My Dear Friends,
I call you friends because that’s honestly how I see you all. Over the past two years or so that I’ve been blogging under the iggi&gabi name I feel like I’ve gotten to know you as writers and readers and I consider myself so very lucky to have such awesome people supporting this blog. This is why this post is probably one of the hardest I’ve had to write. Don’t worry. I won’t get super-sentimental on you, but you’ll have to forgive me if I get a bit misty-eyed.
As many of you already know, I’m expecting a new addition to my little family: Lawyer-hubby and I are having a baby! Originally, I thought I’d be able to juggle a soon-to-arrive new baby and a new business and this blog, but as I’ve thought about it, I’ve realized that I’ll have to take more than just a two month hiatus from iggi&gabi.
See, Baby Peanut is not the only new addition to my life. This past September I launched DIY MFA as a business and I have ambitious plans for it in 2012. I don’t think of this hiatus from iggi&gabi as leaving the blogsphere altogether, but rather, I plan to consolidate everything under the DIY MFA umbrella. So if you haven’t already done so, check out the DIY MFA blog. I will continue posting there and have really exciting plans for the new year so stay tuned!
Also, for those of you who periodically need their iggi fix, fear not! I will be keeping the iggi&gabi site up, I just won’t be posting updates for a while.
As for YA Cafe: Ghenet will continue posting YA-related awesomeness, so follow her blog All About Them Words for more YA Cafe. The schedule may be a little different so check her blog for more details!
Most importantly, I wanted to say thank you to all of you for being such wonderful and supportive readers. I’ve been so lucky to have such great people in my corner these past years. I hope I see you over at DIY MFA so we can keep sharing our obsessions with writing and books!
As always, keep writing! And keep being awesome!
