Just checking in. I'm currently stuck on both Barbarian and The Sin Eater. I've finally taken both books to the point where they're finally giving in and my brain has just decided not to participate. Everything I write is garbage. I'll get the chapters out before the end of the week but I might need a couple days off-off to get my brain and confidence back. Thanks for understanding.

Take your time, we’d rather wait a bit than have your brain broken ❤️❤️❤️

I mean, I've said it before, I'd read your grocery list and be entertained. But..... take as long as needed. Your books are amazing and I know I'm 100% down to wait, so you can have it be exactly what you envision.

No worries. We’re on your time line. Not the other way around 🥰

Take your time! I think I speak for us all when I say we’d rather wait for you to feel ready and have something that you like and feel confident in rather than you just trying to bust out chapters that you hate and don’t feel authentic to please the masses!

I'm not going anywhere. Take all the time you need. ❤

Jessica Kaufman

We understand, take the couple the days off for you to recharge

Lauren Gibbs

Just like everyone else, I'd wait for any timeline if it means you're healthy and feel good about what you're putting out! 🥹💕 I can totally understand the struggle of brain not participating, it's truly so frustrating!

And when you get back to them, we know they will be amazing!

Don't stress! Or try t rush it. Write something fun that jumps out at you. Something core four? Or Beverly's demise? Cute scenes of the Mulvaney Boys as teens or kids?

Samantha Belman

Take whatever time you need. Your mental health is more important than immediate chapters. We’d rather wait because it will definitely be worth it all around.

Keagin Rose

We love you and will wait as long as you need! 🖤

take your time! you put way too much pressure on yourself- go decompress and read some fanfic for fun - it's a great pallet (sp?) cleanser 😉

Katrine Austin

Of course we understand. Take care of you.

Christina Overholt

Maybe write something fun and weird thats not to be posted and is unrelated to the worlds we know to give your brain a break from its sticking points? Or just take some all important couch time with a zero brain effort show :-) *hug*

Take care of yourself...Payton and Nico will be there when you are able to get back to their stories.

Sophie Williams

Don't force their stories if they aren't coming we can wait As someone else said write whatever comes even if its wierd or random about anything don't force it

Take all of the time you need to create a story that you are happy with. However, I strongly doubt that anything that you are writing is garbage. Take it or leave it, but I am a writer of legal documents, where almost every word has serious implications for the future contemplated by the legal document. Sometimes, I will write the same sentence/paragraph/section over and over again because I am unhappy with the words that my brain is producing and uncertain if the words will create the legal effect I need or sufficiently explain what I am trying to get across to the parties involved in the legal case or any future readers of the document. I think that the words are garbage. When I get to this point, I have a couple of people in the same field that I will share my garbage words with and, because I trust their opinion, will ask them their opinion of what I've written (i.e. is it garbage; does it get across what I need the words to convey). Sometimes when I'm just stuck and I'm uncertain how to even start writing what I need to, I will reach out to those people and brainstorm as a group about how the legal concept should be properly written in the document. While the other people have very different writing styles than I do, the discussion alone usually helps me have a breakthrough about what I need to write and confidence in the writing that I end up producing. I'm not sure if that method would help you (or if you already do something like this), but I wanted to share just in case it would help.

Sorry to hear your brain is being mean to you. Good that you are taking time and space! You are giving so much here. You do more, give more and are more than you give yourself credit for. Hopefully gentleness and kindness finds you quickly again.

Stacy Perry

You're doing great! You generate huge amounts of quality content and deserve to take however long you need to make the magic happen.

Take your time. I totally understand the brain not cooperating thing. It happens all the time. For what it’s worth, your work is not garbage. Thank you for everything ❤️

Melissa

Take care of yourself first and foremost! The muse will museth how it museth!!
