Burnout and mental health - No chapters next week (Patreon)

Hey all!

First thing first - no chapters next week, along with the normal admin week. Sorry. Refunds available to any who want them. Details below.

About a year and a half ago I started to struggle with burnout. That created admin week, to give myself a bit of time to decompress and catch up on all the work that was piling up. Well, as things have gone on, I've been getting busier and busier, working more and more on BTDEM. January in particular was crazy.

I know what I want to say, what I want to write. But I'm struggling so hard right now to actually WRITE. I know if I force it, we'll get a long streak of bad chapters until someone hits me over the head and forces me to take a break. I'm heading this off now by taking the break a bit early, so we all don't need to suffer through a ton of poorly done chapters, or worse, me becoming so overwhelmed that I simply vanish and go on the indefinite hiatus that is so feared by all.

So sorry, there are no chapters next week. Fortunately, the most recent chapter is in a pretty good spot in terms of arcs - it's not like I'm leaving you all on a cliff or anything. This is on top of admin week, which is going to proceed as scheduled - I have a lot of work built up for it already.

Now, I completely recognize that by springing this on all of you, I'm not holding up my end of the bargain with regards to Patreon and how many chapters a month you all get. My deepest apologies. I'm happy to refund anyone who'd like a refund for the month, no questions asked. Just hit me up over Patreon messages, and I'll process it for you.

Thank you all for your understanding, and once again, sorry.

Cheers,

Selkie
