Sorry I'm not here a lot these these

Hey guys, been wanting to say this…

So sorry I’m not here a lot these days. My writing habit here had digressed to just posting my post of the day, and then on to the next task. No time for reading and replies.

As the maker of this site, I do feel a sense of obligation to be more present here. Though having said that, most days I don’t need that obligation though, because it’s thoroughly enjoyable reading all your posts and commenting on them.

Just that these days… I’m still terribly burned out.
Still trying to recover.
Still trying to get scrape the day.

Still not figured out a good way to balance freelance work while getting time for my indie products. And with the days fighting survival still fresh in my mind, I’m leaning more towards just earning the money first, worry about lack of time and energy later.

So there. That’s why I’ve not been here a lot.

Sorry, mateys.

I’ll be back.
I always do, anyway.

(I’ll still write daily though! #TeamStreak)

Burnout is incredibly difficult, and the last thing you need is to put more “shoulds” on your list (which only leads to a sense of shame). I bet you’re doing way better than you think you are. ❤️

Jason, we appreciate the space you’ve created for us to write, maintain a writing habit, and connect with other community members. And while your replies are appreciated, you don’t need to feel obligated to engage with us. The community is carrying itself, so don’t worry about doing more than what you’re already doing. 😄
