A Few Captions + Update

 I'll give you the new captions first...

And now the update!

During the first week I took off, I didn't look up any new pictures for captions or even try to write any. I'll admit, it was great. No obligations. No need to pound my head against a wall to eek out a few sentences. Less stress. (Not because of any of you, mind. Just my own personal shit...) I'll be honest,

I thought it might be time to stop writing captions. I really did. I flirted with the idea over and over. It was closer than I thought...

But about a week ago, I sat down to write again and I ACTUALLY finished one. Then another. It was nice to get something done. Then I took a couple days off. Then wrote another couple. I stopped making myself do things at certain times. I stopped pressuring myself to write when I couldn't get anything to stick. It was a far better time than before...

So all that being said, I think for the rest of this year I'll post captions once a month. Might be 20. Might be 2. Whatever my brain decides to let me get out. Over that time I'll see if the passion to keep doing this is still there or if it really IS time to stop. I've been doing this for seven-ish years now and, as of today, will be for awhile longer.

We'll see what happens. In the meantime, though, thank you all for sticking around. Thank you all for being patient. Maybe this is just a bump in the road...

Blog Update (Not 'Bad' News)

 The last few months have been quite busy for me. Between my job and some life stuff, I've been unable to find much time to write captions. Trying to grind stuff out in a short amount of time is not the way I typically go about things. I'm not exactly stressed or overtaxed YET, but I can feel it coming...

So with all that being said, I'm going to take the month of September off from the blog. I'll be back either the 3rd or the 10th of October (I'll give a head's up before I do). I hope you'll all be here when I return!

Stay safe and happy!

*Bonus Post* I Finished Some More!

 Had a few that needed finishing touches put on that I lacked the time to do before. Wrote another one after I found a pic I liked. Hope you enjoy them!

Now back to my cave for another couple of weeks...

Not Many This Time...

 I seem to be going through my periodic writer's block. I don't know if it's the weather or if I'm sick and don't realize it, but nothing seems to feel right on the page at the moment. Sorry in advance and hope you enjoy the couple I DID finish...

If I happen to get any done tonight into tomorrow, I may post them then. Given how things have been going, though, I wouldn't be expecting anything...

New Captions Again

 A few more captions today. Not as many as I like to have, but more than I thought I would. I hate this time of year. The weather's usually okay, but it's also when everyone takes time off and guess who gets to cover it? No, not other people, ME. SO much time spent at work... Ugh...

Anyway, my bitch-fest is over.

In other news, I don't know what's going on, but over the last month or so the traffic to this site has ballooned. Like, four times the amount of daily views on peak days and twice the amount overall. I don't know if I got an algorithm boost or what. Maybe you're all just getting on here over and over and over... Like it can't all be new people, can it?
