More burned out than I thought · 10:47pm Mar 24th, 2021
Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.
Shocking, I know.
Now, suddenly my Patreon has gone back up to pre-pandemic levels again thanks to two very generous patrons and I have mixed feelings. I want to step up for those who have shown me such support, and also just… actually write, which I've failed to do so far this year—but at the same time the fact that I still haven't managed to really get back into the mindset of turning a desire to tell a story into actual words on screen leaves me feeling like I haven't actually solved anything these past four months. Maybe that's not so surprising though. Problems rarely solve themselves through inaction.
I'm not promising new chapters right away, but I guess it’s time to do something.
I've been hooked on your horsewords for just about eight years now; I know they're worth waiting for, and you put out a lot of chapters last year. Statistically speaking, we're still above average, eh?
So it's all good from this side.

I love your profile pic. Just gets me chuckling.
Something is generally better than nothing. Looking forward to seeing what the something is.
Feels.
That's all I can offer.
Good luck.
Good luck!
May haps you still need the break.
Not writing but I'll paint projects for a month straight at night, then leave the last three half done for two months until I finally make myself do a few hours just to clean it all up. Then a few months later BAM! Another dozen suddenly.
When your creativity flows is great but there is always down time until the next spark. We can force a little, but don't do that too much.
Take care and I hope to see your stories when you are ready to show them.
Eh don't worry about it.
I haven't written in 5 or 6 years
It's good to hear from you.
If you can’t believe in your writing ability believe in the me that believes in the you that believes in your writing ability’s extant value distinct from your capacity to invoke it on command.
