My mojo's gone missing

Dear faithful (and maybe not-so-faithful) readers,

I'm writing to let you know that my mojo's gone missing. My blog writing mojo, I mean. One day he was here, and the next day he was gone. This has never happened to me before (in the whole 4 weeks that I've been writing), but I guess there's a first time for everything.

It's not like I haven't been trying to write. I have quite a few posts drafted, but every time I go back to work on them they seem mean or boring or not really that funny. And I don't want to subject you to any of those things. I also have a long list of story ideas stored on my phone, but none of them are saying "write me." So I've got nothing.

I have a number of theories about what happened to my mojo: he decided he'd prefer working in a warmer climate, he's lost somewhere in the chaos of our basement, or he's shacked up with some floozy he met at Starbucks. But I suspect it simply comes down to a very busy April (Easter, three family birthdays, a wedding and April Fool's Day), having a lot on my mind these days, and newborn-style sleep deprivation (thank you Ryan).

So here's the plan. We're heading off on a mini family vacation this weekend (without Ryan, sorry buddy), which will give me a break from all that's going on and hopefully convince my mojo to return. I will also be putting these posters up around the neighbourhood. If you see him, please tell him to come home - he's missed.

Yours most sincerely,

Dawn
