How this month will go

So. I'm going to TL;DR this if you don't care and don't want to know about what's happening. You don't really need to, but I feel the need to at least explain myself. So.

TL;DR: There won't be any more polls this month. I'll be finishing out the remaining chapters yet to be written and then taking my week off as usual, to come back in April.

Now. For the reason why. And it's a few different things. One should be pretty obvious and happens to most people doing creative things. Simple burnout. Not gonna sugarcoat that. It's just what it is. I'm kind of at the end of my rope and need some time to reset properly.

A second reason is... Well, there are some things being shaken up in my life that are causing me massive stress, which makes it really hard to focus on the face of it, only exacerbated by...

The third reason! Health. So those things causing reason two kind of got to me all at once and I had an itty bitty panic attack. That wasn't great. What made it worse was me deciding it was a great idea to check my blood pressure (a going concern for me). So, being in the middle of a panic attack and getting a reading that suggests "Hey, have you maybe considered going to the hospital?" did not combine well. If nothing else, it has pushed me to take my health more seriously. That means exercise, which is good, and going well. Unfortunately it also means cutting back on caffeine which is my primary method of combatting ADHD.

Soooo... Bottom line, I'm going back and forth between my mind bouncing around like a ping-pong ball and sinking like a stone to the bottom of the ocean. This has not been conducive to getting writing done. I have been actively working on that GxG chapter that just came out for this entire week. It genuinely took that long, and while I admit it has some somewhat difficult and complicated perspectives involved, that alone would not make it take that long.

So, I need a break. I need a little time to get all my work in order, and get my head on straight. I'm sorry. But hopefully when I come out the other side of this next month (whatever that ends up meaning), we can get back to how things are supposed to go.

Thanks for understanding. And if you don't, and would rather cancel your subscription, more power to you. In your position, I would be at the very least considering doing the same.
