Bad Squirl

I am a bad bad squirrel. There you all are, visiting my world-wide-web-log in your dozens, saying delightful things in my Designated Commenting Area, and I am ignoring you all.

I don't mean to, and I don't want to, it's just that my new career is living up to all the dire warnings I was given. Rather impressively, in fact. It sucks the very marrow from my bones.

It's still the right thing for me to do.

But it is also all-consuming, and I am consumed.

Being all-consumed is a good thing, no? The phrase breathes passion and dedication and a forging ahead with one's dreams. Don't you worry about us. We're ok, chuntering along to ourselves :0)

Squirrel, we love you however much you write or don't write. I hope the unspecified new career continues to go well, and please look after yourself. I am, of course, still hoping to be able to read your book eventually without needing to learn "Russian".

Conspicuous consumption? No worries, Squirrel dear. I know that whatever you do, you always give 100%. Glad it still feels right.
