Hi everyone.

I’m making this post to explain a bit what’s been going on with me. I don’t even know if any of you have noticed, but I’m not on the site that much these pasts months, and I haven’t posted, or even written at all, since the end of May.

That’s because I’ve been sick. Very recently I’ve been diagnosed with an IBD, which is an autoimmune illness, that attacks the intestines. I won’t get into the details of my condition, because honestly, it’s a bit gross, but I’ll say that I have been feeling tired a lot, and haven’t had a proper night of sleep for more than 2 months.

Due to all that’s happening, I’ve completely stopped writing, not by choice, but because I just don’t have the mental strength to anymore.  It’s very frustrating to me, because I know very well what I want to write, but it just doesn’t come out. This feels very similar to times when I had writer’s blocks, except now I know very well where the story is going, but the words just don’t come out, and if I try to force myself to write, it just looks like something a 5 year old typed.  (Even while writing this note, it took me forever to finish, because I kept writing sentences that didn’t make sense.)

I was starting to feel crazy, and getting stressed trying to write a chapter, and stress only made my condition worse, so I decided to take a proper break. I don’t know exactly for how long I’ll be on hiatus for, but I have to be well rested to go back to writing. For now, I’ll just work hard on getting healthy again, because even though my IBD doesn’t have a cure (yet), I know I can feel better than how I currently feel.

I’ll make a little note when I come back, but ‘till then, I’ll be gone.

 I love you all! See you soon (hopefully)!
