Challenge of the Week CCXXIV
You've checked out, had enough, are unplugging for a year, and heading off into a nice place in the woods with enough supplies to write the novel you've always wanted to, and to be alone. You've decided to email yourself a paragraph to copy/paste for all the texts you're about to send to your people before you drive off. What do you say? 25 dollars to the top recluse. Winner will be judged by likes.

Do Not Reply

Hi!

Thanks for contacting me. This is an auto-response. So don't reply to it, or maybe do and I'll get a whole bunch of messages from people when I come back, that might be cool. I will be out of contact for the next 12 months, but I look forward to replying to your message, or messages, when I return. I found the daily distractions of civilization a little too, well, distracting so I am headed to a cabin in the forest to be by myself and write. Since I hate nature and the forest I feel like it will be the perfect place to really buckle down and get some words down on the page. I am very easily distracted so I thought maybe if I removed all the fun distractions and left only the boring nature-y ones I'd actually work. So that was my logic.

I promise I haven't been kidnapped and this is the kidnapper writing this message. I'm just too cowardly and lazy to have this conversation/ fight with everyone in my life. Although if I was a kidnapper I'd probably say that too so you're just going to have to trust me and not come looking for me while I unravel myself from society. But wouldn't that make an interesting story? A kidnapper who keeps messaging with all their victims friends? How long would it take anyone to notice? Maybe I've got something there. Or maybe it's been done a million times before. I should Google that. Anyway, I'm getting distracted.

I should go back and edit this auto-text into something more coherent, but I feel like this gives you the most honest version of why I need to get in my car and hope it gets me all the way to the cabin. Maybe I'll come back all mellow and zen and we can have a good laugh about this. Or maybe I'll be too famous because I'll have a hit novel on bookshelves and I won't want to talk to any of you anymore. Haha Or maybe I'll just be really into hiking and the woods and nature! Wouldn't that be weird? See you in a year! I'll be fine.
