I love the idea of taking a sabbatical. Just checking out from the real world and letting the mind wander. Someday :-)
I am on the opposite kind of sabbatical, a non-self-imposed sabbatical. The festivities at the turn of the year (awesome!) my stint as a producer of a kids musical (what?!? yes, I will do nearly anything to support my kids) and my job (love it, love not dressing in a uniform) are taking away from my creating and writing time.
This is not a complaint - I just hope you bear with me :-)
