The title seemed appropriate, but don’t worry, it’s said with irony. Not sarcasm, however.
I’ve decided to shut down my blog. Thank you so much for following my journeys over the years, lovely readers. I appreciate the interest in my life and the comments that have shown your care.
For those of you interested in my fiction, I will post any further updates to my blog at Rozelle Press, my business site. I realize if you go there now the last post will be from April 2020 — time flies when you’re having fun! — but I will update it if and when I have publishing news to announce. I might someday, one never knows.
I won’t be shutting down this site right away, because I’ve got to change the links in the backs of my books. Also, I can’t get rid of the links in books that have been already sold, of course, so this site will probably be sitting here for a while. But I won’t be updating it any more and eventually it will go “poof” and disappear, in the way of all ephemeral things.
That’s okay. All things die eventually and sometimes, it’s just time to let go.
Take care of yourselves!
What? I enjoyed your exp in your van, your pictures, your life. I have been following your blog for years. Take a break. Sorry to see this poof. Thank you for sharing so much. Please check in once in awhile so I know u are well and a book is coming out (or whatever). Your books are wonderful.
Thank you! I do definitely plan to keep writing stories, so I expect that there will be news on the Rozelle Press site. And maybe someday I’ll revisit this blog, too. I spent a fair few hours trying to figure out how to turn it into something that I can read if I let the domain name lapse and there’s a lot of content here. I know I don’t care about all of it, but I don’t want to lose it entirely either.
Take care and be well~ I hope our sons find their way to us one day. I will think of your Ryan as I think of mine~
Cynthia
Thank you! I hope your Ryan realizes how much you love him and how lucky he is eventually!
Thank you and let’s have hope. I’ve gotten so many dings back from your friends/fans.. Are you sure you want to leave? Take the pressure off yourself and come back when the spirit moves. Perhaps you should publish a cookbook 🙂
Be well and safe, Cynthia
Be well, my friend…
Thank you! You, too.
I’m sorry to hear this.
I thoroughly enjoyed your stream of consciousness musings. But a blog is something a writer does for herself and if Wynded Words isn’t gratifying then I understand.
Looking forward to the time when we can be together, overlooking the Atlantic and cooking together.
Be well.
Thank you, brave lady, for the many years of posts…it was an excellent blog. <3
💚 hopefully we can keep in touch, however brief or infrequent, into the future.
You know my number. (I’d do a heart emoji if I could figure out how to make one in comment box, but alas, I am emoji challenged.)
I am sad for you to quit blogging . I have enjoyed your life vicariously and cried through your loss. I have loved your books and felt that Cici took your writing to another level . Best of luck to you , you are an amazing , talented , versatile person who seems to excel in anything you do.
Aw, thank you so much, that is so kind of you! I will be posting updates to Rozelle Press and I have been thinking about Cici a lot lately, so maybe one of them will be about her. I love Cici!
Oh, I’m very sorry to read this! I’ll miss you.
*Hugs*. In my mental debate about making this choice, the reminder of our walk around your waterfall was one of the things that pushed heavily on the “don’t quit” side. I’ve been incredibly lucky to meet people that I only knew because I shared parts of my life online — you and Kyla and Carol. You’re the best part of the internet!
I am so sad to read your latest updates- a little sad for me because I have enjoyed your blog, but mostly sad to know what a difficult time you are having. Sending love and hugs your way. I hope we get a chance to meet up again some day. Maybe we can make new canvases and now I know what to put on them so they won’t fade and turn yellow.
I just read your last update (I’m always weeks late with blogs) and I’m so sorry things are so hard right now. I can’t even imagine the pain you’re feeling. I’m happy you have a friend with you, I’d worry about you if you were still alone on the road.
Thanks very much for the lovely words! You’re an awesome part of the internet too <3
Well, goodness. I didn’t expect this news. I hope we can stay in touch. Take good care of yourself and be happy!!! Hugs always, dear friend.
Definitely! I’ll have to start commenting on your blog more often, that all. 🙂
I wouldn’t mind that one bit! 😉 And I’ll still watch for Gluten free recipes… and vegetarian ones too. 😉
Oh, Sarah! I am going to miss this SO much. You don’t know what following your adventures has provided, especially during the pandemic and having to stay quarantined as a caregiver, unable to leave the house for a year. Your blog has been full of things to comfort and ponder. I’ve laughed and cried and enjoyed every sentence, particularly your times in Arcata. I hope everything is well? Nothing wrong?
Well, there’s a follow-up post where I get rather more explicit about my reasons for quitting publicly blogging. 🙁
