Apologies for getting your hopes up again. I have unfortunate news.
...I'll just jump right into it.
I'm not one of those people who's addicted to writing or storytelling or...typing. It's a monumental effort of will every time I step up to the keyboard. I've been pushing myself to keep going, but it's a daily struggle. Recently, it's been getting harder and harder, to the point that I'm not sure I want to keep doing this.
In short, I'm taking a week off. If, at the end of that week, I want to continue, I will--possibly with an adjusted writing schedule. If not, I won't.
If it makes you feel any better, I've been close to quitting before, but then started feeling better about things. I tend to go in cycles of high and low energy, so I might get excited again, or at least feel strong enough mentally to keep going. Hopefully all I need is a break.
Thanks for coming this far with me.
