Hello beloved listeners, readers, etc.
I'm sure you all have notice the lack of content for a while. I am sorry to announce that Hobbies Include: Writing is going to continue an official indefinite hiatus. I have been fairly open about my mental health on this podcast, and I will be open again to say that it is a factor in this hiatus announcement. Blood That Binds is an extremely personal story for me, and cuts close to many of the wounds I am still healing from in my own life. I wrote the first half of that story when I was in a very dark place. As I couldn't get out of that place at the time, this story was one of my few outlets. Writing it, and looking forward to sharing it with all of you, kept me going through some very necessary shadow work. However, even the darkest of nights will end. I am not in that dark place now, and I am learning more and more that there are phases to healing. The phase I am in at the moment includes learning to relax and to enjoy the good and loving things and people around me. Taking joy in my life is, for me, a glorious and rebellious act of self-love that I have been denied far too much. While I love creating, and creating this show specifically, my recent attempts to finish writing Blood That Binds at this time threaten to pull me back into that dark place. Though I do not think I am done with shadow work in my life, now is a time to take a healthy break from it. I do intend to finish Blood That Binds, and to share the end of that story with you. For now, I am going to take some much needed time away, and work on other projects - perhaps ones that celebrate the hard-one joy that I am learning. In the meantime, I encourage you to continue to support creators. There are many of us out there, little creators giving our passions and opening up our hearts. Find those that inspire you, and earn your attention.
