I feel awful for doing this, but I think I’m going to put this blog on hiatus for the next two-ish months (I’m going on a major vacation mid-March that lasts until the start of April and then selling at a con the weekend I return so I won’t be back until after that). My writing motivation, in general, has been just been terrible and I’m really forcing myself to do drafts and replies and that’s not exactly fun nor is yielding good results. I really wanted to get to the asks I had before making this voice, but I also don’t want to give anyone lackluster responses either. I think it’s just from stress (from my job, bad luck, and the fact that I’m in charge and responsible for three other people for this trip and I haven’t been on a plane in over a decade and the only time I’ve been out of the country in the past probably 15 years was for business and that was just to Canada, which isn’t on the other side of the world haha).
My job has been fairly stressful since the new year started and I’m just having bad luck in life in general haha. I’m hoping I’ll feel motivated again after my trip and the two weeks I’m taking off of work for it (I’m pretty sure I will, to be honest, I think I just need a break and I’ll be back in gear again. You know how it is when you have a job you’re meh about and you haven’t had a break in a while and you’re just kind of going with it - that’s basically it).
That being said, I don’t want to not write/be here for two months so I’m going to be hoping back over to Sylvain as my main focus ( @thornplucked) because I think it will be easier for me to just focus on a single-muse blog instead of stressing about a dozen muses at once, which I think might also be part of the problem (and then I can figure out how to better organize everything here and not stress about that either haha). Plus, Sylvain’s dash is used to me being slow as all heck and just vanishing so I feel like there’s a bit less pressure when it comes to me responding in a timely manner.I think it will help get the creative juices (ew) flowing again, as well since I’m not spreading myself thin over a bunch of different muses.
I still love writing with all of you, I just don’t want to force myself! Like I said, I’ll be back here after my trip and should be ready to go once I get over the awful jet lag I’m sure I’ll have! }
