@PengOwl I am very late when it comes to giving my take on this (very in character for me-)
But I have a few things to say you should take with a grain of salt and pepper !
After experiencing so many hiatus and breaks myself, honestly the main thing you should remember is that this is a hobby !
You want people to see your story yes and you don't want too few people to do that of course-
But if you rush and force yourself it'll end up with another even longer hiatus potentially and a half-assed chapter-
Basically, what I'm trying to say is, take a break for as long as you like, do things you love and that make you happy, don't think about writing and hey, you can still write down skits/jokes etc that you wanna use !
So when you come back, you can use those-
This is all for fun after all and no one will rush you, but if people do, don't take it to heart and do what you wanna do !
Good luck recovering friend and I wish you the best on your writing journey o7
