Failure notice

Cant speak for others obviously, but your stories are consistently great to read and think about. If you need more time to keep up that quality, then take however long you need

Bro that’s life - art takes however long it takes. Please don’t feel like ya gotta push yourself to meet arbitrary deadlines

Jim

Understood! Reminds me of when I was working on some digital art and spent an hour re-drawing the same curve non-stop and the day after just re-drawing that layer over and over (including that first curve I wasn't satisfied with.)

Definitely this! Also have felt the pain of having to backtrack considerably (though nothing published as yet) in a story because of realizing it's Just Not Right (tm). It sucks but it feels so much better once you're on the right path again.

Hey, we're not paying for a service - we're supporting you because we like what you do. Take care of yourself, OK?

Mickey Phoenix

I really appreciate your hard work. I appreciate the care and the craftsmanship that you bring to this endeavor. I appreciate your unwillingness to compromise on quality. I appreciate your dedication to producing the finest quality writing you possibly can, for us to enjoy. But there's something I appreciate even more than all of those things. I appreciate when you take the time to take care of yourself. To let your mind recover. To take a deep breath, or a week's worth of deep breaths, and give yourself permission to sometimes need a little extra time and a little less stress to do your best creative work. I appreciate when you are able to exercise the self-compassion needed to take care of yourself when you are having a rough mental health time. It's a million times easier to say that to someone else than to do it for oneself; I know that from my own experience. So I will just remind you that if anyone else was dealing with what you are currently dealing with, you would be telling them that it's okay to take the time they need to get well. You would be telling them that there's no terrible rush, that it's all right to sit down and take a mental breather from time to time, that you want them to put their health and their well-being first. And that's what we want you to do. We'll still be here, and we'll still be supporting you, whenever the plotting is done, and whenever the next chapter is ready to read. There are a million cliches for this situation. Sharpen the saw. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Something about a hairy turtle, I dunno. But the truth is, even if it *wasn't* the best way to get more of your wonderful writing, we'd *still* want you to take care of yourself first. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Take care of yourself first and foremost!

I'm fine with waiting personally. I know from experience how traitorous brains can be sometimes. Love every chapter you put out, and I'm looking forward to the next.

I'm really happy that you've become better able to recognize these patterns before they get really bad these days. Best wishes, and see you next update, dude.
