Sorry to hear it's finally taken its toll with the weekly set-up. If The Paw-Post is still greatly your passion, you could try and figure something that's a bit more bi-weekly which still keeps people in the loop enough, while giving you a bit of breathing room, or perhaps something that would work better on a monthly basis?

I'm unsure how heavy in content you'd want to make The Paw-Post though to make up for a monthly release, but I'm more looking at this with emphasis of giving you that spare time; as when it comes to jobs, especially poorly managed with the addition of any stress, I can sympathize with just needing that recovery time without feeling like you're committed to any obligation that would otherwise create more unneeded stress. After-all, no-one's forcing ya to do it, and ya shouldn't feel as such.

Much appreciated! It started as a sort of work of passion, but at this point it sits somewhere between that and being a real burden. I think what's made it so much of a chore is just the whole weekly list of picture links. If someone is "new" to the Paw-Post, that's a handy list, and they can learn of a lot of artists they maybe didn't know about before, but after a month (if that), they have them on their watch list, so for the veteran readers, the only content that is unique and interesting is the highlight (and perhaps our music choices and stuff).

Moving to something less frequent that focuses on the unique content like highlights might be better, and one of the ideas we've sorta thrown around is to have a website where people can go to see list of artists to watch, see links to all the highlights, and perhaps an active bulletin board of artists currently open for commissions. Problem there, of course, is website's cost money.

I'm sorry to hear about the time problems the Paw Post is bringing.
And sure, it's an interesting project, but by any means, something you and your colleagues like to do shouldn't be too devastating for your health and time schedules.

I'm sure we'll understand if you can change the Paw Post times from weekly to a bigger time gap, even monthly if you want.

Well, to be fair, the Paw-Post itself is not trouble so much as my schedule. If I had more free time, it wouldn't matter as much, but since that seems to be slowly diminishing, I have to be more picky about what I do with that free time.

One thing the Paw-Post has done though is diminished my ability to do other stuff like stories or art. Again, if I have only so much time to spare, I have cut doing one thing to do the other. On the plus side, changing the Paw-Post to something less frequent means there may be more art and stories starting to come from me. :)

If you want to keep doing a regular Paw-Post thing, I'd recommend aiming for a monthly release for now and dial back on the content too. You certainly don't want to collect a month worth full of paw content and compile that into a document, since that would basically still be the same thing. However you could do something like TC's Paw-Picks, which would be a collection of artworks that really stuck out to you over the last month and add a little description as to why they did. The interviews are of course always fun and doing only one a month should make it much easier. Something along those lines would seem like a doable reboot, so to speak. You can always add stuff later, so it's better to start small again. After all, this should be fun for you and not work ;P
