A brief hiatus (Patreon)

Hello everyone,

I have a bit of news - I'm taking a month off. I'll get into why momentarily but the most important bit of news for patrons is that I have paused the billing cycle so you will not be charged for February. Patron contributions will resume in March, when I make my return.

It's a tricky (and somewhat scary) decision to put a channel on hiatus for a whole month. Maintaining momentum is really important when making video online, as is checking in with the community.

That said, I am simply a bit burned out at the moment. I was hoping for a good reset over the festive break last year but between the dog being sick and some other stresses, it didn't really happen. Over the past month my partner has also been quite unwell, which has been scary and draining for the both of us (especially them).

A friend asked me yesterday when I last took more than two weeks off work in a row. I realised the answer to that question is 2008, which on balance probably isn't great. So that's the long and short of it - sorry to make myself absent from your screens, but it really does feel like the best decision. I'll still be around on the discord in dribs and drabs but other than that, I will see you in March.

Johnny
