Family, Personal

Burnout; Hiatus

I probably should have known better than to follow a month of daily shows (the NaNoWriMo show I do in November) with another month of TWO daily shows – one of them video. So with the kiddo stressed about school and me stressed about a number of things, we’re stopping the Advent calendar videos.

I’m also putting I Should Be Writing on hiatus until January.

Ditch Diggers’ daily show will continue as Matt and I have a good rhythm going, and we have one more DD regular show to release. So no stoppage there.

This year I wrote two books and promised myself December to take some self care time, and that’s not happening. Partly because of my own poor planning and partly because of other projects, so I’m just taking time now to try to get as much off my plate so I can appreciate the holidays and get ready for the new year of projects coming up.

I hate starting projects and having them fizzle and die, but I think this is best for the mental health of the family and for recovering from the hectic work I did this year.
