azure edge hiatus tiiiiiiime · 2:07pm Oct 16th, 2020
so y'all may have noticed lately that the azure edge update schedule lately has been... non-existent lmao. i think i've said "i'll be back at [specific time]" and missed the time i said at least twice now. and i thought i was having trouble cuz i was dealing with my chronic illness (which again, not life threatening or anything so no worries), or cuz life was just kicking my ass for a bit, but i'm over the hump on both of those things and i'm still struggling to put words on the page.
and it's not cuz i don't know what to write either; i have plans for the next two azure edge arcs at least that i'm RLY excited about!! i think these arcs are gonna be wicked good! but i dunno. i'm just not able to actually write them, and i can't figure out why. honestly?? i'm probably just burnt out. y'know i've been working on this same story almost every single day for more than a wholeass year?? and i LOVE this story, don't get me wrong, but that's still a frankly backbreaking amount of work i've put into it, and i think i've earned myself a wee bit of time to relax. not try to build up a buffer, not take a short break, but like honestly relax for a bit.
so when will i be back?? dunno yet. i'll figure it out when i get there. tho honestly i'm not actually Going anywhere, which brings me to my next point: Sunlight Underground. i'm still gonna be updating that! i have quite a few chapters of buffer still to go, and honestly like i think i might be good to write that story. i haven't been writing that one for a year lmao. tho we'll see what happens when\if i run outta buffer i guess. i wanna keep writing cuz that's what i love to do, but i think first and foremost i need to RELAX, so i'm not gonna make any concrete plans for the future at the moment.
for now?? it's chilling time
I will always advocate taking a break. Taking care of yourself should always be a priority.
We talked about this before but take as long as you need! Your health comes first. Don't make me drive all the way to your house to force you to take a break >:(
