Writer's Burnout

[tickle gamer]

Hi All! I just thought I'd post, and let you know that it might be a while until I post another story. I'm going through a bit of a burnout.

I think that I pushed myself too hard doing those last few stories, but, I was trying to help people stay entertained in this time of social distancing.

Sorry to my fans out there. I'll try to get back to it as soon as I can.

P.S. I know this isn't a story, or a request, but it's about my writing future, so, I thought it belonged here.

It's alright... Everyone burns out every once in a while

It happens. All I can really say is take a break and try not to force it. Trying to make yourself write when you're struggling to find the motivation leads to both a headache and stories you won't view as favorably looking back.

I’ll second this. One of the first things I learned as a writer is that you shouldn’t force it.

Take a break, do something you enjoy, relax. The story will come to you.

Thanks for understanding, everyone.

I totally get it. A few days ago I posted my first short story since my fanfiction days, with more on the way. You'll get through it too.
