I’ve been MIA.

In fact, I’ve been so MIA I’ve brought a whole new meaning to the acronym.

Some of you may have been wondering (or panicking) what you’re gonna be doing for the month of March… Don’t worry I’ve got you covered.

You’ve got into the habit of writing every single day and now you’re wondering how the hell you’re supposed to sustain it.

Thanks to the January challenge, we got into a real rhythm.

Then came February, and those who kept at it, well, they kept at it.

Not me though. By the time I crawled, hobbled or fell into bed at night, I’d log into Medium and be overwhelmed with a never-ending list of mentions.

I’d think to myself, right, tonight is the night I get through all of them. Then I’ll write mine… While reading the first story, I’d fall asleep, phone in hand.

I’ve been waking up to a dead phone every morning because I’ve been too tired to even plug it in to charge. (The charger is right beside my bed, mere centimetres from where I lay).

Moving has made me lose my rhythm and because of this, I think I’ve become a dipper.
