December and Beyond

General
I'm thinking a lot about the future; right now. As it stands I'm not sure when I'll be taking commissions again, apart from rare special cases here and there. I feel like I should, because I still struggle a lot with what I should be able to do, versus what I actually can do.
But maybe I also just need a long-term break. I appreciate all the support but I'm severely burnt out and, while I don't necessarily need commissions to be fun or challenging, I need to be able to focus on them, and right now it feels like the time and energy I'm spending trying to write is mostly going up in smoke in the air. I need a change of pace for a little bit. So I do apologize to the people I've kept waiting, and the people who were hoping to commission me soon, but it doesn't feel like the ability is... there.
I will finish my owed commissions, that shouldn't be a problem, and everything should be done before the end of the year. But I'm still figuring out what I need to do to get the ball rolling again.

Take care of yourself Zer, and try not to let self doubt about what you're doing get you down. The struggle of figuring ourselves out never has an endpoint, it's always ongoing and has plenty of hills and valleys to it. Hopefully some time to relax without expectation will help smooth things out!
