Hi guys. I’m sorry to announce that I’m taking a hiatus from blogging about Law & Order: SVU for the next few months. Most of you know that reality-checking TV is my hobby but writing novels is my real job. I’m under a tight deadline to deliver my fifth novel by February. To do that, I’ve got to hunker down, cancel my cable subscription, stop consuming other people’s stories, and put everything I’ve got into my own creation.
This hiatus feels strange. I’ve been evaluating SVU for the past four years, and this is the first break. I’m not used to getting a good night’s sleep on Wednesdays! I’m going to miss, most of all, your comments – I truly love the smart, funny observations that you guys make. But I’ll be back next spring, reality-checking TV and maybe even doing some bigger and better things with the blog. So stay tuned.
Meanwhile, thanks for your support. Happy viewing!
Do you plan on writing up this season’s episodes after you finish the book, or shall they disappear, never to be reviewed?
In the immortal words of Enya: “Who can say where the road goes. Where the day flows, only time.” Realistically: I doubt I’ll review the back episodes. Sorry.
Thank you for letting us know what was going on! We were afraid you won a ride under the lottery bus. Best of luck! You are incredibly brave for cancelling your cable, so I hope that works out. Oh, and I hope your novel writing goes well, too! (I know it will.)
Thanks, Alan. Blogging is definitely not the road to riches, but I do enjoy the conversation, and look forward to getting back to it in the spring, lottery bus or not. 🙂 Thanks for the good wishes on writing!
I will miss your SVU commentary–which has always been informative and entertaining–but I can’t wait to get my hands on your next book. Good luck with your muse.
Thanks a lot, David! I really appreciate your kind words — and your willingness to sub in the past! Hope all is going great with your writing, too!
Hello Allison,
I will miss your reviews, but wish you the best of luck for your book! I’m sure it will be another hit!
Already looking forward to your return to SVU!
Enza
Thanks a lot, Enza! It’s so nice to hear that you enjoyed the reviews. And I really appreciate your good wishes! See you back here on the blog in the spring.
Good luck on the new book! I love your work. I will ask my library to order it so even more people will know about your work. But, I do hope that at some point you can get paid for your SVU commentary, it makes the show so much more meaningful for me as a viewer.
Thanks, Chaya! I appreciate the shout out to your library. And it means a lot to hear that folks out there enjoyed the blog. It makes me want to do it more! 🙂
I want to echo the comments above. After every SVU I immediately rush to read your review so I can decompress and share the experience. Good luck with your book and looking forward to your return!
Thanks a lot, Beth! It’s wonderful to hear from real people who have enjoyed the blog and to know I wasn’t just shouting into the void. I really appreciate your good wishes. Happy Thanksgiving!
I’ll miss your reviews, it’s good to get an opinion from someone who was on the dark side (kidding). Good luck with your writing and hope to hear from you and Anna Curtis soon.
When you come back, you might consider reviewing “How to Get Away With Murder”.
OK, so your deadline was February. It’s now April. What’s up?
*still patiently waiting* 🙁
