Taking a Break

[strangetomato]

I know that I said I was going to post an update this week, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm going to be taking a break from this for a while. I'm not sure if this will just be a week or so, or more than that, but I really need to take a big step back from it all.

I apologize to everyone who is following the story. I appreciate all of your kind words and helpful feedback on what I've done so far, even if I haven't been replying properly to everything lately. I just feel really exhausted, and that's probably not something I should be feeling from writing a sim story. (I have other reasons, but I don’t really want to talk about personal issues in this journal.) I'll probably be dropping back to try to catch up on responding to those comments, here and there, but I'm not going to post anything new for a while.

So, that said, I wish you all the best. I will be back, eventually. I'm too caught up in this silly story to abandon it completely.

A break sounds like the perfect thing if you're not enjoying the story making process.

Plus a break can make you come back with more possiblities and a renewed interest.

That's very true. I feel like I'm just pushing through it without any passion, even though I was excited about some of the events in that chapter. The writing process is just feeling exhausting right now. Definitely time for a little restorative break.

Yeah, that's what I hope will happen. Maybe I should try a couple of drabbles again, or something. That might help me to get the wheels turning again.
