Starting SOO 2
🕑 Added 2021-04-26 17:01:43 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
I have been chipping away at Delvers LLC 5, and it's fun when I'm working, but I've been dragging at times. I was talking to Melli today about it and I definitely have some kind of depression. In some ways, it feels like my seasonal depression from Winter just never actually ended.
Of course, all of this is potentially complicated by the fact that I'm a professional creative and that 2020 kind of tied me into a pretzel. In some ways I still haven't recovered from 2020.
In my experience, the only way to really deal with depression (for me) is to keep trying different things to either lighten the grey or to put a crack in it. Staying still for too long and/or not struggling makes it much harder to dig myself out of the hole.
While I was talking to Melli, the subject of SOO came up...and it's been rattling around in my mind ever since.
I'm not going to stop working on Delvers LLC...I still have to honor the promise I made to my readers, even if I am going to be a little late. However, I think I'm going to take a shot at actually writing SOO 2 as well.
So TL:DR, I've been in a funk and I don't want to get burned out on Delvers. As a result, I'm going to begin work on SOO2 soon.
Hopefully working on a new story will help my state of mind and help me get jazzed about writing again so I can hit my goals for this year. Taking on more projects has, in the past, actually greatly increased my productivity and gotten stories out the door faster.
Thank you for listening to me ramble. Part of my motivation for spilling my guts here is because I feel responsible to you all. You are not only my greatest supporters--by being here, you help motivate me to figure out how to get over all the problems have crop up on this wacky journey that we are on instead of putting it off...and putting it off, and putting...

Which one is SOO again?

It is a good idea. My wife has also been doing a lot of “I’m going to randomly write in this place I’ve never written before” to find a lot of help when feeling burnt out, which has been a lot harder in the past year. I think you are on the right path to getting done what you want to, you’ve consistently been getting out delvers chapters, and working on your other life goals at the same time so I bet this will help you get everything done you want to. This year is a big change year for me and my wife as well, and we are already like 1000% more productive this year than we were same time last... so that is a good sign.

You gotta do whatever you think will help you the most! I can't speak for anyone else but I'm always happy to read whatever new and interesting stuff you write especially if that helps you prevent burning out!

As long as I can keep reading great stories by you I'll be ecstatic! Hope you start to feel happier!
