I took a break from writing here for a month. I also took a break from my other main blog, Productive Writers.
First, I’m back!
Second, I know many of you are also bloggers, so I wanted to share how I went about setting up the blogging break.
I explained why I was taking the break in a post here on December 20. However, I just wrote over at ProductiveWriters.com about the reasons for the blogging break.
I had plenty of work for textbook publishers, and I wanted time for getting to know Santa Cruz and environs better, so I put ProductiveWriters.com and the Northern California Hiking Trails blog on the back burner.
All good suggestions, none of which I have done! I hope people don’t think I have abandoned my blogging….it’s just that I haven’t gone anywhere lately! Good to see you back in action!
I think you have a different blogging style. You write in-depth essays with lots of photos, and we don’t expect them on a fairly regular basis since they take so long to create.

Clever idea, John, to get us to go to your other site! I made my main comment there, but will say here that I agree that taking breaks is a good idea.
Welcome back!
The older I get, the more I appreciate free time in the outdoors and with the people I love.
John,
All good suggestions, none of which I have done! I hope people don’t think I have abandoned my blogging….it’s just that I haven’t gone anywhere lately! Good to see you back in action!
I think you have a different blogging style. You write in-depth essays with lots of photos, and we don’t expect them on a fairly regular basis since they take so long to create.
I hope you go somewhere soon!
