The most notes I got on was a post I made that reminded everybody that the premiere of Yugioh Arc-V is on April 6 in Japan. I have decided to RP crossovers with the Yugioh fandom which inspired me to write my crossover with Detective Conan and Yugioh. And what do you mean when you said you get an anxiety attack when you log on Tumblr?

I’ve seen like… one or two episodes of Yugioh. Man it was weird.

As for tumblr, well… There is a lot of drama surrounding my interactions here, and I’ve been reluctant to say much on the subject. Sufficient to say that the number of unanswered asks, unreplied-to drafts, and loose threads aren’t great for my stress levels… but there were problems beside.

Real life wise, there’s financial trouble like problems with taxes and people turning on the spigot outside of our house while we were at work costing us $350 in utilities for some reason…?? And my oldest brother was diagnosed with cancer and there are problems at work and my own health isn’t super fantastic…

And I mean, there’s all of that and the guilt and the stress and it’s so much so that I don’t even log onto skype most of the time because I can’t concentrate and accomplish things… so I’m trying REALLY HARD to just finish my novel so I feel worth while as a human being again, at least I hope? But I’m so tired from the commute and work and constant obligations that most of what I’ve been doing has just been cleaning my house and trying to learn how to relax… which is surprisingly difficult! 

Though I really miss RPing. I do. And I miss you guys. And Hakuba still talks to me all the time in my head, I just… 

It was getting to the point where I was convinced that everyone here hated me and wanted me gone, eager to replace and forget about me. And that’s probably just totally insane? And not healthy. 

So a break and an attempt to accomplish some personal goals and work through some things. I’m trying, I really, really am… 

But er, yeah…

tl;dr

I log on and see that people have “moved on” and that my drafts/inbox are still full and start freaking out all over again. 

Bad bad bad… 

Hiatus Update (OOC)

Love week is now over, so I will be very quiet on this blog for a while as I get caught up with stuff. I’ll still drop by to check up on things, maybe even a post or two here and there, but if you need anything, note me at my mod blog ( gabapple ) and I’ll try to get back to you asap. Part of my work will be focused on that novel blog ( salmoncoal ) – so feel free to follow if you want to keep up with my writing.

Thanks. <3

Semi-Hiatus (ooc)

My writing group is furious with me. Starting tomorrow, I’ve got daily homework to do before I can do anything on tumblr, and this is on top of my full-time 9-5 day job and commute. So I will have… much less time and energy to devote here. Not that I am going away, no (nor from Conan), but I will have to take a step back and be a little more passive. 

I will still be working on replies, but most of what you’ll see from me are IC journals and replies to asks as they require much less time/energy. I’m very sorry… but my WG is right. RP and playing about here is not going to get me published, as fun and as good practice as it is. I owe it to you, my readers, to improve my craft… and I won’t be able to do that unless I put some serious time and effort into it. 

Plus, I guess only sleeping 4 or so hours a night isn’t healthy or something. 

Also, yes, this means cutting back on skype, too. 

Hopefully I will establish a healthy, professional habit and knock my homework out when I get home from work within a couple of hours so that I can still play around with everyone in the evenings. If nothing else, there will be slow replies.

In theory, I’ll be done with the book in time for NaNoWriMo… which I intend to do and want to start a group of tumblr RPers who are also doing it, so let me know if you’re interested. 

…anyway, thank you.
