ALOHA! Hawaii here I come!

It will put you in the mood for this post.

Yep, folks. I'm off to beautiful, tropical Hawaii for a much needed vacation with my family. I can't wait to dig my toes into the warm sand, snorkel with the fishes, and eat pineapple.

Originally, I had plans to lug my laptop with me so that I could fully participate in the A-Z Blogfest Challenge I signed up for several weeks ago. But as my trip draws closer, I realize that I need to step away from the computer, from blogging, from twittering, and go and enjoy myself.

Simply put, I need a break.

I had hoped to finish my WIP, have a first draft complete, before leaving on my trip (a goal I set for myself several weeks ago), but that doesn't look like it's going to happen either. Writer's block has its hold on me and so I'm thinking, a relaxing vacation away will hopefully renew my spirit and mind. I will come back ready to attack my laptop with gusto.

So, since I will be gone from March 31st until April 11th, I leave you with a bit of Hawaii to enjoy.

  When I return, I will fully immerse myself in the challenge. I promise.

Until then, I'm off to be lazy in tropical Hawaii and hopefully find my mojo.

If nothing else, I can't think of a better way to try.

Oh, and if you want to be part of the BEST DARN BLOGS EVER! and be stalked by me in a completely non-creepy way, go check it out here. I will stalk you when I get back.
That's a promise.
