Taking A Break

[Cynus]

I believe it's come this this; the moment where I decide to take a break from what has been my obsession over the past two years. Motivation has fled from me, and it has taken with it the ability to write, and I need to take action.

 

And so I will be stepping away from my writing to do some soul searching. Perhaps I'll finally invest some time into reading, or perhaps do some editing for a little while. I don't know, but what I do know is that I clearly can't keep up this pace; at least not while I'm also battling depression and a life that is otherwise not what I want.

 

I anticipate a return in the fall, though I don't know if that will happen for certain. It depends on if I find my motivation again, and also a belief that my writing is actually doing some good, which is really all I ever wanted. At the time being I can barely bring myself to write a hundred words in a day, and rarely do I find any of those words to be of any worth.

 

To compound this issue, I've recently taken a number of hits from well-intentioned people who have managed to hurt me accidentally. I know they meant no harm, but the damage is done nonetheless. I need some time to really get my game back together and to really find belief in myself and my abilities again.

 

I apologize in any way if this affects you, and hope that you'll see that I need it.

 

Peace and love.

Cynus,

Sometimes we all need to step away and regroup. We hope to see you back soon but only when your ready. In the meantime enjoy some you time.

Sorry to hear you are struggling. I have enjoyed reading Navigator and look forward to when you can continue it.

I also greatly enjoyed your entry in the AoL story contest.

 

Take care,

Jeikor

Thank you for the support. To clarify, this will NOT affect the posting of The Navigator, as the story is finished and all the chapters are already submitted. It will continue to post every week, I'm just not writing anything new.
