Hello again, everyone!
Those of you that have been getting comms from me lately, discord members, and friends may have been seeing it.
No, it's not burnout. I'm fine.
However, if you compare the speed that I churn out comms now to my first year, you can see that there's a big difference. I can't get a 12k story done in a week anymore. What happened?
I'm gonna lay it down straight for ya.
My current job's work schedule changes every week, sometimes mid week. I work the weekends half the time and those are my days to really crank shit out. On top of that, I have responsibilities as a life partner now. The work/life balance is tough when work keeps changing, and the comms help pay rent, but isn't the main source of income for it. Some nights I get home from work and I have so many responsibilities that I don't have time for writing at all!
Yes, it's taking me a lot longer to open comms, get work done as fast, and it's frustrating me just as much as it is those of you waiting for a chance to get a story from me.
That being said though, life takes priority and comms don't. My fiancee is always #1 and work pays the bills, not these stories. My work speed may not be what it was, but I'm still getting things done. My writing is just as much a passion for me as it is a side hustle.
So those of you looking to get a comm from me:
Be patient. I'm still here. I'm still writing. Stories for me and stories for others, just not as fast as my first year.
