Ashley Lily Scarlett
So, yes, I’m taking a break.
I just posted on Between Scarlett and Guest, my project with my friend, Richard Guest.
Last week’s post on Hijacked Amygdala is here. And I’ll post this week’s tomorrow.
I’m participating in Malin Ellisdotter Hellesø’s assignment Decay that will be posted in a few days.
Then I’m being quiet until I don’t feel like being quiet anymore.
As for strata of the self, well, that ground to a halt some time ago. When I’m back that will be too. I think.
Syncopated Eyeball 
Hugs for you, Ashley. Stay well! 🙂
Thank you, Tony. I feel a need for hugs at the same time as feeling like being alone. Do you ever get like that?
I do actually. It’s kind of a weird feeling. (I hope you’re feeling better soon.)
Weird it is. And bloody annoying.
Have a good break, Ashley….
Thanks, Sue.
Enjoy your break and return refreshed, Ashley.
Thank you, Michael. That’s the general idea. 🙂
Enjoy you break but back soon, you’ll be sadly missed!
Ah, thank you so much, Sarah.
By the way, I re-subscribed to Hard Book Habit yesterday; I don’t know if WP unsubscribed me or if I did accidentally while scrolling on my phone. 😦
You sound like me! My sausage fingers combined with pixie sized phone buttons equals social media mayhem! stay in touch x
I have been thinking the same thing myself… Take good care of yourself, my friend. x o x
I haven’t had a proper break for a while. I can’t think properly, even deciding on photo edits has become difficult. I just need to stop trying for a little while. I’ll be back. x o x
I feel you, my friend. Take good care of yourself and your don’t overwork yourself. Hugs!
Thank you, Malin. I know you understand. x o x
Break’m; see you!
See you, Harrie. 🙂
See you down the line, dear Ashley!
Thank you, dear Hariod. x o x
We’ll be looking forward to your return.
Oh, thank you, Matt. That’s really nice to hear. 🙂
Please come back to us though 😀
Thanks very much, Tom. I’ll be back. 😉
Well, it looks like I’m crawling out from under my rock just in time….
Enjoy your stay-away. It’s really rather nice and cool under rocks.
I’ll try and be here when you’re ready to crawl back out.
You never know…I may well have had enough of the sun again by then…
Yes, I love my rock at the moment. 🙂
” Hasta la vista Baby ” …!!!
“I’ll be back” 🙂
This is brilliant. Have a good break, my friend.
Thank you, dear Richard. I’m really glad you like this. One of the very few images I’ve made recently.
I think it’s only now people have got so used to living on the internet that we are recognising the need to take breaks from the relentless, continuous nature of these projects. The well must be allowed to fill itself up again. Sarah and I are cutting down to Mon/Wed/Fri posts as we have found we are neglecting our own writing projects.
Hope you feel replenished soon 🙂
‘The well must be allowed to fill itself up again’
Yes, indeed. That’s very Taoist!
take your time… we all need breaks now and then 🙂 some of us more often than others lol 🙂 sending you good vibes and hugs, Ashley… xo
I’m laying about reading books. 🙂
sounds great, Ashley… enjoy ♥
Thank you. And as soon as I relaxed and wasn’t trying to make images to a daily deadline, I suddenly made some. 🙂
I know very well why is that… spontaneity and not deadlines is what we need in taking photos!! will you be uploading them in the Scarlett-Guest blog? 🙂
No. I’m saving them up for here when I come back. I did post on Hijacked Amygdala today though.
oh, and btw, I love this photo ♥
Thank you, Alexandra. 😊
Sending you hugs, Ashley! I guess I’ve been on a sort-of break too…
You have! I miss you and your posts.
Love this, dear Ashley! Are you okay? A break is a good idea if you’re feeling stuck. I sure know how that is. Please have a good rest and feel free to write me if you need an ear and a friend! XX ellen
Thank you, dear Ellen. I’m ok. Just had to step back from all this for a while. 🙂
