Unplugged


People! It has come to my attention that I, like many citizens of the Internet, indeed need to occasionally unplug. I'm going to take a short break from blogging (like, a week), the idea being that a week spent actually reading articles instead of skimming them, having a chance to replenish my well—and, hey, maybe sitting down with a book and finishing it instead of flurrying off to write up a blog post—will do both my well-being and my writing here some good.

But never fear! You want more Beheld, you say? Yes, I can hear the cries from the mountains to the forests to the oceans white with foam—and as it happens, I've got it, unless you're the rare reader who has gone through my entire archives. This blog didn't get much traffic in its early months, so I'll point you to entries you've probably missed because they were published in The Beheld's infancy:

Also, my Marie Claire essay on ED-NOS is currently on stands, as well as online here. I'll be back soon, ready to rock. Until then, Internet, stay safe, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.

  1. Enjoy! Take 2-3 weeks if you need them. :) We'll all be here when you get back.

    1. *Whew*! There's that fear that everyone will just disappear forever if I do for a coupla weeks, but I know that's irrational. Thank you for the reminder!

  2. Have fun! I am about to do the same (only with gaming, not the Internet as a whole) and I'm extremely worried about my ability to do so. I'll see if I can hold off for as long as you're away! Then I get two good things back at once xD

    1. It's a deal! Good luck with putting gaming on hold--I know that can be tough. (I'm not a gamer but the few times I do play a video game I'm shocked at how quickly I become engrossed.)

  3. I'll whisper this: I actually think that healthy breaks are GOOD for readership. I know I'll still be here when you return.
