People Are Angry :( People Are Worried.
🕑 Added 2024-11-12 23:58:42 +0000 UTCSo, to put it bluntly, people are worried about me. Life has been rough recently. I work around 80 to 90 hours a week (including writing). I'm not making ends meet like I was a year ago and cutting expenses isn't working so well. I've been writing consistently, around 4 chapters every week, for almost four years now, I think., maybe five (my mind is toast but proofreaders try to keep me straight).
In short, I'm trying to figure out my life.
I tell you all I'm going to take a break last week, yet then I get hit with messages calling me out on it. So I take one day off to then work twice as hard the following week? I keep getting hit with take the week off and relax. I'm a workaholic, sure. I find it hard to do things like 'take breaks' and relax. I get anxious and feel like I'm wasting potential.
Typically, I have to balance that with shifting focus instead of relaxing, so to speak. I need to swap to something that I don't feel too stressed in getting out but also want to feel productive. So, with getting spammed by all you wonderful people, slapping me and telling me to sit down. =P I think I should probably switch lanes this week and try to take a more moderate approach to a break.
This week's plan?
I'm going to focus on writing chapters in RISE and Winter's Rebirth. I get to feel like I'm doing something. If I release a chapter or two or none in a day or not I don't feel stressed. I'm also swapping my mind state. Why RISE and WR? I showed you the data in a previous post. The project seems to have the most eyeballs on it.
What do you guys think? I still plan to write TO, ATM, and UE, continuing on as normal next week. This is just me trying to figure out how to move forward when things aren't working.
Ramble on, SME. *Spins finger in the air* Ramble on. It snowed! It sucks. It's super wet and heavy and makes me have to go slow to clean it up. It made me lose time on writing. Rages internally!
BTW, does anyone else see her arm breaking like every time life throws it back to slap me? xD Plus

Sigh. People suck. Your fans want you in good health. As long as you let us know you're alive, we're good. Just don't pull a E. William Brown and disappear, making everyone fear for your life! Seriously, take some time to relax and refresh. We'll be here waiting when you get back.

Do what you need to do, hope it helps avoid burnout.
