Hello everyone!
I know I've been inconsistent lately with my Rose Garden posts. The past couple of months have seen some rapid shifts for me and I worry there'll be many more moving forward. These aren't necessarily bad changes! Most of them are actually exciting (going back to school after spending way too long believing it was pointless, as an example)!
However, with how busy I've been it has become a struggle to juggle my personal life, various other responsibilities, and my (multiple) SimLit projects. I've come to realize that the past few Rose Garden posts have felt forced, like my need to post regularly is overtaking my inspiration for the story. At the same time I've recovered from an inspiration lull with my other stories that I'm trying to take advantage of while I still have the time and motivation.
So with all of that being said, I don't plan to stop Rose Garden at all - I love these silly Sims way too much! I don't even want to say I'm going on a hiatus from it, because I don't expect it will be that long. I just need to step back and take a break before I burn myself out.
Ideally I'd like some time to gradually work up a buffer of chapters again, so that I can get back on a schedule. I'm thinking I will take at least a month away, as my classes begin in the middle of this month and I'll need some time to adjust.
In the meantime, I will continue to work a bit more regularly on my other story,
Entangled Among the Branches.
I'm sorry for the lack of posts there have been and will come for a little while, but I promise I'll be back at it soon enough!
Much love ❤
