Taking a Needed Break
I will be back soon™
Hello, hi. It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted. I don’t think I’ve ever sat down and talked to my audience directly, so this could get really messy. But as some of you have noticed, my release cadence has been a bit hit or miss lately, and I think it’s time to tell y’all what’s going on.
Sigh, where do I start? First, I want to apologize. I know I’ve been MIA recently, but I’ve been in severe autistic burnout. There’s more to it, obviously. But I’ve just really had a hard time getting my thoughts together and putting pen to paper. As of right now, I currently have maybe half a dozen articles that are all partially written, none are completed or coherent in any way possible (including other drafts of this exact post).
My plan is to go back to those eventually and get them completed once I’m not so burnt out. I’d love to get them done as soon as possible. There are some serious hot takes in there that y’all are not ready for.
But that’s just part one. The main reason I’m taking a break is that I’m currently going through a divorce. Those who know me personally already know this. But this is my first time saying this publicly. I very wrongly assumed I’d be able to maintain work throughout the process.
I’m sure it’s noticeable through the few posts I’ve managed to get out over the last few months. I strive to put out the best work I could possibly produce. If anything wasn’t up to par lately, I am sorry.
How long am I taking a break for? That, I’m not quite so sure. I would love to get writing again as soon as possible. But I need to focus on not being burnt out. My hope is to be back sometime in December. To at least get my annual top et. al posts out. I’ve always enjoyed writing those posts. They are a lot of effort, but a lot of fun, and y’all really enjoy them.
Of course, I want to thank all of my subscribers, both paid and free. Y’all have given me the space to grow and learn. The space to express my thoughts and opinions. For all of you, thank you so much for being here. It means the world to me.
Y’all have given me constructive criticism where needed and, in many cases, helped me explore new music. Have all of them been a banger? No. But that’s to be expected. We all have our tastes and preferences. I’d rather y’all recommend something and I not like it versus never hearing it in the first place, y’know?
While I’m away, I’d like to open up the floodgates. Please shoot me an email or leave a comment on what you’d like to see next. It doesn’t have to be a specific album. It could be a topic you want me to explore or a product you want me to review. Please let me know!
But for real, thank you. Thank you all for supporting me through the last two years. It’s been a journey. While that journey is currently on pause, I look forward to going back to the regularly scheduled content soon.
