I've decided- I'm going to be taking a mental health vacation.

There was a big build up of stress and creative burnout that I was trying to ignore over the last few weeks. I thought I could just immediately shift gears to making visual novels while still doing three comic pages a week. Not to mention all the other stuff I was doing. Realizing I was spreading myself too thin has brought me very close to *Burnout* burnout. So, I'm going to be taking some time off.

I'll be taking at least a week, maybe two, to not think about art and projects. I'll do my best not to brainstorm projects to get back to, won't draw all day everyday, and will even put my daily writing exercise onto hiatus. I'll still make social media posts (that's what the backlog is for- puhuhuhu!) And I won't stop myself from doodling "For Fun" if the urge takes me. But- I'm going to try to just- rest- let my brain turn off and be something other than a creator for a while.

Hopefully, this will be good for me. I didn't want to admit I pushed myself too hard last year. Nor let my expectations and hopes get the better of me. But, I did- and I need to reflect and come down from all that.

I'll still be around of course. Lurking... always watching.... just, resting more.
