Taking a short break + minor news (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

As many of you know my writing / posting has become a little erratic lately. I've been desperately trying to keep up my eight chapter a week schedule, however, no matter what I tried I have been unable to regain the focus that I managed to maintain for the last 4ish years.

Yesterday a friend of mine suggested that I was suffering burnout. At first I kind of brushed the suggestion off, I haven't felt particularly tired; however, after thinking about it for awhile I realized they might be right, and after I admitted that I realized how mentally drained I feel lately.

I was planning on finishing the week out, and taking all of next week off, but when I got up this morning I just didn't have any motivation to write. I was too tired, and I had the start of a migrane.

I tried so hard to start, but brain says no.

So, I'm changing my plan. I'm still going to take a couple days off, but I'm going to start today, and try and pick up my writing again around Wednesday / Thursday next week.

I know this is sudden, and I appoligize for that, but I think it's nessisary.

Now, for the good news. I've mentioned a couple times that I've wanted to publish TBoB book 1 for a while now, but I lacked the art. Well, did a lot of the prep and admin for that and in exchange Birb paid for a cover for me. So I've got that.

Yesterday I had a long discussion with RD about how he found a publisher, and if he had any suggestions if I wanted to publish TBoB. He gave me some ideas, and I started making inquries with a publisher he suggested. If they reject me I'll go ahead with Amazon, and I may even investigate some audiobook options he told me about.

That's what I'll be working on over the next week, if/when I feel up to it. Now, don't expect these to appear tomorrow, just know that I am actively working on them.

That's it for now. Again, sorry for the short notice, hope you all understand.

Thanks all,
