Burnout

To all of my readers -

I am so very sorry. I haven't even felt much like reading recently. In fact, I didn't read anything for almost a week. Then I got Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, from the library. Now I'm reading again. ^_^

I tried to take on too much. In addition to maintaining this blog, I started a personal blog.

And I volunteered to help with a multitude of projects. After a couple of weeks, I began to feel overwhelmed. This all started back in early February. Late last month, I got to the point where I felt like I was failing everything I attempted.

I became so afraid of failing everyone, myself included, I just sort of seized up. I still need to contact some of those I offered to help and let them know why I didn't. Some of them may see this post, but most will not.

I haven't written a single review this month. I just - a few minutes ago - posted something on my personal blog for the first time in four weeks. That was only a small thing, part of a meme I try to participate in weekly (The Friday 56, which [I think] began here).

I will still be maintaining this blog, though I can not promise I will post often. I still want to do a review a week, but I don't know that I will be able to stick to that schedule. I have several reviews to catch up on as it is, so I can't make any promises.

I shall try.

Thanks for understanding,
TuraLura

  1. Better take it easy! Burnout is no fun. I spent last summer hovering on the edge of it, thanks to all the busy-work involved in seeing my second book launched. Really makes you realize how wonderful lazy days can be!
