Susan, I’ll miss your insights and the quality of your writing, but after a year of pushing this hard, reclaiming some time sounds well earned. Your essays have consistently given me something worth thinking about, which is increasingly rare.
I hope the time away proves restorative and that whatever direction you take next benefits from the recharge. I’ll look forward to the occasional note in the meantime—and to your return to long-form writing whenever the time feels right.
Lloyd, thank you for your generous words. I'm very glad my writing reached you.
It is a bit scary that long-form writing and reading seem to be a dying pursuit. I am putting the former aside just for a little while so that I can make sure I don't lose the discipline of reading books! I was getting worried about that, but I'm finally stuck into Milton and Chesterton now, so I think I am getting back on track.
I'll be back next time I get riled up about something, I'm sure. 😉

Enjoy the spaciousness. I've been considering the same.
