Hello there :)
I'm realising this is a bit late notice - and apologies for that - but it's taken me a while to get to this conclusion because I've been overthinking it. I'm planning to take a posting break for a while. There's no chapter this week because I couldn't get myself to write it - after weeks of trying very hard to keep up with a schedule I think I might have hit a wall and need time to recalibrate.
I'm working on and through a lot of things irl, which I'm sure has played a big role, alongside it being an unusually hot summer and summer being a difficult time for me health-wise. But I don't want to rush or force anything, especially when I've been through burnout before and writing through it didn't go that well. So I'm taking some time off - I don't know how long right now because I only made the decision very recently. At the least I need a real chance at making an actual buffer again, which I'm consistently finding that one missed week isn't enough for. And possibly to figure out if I'm coming up against an issue with the plot itself that needs fixing before I move forward, which I need a bit of breathing room to find.
Thank you for your patience in this! I hope not to be too long. I appreciate all the support on the series through the years, it's had its hiccups before haha. In the meantime, take care of yourselves <3
