Gerry, I appreciate you such a lot! But just remember, you are not letting anyone down if you take a step back from those "responsibilities". We are all navigating writing, editing, and life the best we can and it's okay if things don't get done for a day or two. We are all here to pick up the piece.

I have been pretty exhausted too and have written less. It's summer, there's lots going on and everyone needing something.

Right now, I am also trying to concentrate on my home a bit too, since I have big changes happening here and need to allow myself time to prepare.

I am glad you are recognising your needs. But please, don't feel you have to show up for others before you show up for yourself. Big hugs 🧡
