SOL, I haven’t written alongside you since April 2022. I had every intention after poetry month to take a short break and return in July. The first of July came and went..
“Okay, okay, I’ll just start at the beginning of the school year.” Then the first of August came and went…
“Okay, I need to be realistic. This school year is ROUGH. I’ll start during the next break.” Then Thanksgiving came and went…
Well, it just continued on and on. And then there was THIS reminder I’d set up long ago as a weekly recurring notification to pile on the guilt…

So, I guess there’s no better time than….now? Is it cheating though? Is it cheating if I make my return the day before SOLSC??
I have missed this community and have come up with every reason known to man why I shouldn’t return to writing in this space. But I know you all will tell me, kindly, how dumb that is.. For some reason, I feel a need to recap y’all on everything you’ve missed in my life?! (LOL)
I’m committing to SOLSC and can’t wait to “catch up” with you this month!!!
Glad you are back!

You are definitely not cheating. The hardest part about stopping something is returning after a long break. Glad you’re here again!

I’m the same way Britt and your entry today may have inspired my own writing about my return. Better late than never, right?
