Things have been a little chaotic here recently. In fact, the whole summer has been nuts. I am trying to build a house (and so far failing), finishing two novels, and sorting things in order to someday move into a smaller place; we were evacuated for the Lockheed fire in August and are just getting things back in order; and suddenly, I am realizing I need to really get some writing out there now that I've been published a little bit.
So I am taking a 6-month hiatus from the blog. I don't know what that will do to my readership, but it seems more fair to simply state when I'll be back, writing about things that are cool and interesting, than to simply fall away like I've been doing recently.
I'll hopefully collect weird bits during the coming six months and come back fresh and full of new things to talk about.
In the meantime, take care and feel free to use these pages as a source of inspiration for writing or art, a place to come to be reminded that the world is not a dull place, or just resource for finding out about something obscure which just might be here.
Please, feel free to email me at mcdougal dot heather at gmail dot com and let me know if there's anything you think I should be blogging about. And thanks to those who already have. I'm thinking about it, I promise.
I'll be back on March 20th, 2010.
Cheers,
Heather

Heather, we better see some shiny new novels and short bits from you when you're back from the hiatus. Writing writing writing for 6 months? That must be a lovely vision of your immediate future.
Sheesh, That is a long time to wait for more of this cool stuff. I sure will miss cruising over here while taking a break from painting!
I love your blog and look forward to reading again when you return.
when are your novels due out?
Well, I do hope you all return!
And I don't have any secure venues for the books yet, but wish me luck! Part of the work for these six months is making that happen...
through hte magic of RSS feeds, we will be here waiting for you in 6 months.
Best of luck with your writings, and all your Life Endeavors!
Crumbs!
Enjoy your break but I shall miss your posts.
Aw! I'll miss your comments, too!
You will be sorely missed and your return eagerly anticipated. Good luck with everything until then.
Good luck and happy writing!
Your stories are the closest thing to my having (another person's) dream when I'm awake, thank you for that! All the best from Serbia and I look forward to your return. Katarina

I discovered your wonderful blog just as you go on hiatus. At least there is plenty for me to browse back through.
I look forward to your return!
If you need a break from writing you might enjoy my new blog - donaldfortescue.com. I'm delving into some common ground.
All the best,
Donald.
Ah... you will break our hearts! How much I love the wanderings of your mind and the fabulous curiosities you share. Still, I understand the need for a break and wish you all the best!
I'm keeping you in my feed reader and awaiting your return!!
Dear mcdougal, best wishes for your short break...may it serve the purpose for you...And your blog is interesting and engaging....Though not into writing much, i am into reading and since i have ordered a dozen of books online from A1Books, I too need a break like you to finish them off one by one :)
One nice thing about readership, we have our RSS readers, or our blog links we click every now and then... we come back to see, and then we will find.
Namaste.
I have enjoyed your blog. Enjoy the break!
