Currently burned out myself. Should have taken more breaks I hope that taking this longer break helped and destressed you!

Toni Pampliega

Do we get chapter today?!

Torbjørn Nilsen

I Hope Mec's taken a break though. It would be Mec's style to have worked his ass harder than ever and called it a vacation.

Joshua Aarons

Ohhh boy oh boy everyone! Mec is back tomorrow! Or maybe Saturday? Either way strap in Harrakians!

Kitty kat

Fair enough! No point making you feel guilty or uncomfortable while on vacation, right? Kinda defeats the point XP

PickledTink

He promised not to cliff us with that chapter. He fulfilled that promise by ensuring we were cliffed with the previous one instead :)

Karel Londin

Take time to unwind and relax

Kazith

I thought there was going to be one more Bob chappy? If not that’s cool? But bummer if so.

Flippu

Enjoy the summer! Next Bob chapter afterwards?

DM

I was SO happy you’re working on a first Changeling collected book….

Len

Well, I think Viv would force you with a stern look to take official breaks ;).

Weldt

Well I think you are Canadian and I did travel there once for a friends wedding I must say the food there was brilliant and I would most likely gain 50 kg's if I would stay there :D

Mecanimus

I should still have two good weeks of full rest which is ok I think. But yeah it's not a full rest.

Mecanimus

It's ok it will be very light work and probably only for two weeks or so. ... and I don't have a choice lol work has been piling up.

Mecanimus

I'll take a break around Christmas so I feel better not taking the fiver now.

Mecanimus

Ah, I miss Iceland. We traveled there for two weeks. Don't miss the food though.

Mecanimus

Yes and I've ran out of backlog ideas wise so... necessary.

Mecanimus

Thanks and it's fine, I feel no guilt that way,

Mecanimus

Thank you, and it's ok I'll take your monry furing my Christmas break, haha!

Mecanimus

So how do you know? And it's fine I feel more guilt free not taking the money. I'll probs take a break during Christmas anyway,

Mecanimus

It's ok, I will take a break for Christmas AND take your money then.

Mecanimus

Sadly I have two small children so we aren't exactly mobile, but thanks!

Mecanimus

Unironically swimming and boxing regularly now! ... because I'm overweight.

Mecanimus

I would feel guilty. It's ok!

Mecanimus

I would feel guilty because I'll probs also take time off for Chirstmas.

Mecanimus

What do you mean the MC is obviously Solfis

Mecanimus

BLUSH

Mecanimus

It's true that most stories get dropped rather than become completed.

Mecanimus

I might wait until they fix the performance issues first.

phenebeans

Take care of yourself!

Lynnethe

Happy to hear that you're taking the time off for some self care. Do whatever you need to to recover- and if that requires more than a month, then so be it. We can wait. Enjoy the time off.

Len

Just so you know, taking a break to do other writing related things is NOT a break. That’s just doing other work. Take a real break man, where you will be doing absolutely nothing writing related, it’s super important.

D

soooo... youre taking a break to work? Oo Why not do a summer vacation? Take the fam to the beach, thats what id call a break. But then, im not writing amazing stories, so what do i know? XD

Diego Rossi

Have a nice break and enjoy your vacation.

JLM

Take your time and enjoy your vacation... burn out is no fun.

PickledTink

Have fun on your break. If ever you find yourself actively avoiding doing something, you should probably ask why you are doing so and taking time to do something else, anything else, for a while to recover.

Kitty kat

Im honestly cool with tossing you a fiver while you're on break. I consider that part of the process for a quality product. If it was 2 or 3 months, I'd suspend. Either way, if you aren't comfortable I won't push additional stress on you while you're on break :)

jarthur93

enjoy your break sir

Peculiar Oranges

No cliff for bob, all I could ask.

Clifton

Rest is important, so is happiness. I think you're missing a golden opportunity for personal joy by not leaving us with giant cliffs for your break.

RonGAR

REST UP MY GUY!!! We'll be here when you get back! 😁

Senko

Everyone needs time to rest and recharge their batteries even when doing something they enjoy. See you in a month.

MoonlitShade

Well deserved break, you’ve been trucking along for a long time. Rest up and rejuvenate, Wordsmith.

Swinter

Enjoy your vacation :).

Elie

Enjoy your break!

JustARandomPerson

Have a great vacation; it's well deserved! You work so hard

Weldt

Also try to have some fun in you summer vacation. In Iceland you have right to around 24 I think days for vacation a year once you are older and worked longer for the company it goes up so I would just see this as a summer break :D

Scott, just Scott

Thank you for the great stories, and have a good July.

Vincebourgh

Have a nice break! You deserve it

Aclys

Honestly, people with regular jobs usually get/take the july month off to recharge and rest up, please have absolutely no doubt that you deserve to do the same. Your stories are more than worth the wait!

Caitlin

Take your time! And same, I would pay for your break, your writing is worth it to me

Jamie Trevino

Hope to see you again soon! Take a rest!

Noah

Thanks! Wouldn‘t mind paying for your break tbh, I hope you continue writing forever! You are probably my favorite author since I started reading journey more than 4 years ago :)

Claus Jørgensen

Take the time you need. Your wellbeing is more important then a story 👍

Lilith

Thank you for looking after yourself and taking a break! Burnout isn't fun (ask me how I know…) and taking a pause and resting and just doing fun things is important :) I would also be more than happy to still support you financially while you're taking a break. Just think of it as paid leave

DM

Hey, I am perfect happy paying for your month off…. How can I donate?

william wallace

I wish you much cheese and sleep.

Kosuda-kun

Take Care and enjoy your time off

Pltergeist

take your time and enjoy

lenkite

Take a vacation and recharge!

Drakenclaw

I wish you a good recovery and a nice break.

Andrew Moreton

Enjoy a Break

Deinos

Enjoy your vacation you certainly earned it!

Roombot

Have a nice relaxing time off!

Julian

Merry vacation!

AjiTae

Take a trip. Simply relaxing in the same environment as always won't help with burnout. You'll just wake up a month later feeling the same.:)

Specter

Appreciate the communication and transparency, good luck!

Orange Thistle

Looking forward to the next Journey book. Thanks for the heads up on the break. I hope you feel better.

Kennyevilmonkey

Enjoy your rest, and a big thank you for not leaving us stranded on a cliff!

Jake Lewis

Rest up!

JHD

Enjoy your break, and do not get sunburned!

Allie

Take care of your brain!

Bunny Waffles

Chill, rest, and thanks for the promise of no cliffs! That is truly huge!

crusaderstar

Convalesce! Also with more notice I'm personally fine funding a month off, esp since you take them so rarely.

TheShadowMuffin

Have a great summer!

J

Take care and relax!

StarWolf

About time you took a break… make sure to get some exercise in! Get that blood flowing with fresh oxygen in too keep those grey cells pumping out the next books!! 🤣

War and Pieces

Good choice, you gotta take care of yourself. See you in August.

ikbenbarry

how dare you not take my money for an entire month, our favourite dragon would be so dissapointed in you. but in all seriousness I hope a month off will do you good.

elijah pickett

Go for it! Hope it's great and you are energized! You make fantastic worlds!

Oblique

Great to hear there's still a chapter or two in the pipes, and that you're taking care of yourself.

Enif

We'll be here. It's important to take breaks and I hope this will be a recuperative one.

erdnael

Take care of yourself, i'll binge read journey while waiting for your return

John Anastacio

Take care of yourself. Hope you get all the rest you need.

WarStrider72

Jiwa: Changeling Chapter will be Yuuuuuuuuuuuuge! Me: It's a Red Wedding chapter!

Espen Nilsen

Take whatever time you need buddy, bob is a great sidekick character to our favorite dragon overlord (overlordess?) So we need you rested and comfortable to continue their journey 😀

Denva

I love you mecanimus

Guri Linus

My Royal Road library has far too many incomplete stories that will never be finished. Even if I was a terrible selfish person, I’d still be encouraging you to do this!
