Well, folks, it's happened. My mental health got away from me and I burned through my buffer (again). I'm getting help for me mental health, but until I'm a little more stable, I need to step back a bit.

I'm not going on another hiatus. I really don't want to do that again, because I want to keep putting out content for you all. So, I'm going to go to bi-weekly updates for a little while.

I might post extra content here or there, but I'm not going to stress about it. I want to keep things light and breezy, and focus on updating regularly in a manner that is sustainable for me.

What does this mean? Well, there will be a journal update on 3/18/2024 instead of a story. I will keep in touch on days that I don't post content, so that you know what's going on. The next story update will be a Hollin Arensen story (I'm about 2k words into that one as of yesterday) on 03/25/2024.

Now, a question for my readers:

Would you rather I stick with one storyline while I rebuild my buffer, or continue to post alternating stories? If I'm only updating once every other week, it means that my two stories that I'm posting here will only get updated once a month. If you'd prefer one story update at a time, which one would you like to see the most? Or, should I just post whatever's popped into my strange little head? I've got a few new story ideas that I've written down to tell (I've always got new ideas), and I have a few old stories I'd like to revisit, but I don't know if now is the time. Any feedback at all is helpful, and there's no bad ideas. Well, I can think of a few bad ideas, but y'all have been so kind and supportive that I doubt I'll get any truly awful ones.

TLDR: I'm cutting back to bi-weekly story updates, and I'm soliciting feedback about the content you'd like to see. Don't be shy, say hi!

Thanks for reading, and thanks for the continued support. You guys/gals/others are the reason I keep creating, and I'm excited to see where I can go from here!
