if u are struggling with ideas for ur htryds manga how about we give you some? Would that help?

Nope lol. XD

Friend, ideas are not the problem. I am a cesspool of ideas. I am constantly drowning in ideas. Ideas are the reproducing bunnies and I am the trenchcoat they gather in.

The hiatus happened because I got burned out, because ideas jumping in my head does not equate to me having the energy or the braincells to put them to paper. Plus as I have said before, some irl stuff happened and I needed the emotional recovery time. Plus if you've ever experienced burnout, it has a fun side effect of being like a long-lasting statis-effect that shouldn't be as effective as it is. It sucks. Don't worry about me though, I'm letting the plot bunnies run amok and have fun in my head and enjoying my indulgent project so I am stockpiling dopamine I can use on command for creative purposes. Thus is the cycle of a creative. I appreciate the patience

#htryds ask #if only i could dump ideas out of my brain and they write themselves #that would be so convenient #alas #there is effort to be had that my brain decided was the straw on the camel's back #burnout recovery is like needing physical therapy for the brain i swear #I know *how* to walk and I wanna walk but legs went jelly on me #blank word doc is mocking #that kind of thing #this metaphor got away from me #anyway with hope I shall be back in a month or so #trying not to give myself deadlines because then I feel bad when I miss it and make it worse #and i don't wanna make it worse
