Hey guys, I know I literally posted today about how I’m excited and going to try new things and experiment with writing from new perspectives, but I need to confess something… I’m not sure I’m having fun anymore. I love the stories I’ve made, but recently it’s been getting harder and harder to write without being frustrated or putting myself in anxious mood. Just these past two weeks I’ve scrapped more drafts for river city girls and overlord stories than I can count. Working on them hasn’t made me happy. That’s not to say I don’t enjoy writing, because this last konosuba snippet and my Christmas one shot were fun to make and I want to do more stuff like them. But more and more often it feels like I have to force myself to write. It forms help that my new job has started and it’s already the busiest season of the year and it’s stressing me out.
That’s why starting tonight, I’m putting my ongoing stories on hiatus and taking some time to focus on myself and figure out what I want to do going forward. There might still be the occasional one shot or post to My Bunch of Stories, but for the foreseeable future I’m going to stop trying to force it and instead just see what happens. I’m not quitting writing, rather just taking some time to decompress, think, and explore other hobbies I’ve neglected since becoming a writer as I figure out what I want to do in the future.
I’m sorry to do this, but thank you all for the support and positive reception you’ve given me.
