I'm taking a small break<3
Added 2021-01-06 11:04:21 +0000 UTCHey everyone! I hope you all had a great start into the new year!^^
I'm sorry for being so silent lately and not posting anything! It's not that I didn't try but somehow I'm in this creative block where I'm unhappy with what I'm drawing at the moment:/
It's not like anything I have experienced before but I also understand that I put myself under a lot of stress which possibly enhances it even more:D
I love making the parcels and content every month but don't want to put out anything half heartedly that I'm not happy with or that I wouldn't be excited to receive myself if that makes sense! And I obviously don't want to charge you for that!
So I decided to take a break on the parcels and pause the billing cycle for the next charge (February first) to give myself time and find out where this block is coming from and hopefully come out as a better artist!^^
What does this mean for you?
I will pause the billing for this one time and you won't be charged in February
The billing will resume afterwards and the next charge will happen on March first which is when I will be sending out parcels again!
As of now, I have no idea how the month will progress for me but I will still be posting on here if I make anything I'm happy with or if there are any updates!<3
I might just need to shake my routine up a little bit after doing a lot of the same things for a while now and I want to give myself a little time and space for that. Thank you all so much in advance for being so sweet and understanding!<3 Every time I come on here or read the Discord I'm just overwhelmed by what we have built here over time and how amazing you all are!
Thank you!
(is this my art midlife crisis?:D I don't know haha! But every time I felt myself being blocked like this, it meant I was just about to level up in some way or learn something new so I'm not scared but excited for what this will bring! If you are in a creative block as well right now please know that this is normal and every artist deals with it, you are not alone!<3 What I usually do to help with it and what I will do now is do some simple studies in my sketchbook, take a class, watch Bridgerton, draw something super easy and in my comfort zone when I feel ready. We got this!)

Aw thank you!<3 And no worries, I'll be still posting on here, I'm just taking a break on the parcels!^^

2021-01-06 12:57:13 +0000 UTCIch kann das alles nicht so gut in Englisch ausdrรผcken, daher mal in deutsch. Du warst letztes Jahr wirklich echt kreativ und produktiv, es ist ganz normal, dass dein Kรถrper und Geist dann mal sagt: โ Stop, wir brauchen mal ne Pause!โ Nimm dir die Zeit fรผr dich, schalte ab und genieร das Zeichnen fรผr dich. Es ist schlieรlich das, was dir ja eigentlich Freude bereitet. Jeder hier kann das verstehen und die meisten sicher auch nachvollziehen. Also mach dir kein Kopf und genieร die Auszeit, egal wie lange sie dauert. โค๏ธ

2021-01-06 12:18:08 +0000 UTCHonestly, you've been creating like crazy for so long, it's quite normal to get overwhelmed and tired. I think you should take your time and rest, find what brings you passion to create again and wait until you get satisfied with your art again. We'll be waiting for you, so please, don't push yourself too hard. ๐

2021-01-06 11:09:35 +0000 UTCI'm happy to hear you're taking a break to focus on yourself! It's super super important and something I wish our society normalized. I totally agree I feel like you're on that one level where it seems like you just can't find the way through until it suddenly clicks and you're able to get moving again. Definitely been there before! Rest up and take care of yourself! Thanks for always being so transparent!
