The End
I'm ripping the band-aid off.
I've been trying to push myself to write as much as I could this month, only to end up with barely anything done, and feeling nothing but exhaustion from forcing the work to happen. Usually I could manage somewhere in the realm of 2-4k words a night, but most days this month I was only able to get a few hundred words done no matter if I gave myself 1 hour or 10. While that's not necessarily the end of the world, what stresses me the most is that my writing feels forced as a result, and I'm not happy with posting that kind of quality.
And that led me to realize that I've completely tapped myself dry. The creativity well is at its lowest point it's ever been, and no amount of wringing out any remaining drops is gonna help at the moment.
Because of that, I'm taking an extended break where I'll be doing literally anything else other than writing so that my brain has a genuine chance to recharge. This is something clearly overdue with how bad the problem's gotten.
So, yeah, I'm going to go ahead with pulling the plug on this site at the end of the month as usual, I just wanted to explain what's going on. Between these issues and Patreon requiring adult creators to provide additional identification to prove their age, my stress level has been constantly high.
To assuage anyone's concerns, anything posted here will be posted to my galleries so there's no fear in missing out on something you liked. When that might be, I don't know, but they'll be there. Also, I'd like to get done the remaining stories that I was going to do. When those will be finished, I also don't know, but they'll go up in the future.
I wish things could've ended on a happier note, but I'm not gonna let this be the end of me. I've learned a lot from my time here, it's just unfortunate that most of it happened within the last couple months.
Thank you all for sticking with me this long. I couldn't have done any of this without you.
