Though I'm sad to hear that you will be cancelling this season, real life has to come first, and you can't force that passion to come back. Given how highly you thought of the season and the cast, this clearly wasn't an easy decision for you to make, but it feels like it's probably the right one.

I remember that chat we had a little while ago where we talked about how we had similar approaches and mindsets regarding our writing. You had mentioned that you take pride in adding the finer details into your writing to make it just how you like it, and that style of writing takes time and energy, which you just don't have sometimes when real life gets in the way. If you rush an episode to get it out quickly, it can feel like the quality is just not there, leaving you disappointed. Yet at the same time, when you take that extra time to keep the quality, it leaves you disappointed because you don't think you're putting out enough.

I want to echo what Teal has said and encourage you to keep on writing - but on your own time without the added pressure of posting a season, and Survivor or otherwise. From reading Arabia especially, it is clear that you are a very talented writer and that you were having a lot of fun writing those seasons. I encourage you to just write for you, and you alone, so that you have no time constraints, and no pressure to post, and to just keep these stories because you enjoy them and have fun making them. That way, if you feel like you want to take a break from writing, or stop your current project and move on to something else, you can make that decision without any guilt or the need for an explanation. Just be sure to take care of yourself, first and foremost. :)
