I was so flustered and upset and emotional, I couldn’t think strait! Please, please, please forgive me!
Oh, and, now that you mention it, you would be the perfect person to leave my copies of Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonle and Anne of the Island too!
But you must not destroy them, or give them away. You must keep them, and read them and think of me when you hear of silly Philipa Gordon!

P.S. You called yourself Anne! How sweet! *hugs*
I can’t wait to see ya’ll at FASA! This is very exciting!
Blessings,
Taylor
Oh, how long will it take ya’ll to get to Tennessee? I’m just curious.
Blessings,
Taylor
Yes, I can’t wait to meet y’all there! As far as traveling time, I’m actually not sure…but I think it’s around 14 hours.
Sorry I haven’t dropped by for a while…
I know, you can’t force yourself to write and excpet it to be any good. I have been taking a break from one of my own stories (which will hopefully be novel-length when finished!).
I was starting to drag and lose focus…and that makes for a slow, non-interesting chapter.

Apology accepted.
Yaay for updating!!
