Minimum Week Long Hiatus
Added 2023-06-21 17:13:05 +0000 UTCYo. So, yeah. Time for a full hiatus. On everything. Which sucks. But the facts are in, the truth is here. I'm not doing great lol. Financially, I make $500 a month to work my ass off writing 3 books. That's not living wages money. I don't have time to build a backlog, I'm getting burnt out, etc etc.
Simply taking a book down just isn't going to cut it. Gonna be real with you all, it could end up being longer than a week. I don't want to but I really need some time to just, survive lol. I will continue my books of course, but let me put you all in my shoes at around 8am today.
I woke up at 8am, and realized I still needed to write 3 chapters, 9k words, + an overdue commission of 7 words that I still needed done. That 9k needed to be done within 4 hours. It wouldn't be. And that same thing happened monday, and etc etc. And then I'd barely get it all done within the next 12 hours and I'd put off the commission I need to do. That single commission gets me $350 and writing around 110k words a month, vs 7, gets me $500. And I'm -400 this month. And I realized friday is going to be the same and the next week and the week after that. and that soon I'd be starting a part time job on the weekends because of how inconsistent commissions are. So even less time to write.
I can not lol. It's not enough money, it's not enough time. I'm hoping a week will give me enough time to get used to my new job, relax, build up a backlog, etc etc. Just in general recover both financially and mentally. But it might not. I can't really predict that sorta thing. So, it's been fun everyone. I'll come back, I love my books, and I have so much planned, but reality is reality. See ya when I see ya.

I really enjoy your books they bring me a little bit of happiness in my otherwise not so happy life. When I read them I can tell u have fun writing them and that brings them to life. So I don’t want them to to be a source of stress for u and if u need that hiatus please take as long as u need so u can get back to that place where writing this stuff is fun again. As long as your okay there will always be hope that we’ll get to see your stuff again. Anyway I just wanted to say that please take care of yourself.
