A late announcement · 6:28am Feb 23rd, 2016
I'm going on a writing break. I don't know how long it'll be, but I need it.
I've just been burning myself out a lot recently. A combination of the collab and a conversation with someone on MLPForums made me actually realize this and realize that I need to stop doing that if I want to actually write shit that's good.
Plus, as much as it makes me sound like an asshole, I feel pretty bad that the collab didn't do much of anything to help me out. Don't get me wrong, I feel great that Anathema got a good start out of it. I feel like I got nothing out of it, though. Looking at my stories, none of the likes or dislikes seem to have changed. I didn't gain or lose any followers. The only thing that happened was an increase of how many views I got.
I feel like I got nothing after putting hard work into something. The story part of the collab wasn't much, but I still put a lot of effort into it. I'm kind of seeing this as having to work a week and some hours of overtime, but not getting paid for the entire week. The collab's the overtime and my unfinished WIP's are the regular work week.
I guess the break is going to be a mental recovery break, too.
Actually, this whole blog is probably pointless since almost nobody reads them or replies to them and I haven't done shit with a story on here since mid-December.
