Hello again!

The last time I wrote anything for Elixir of Power book 2 was 6th October.

I've been consciously taking a break from writing, but it doesn't feel very restful. I'm not lacking for inspiration. I'm not unsure of what to write next. I know what to do and how to do it. I just feel burnt out.

Hopefully this time off will help me recover. In the past, I've been fine after just a short break or two in the middle of drafting. This time, even after about two weeks, I still don't feel much like getting back on the horse.

Part of the burnout seems to be coming from the fact that the size and complexity of the trilogy is a bit overwhelming. I think it would be manageable if I lived in a secluded cottage with nothing but a typewriter. But that's the thing—life happens. It's hard to mentally juggle plot points and life admin and other obligations.

I'm busier in general these days, and especially so these past few weeks. I feel like all the quiet time that used to go towards writing is now going towards recovery.

So why not lean into it and just recover? I'll be recovering as long as I need. I wish I had better news for you this week, but there it is.

In the meantime, why don't we all just find some books to read? There are plenty of books below by authors like me. Have a look and see if you find something you like!

(To make up for the lack of news on my writing, I packed a few extra for you.)
