For the time being, I'm going to be leaving the monthly charge off, and continue taking a break from Devious World.
I've always said that Devious World, Devious Mundanity, etc. are passion projects, and that I'm proud of the quality of them because I write things that I think would be great to read, and that I'm inspired to write. And before when I've taken breaks, especially longer ones, I've often felt the push to return to writing on it pretty quickly.
And that's just not happening so far this time.
I'm not sure if this is a sign of a deeper burnout, a fixation on other types of writing, or of some larger change in my life. I do know that in the last few months, maybe half year, I've dealt with some very difficult mental issues. I've pushed on and tried to keep going on the Devious stuff, but I found myself making excuses a lot and feeling like I had to justify things, and that was just more stressful and I think contributed further to the burnout.
I don't want to churn out by-the-book content just to make some sort of goal or justification for pledges... I only want to provide quality, and when I'm not feeling inspired or passionate about what I write, I don't feel like I'm giving you quality. So for now, I'm going to continue to focus on personal projects, and see if things change. I'll try to keep you updated.
