Some plants turn brown for a season, and even disappear for months, then burst forth anew in wild glory, more beautiful and stately than ever. They don't die, they are just taking a pretty heavy semester and are still writing like fiends, just not on their blog. They expect to pop up in December during winter break, but until then they are hiding.
Perhaps they will post papers from creative writing classes, but not much else. This plant is sorry that it could not finish its Fantasy musings. Did anyone care about that, anyway? Probably not. This plant feels so immersed in academia and that it's not sure what is important to its audience. Is academia a kind of fertilizer, though? Opposed to plain soil, but good for the development of the plant?
Does the plant need to go to sleep?
Yes.
