User blog:MightyUke416/Mozambique Status Update

Hey y'all!

I want to start off this blog by saying that Survivor: Mozambique is NOT in danger of being deleted, so to those of you that got spooked by the title of this blog because you enjoy following the season, do not panic too much.

In saying that, it has come to my realization that it has been nearly two months since I began my current episode Something Truly Wonder-Stupid, and to me, that's just way too long to finish one episode.

The reason the episodes this season have been taking so much longer than normal is mostly due to the fact that I am now working full time. In addition though, aside from family obligations, I've found that there have been evenings when I sit down to go and write something, and I am just too exhausted to actually begin writing, so I put it off, and I tell myself "tomorrow," the vicious cycle continues, and the episode takes forever to finish.

When I started this season, I was super stoked because this was my personal favourite cast of the four seasons that I've worked on, hands down. Heck, it is STILL my personal favourite cast of my series thus far, and I am proud to say that the work that I have put out for this season has been some of my proudest. When I look ahead to future episodes, there are times that I find myself quite giddy because I am so excited for what is to come, and to put it out there for all of you.

Unfortunately, with how exhausted I've found myself some days, I'm beginning to think more and more that I need a break to recharge my batteries, as it were. I don't want to put writing off anymore out of exhaustion/lack of motivation, to the point where I rush through an episode to finish it because it's been too damn long in my mind, thus ending up with something lower quality. In addition, November is consistently one of my busier months in terms of family obligations, especially this year seeing that I work full time.

So here's what is going to happen. My goal is to finish my current episode within the next couple of days (hopefully before November 1st). I will then take a break from writing, though I will be putting the next episode's page up so it's there when I come back to it. This break will last for about a month, and I am determined to fully get back into the swing of things starting December 1st. Fanon writing, and this wiki in general, mean so much to me, and I can't stand being at the point where I feel like I need to force myself to write some days. If I take this month long break, it will be the longest break I've taken from writing since the spring of 20-freaking-15, and I've just realized how insane that is. I want to start having fun with this again, and I know that the fire is there based on how excited I am for future episodes, I just need to re-ignite it.

For those of you following the season, I know you've waited too damn long to see the conclusion of this episode, and I know I would be disappointed in myself if I just took the break now without finishing because to me, it wouldn't be fair to do that to you. I just want to get back to a point where I am finishing an episode every couple of weeks, as opposed to every couple of months. So yeah, break will start once this episode is complete, and as I said, it will last about a month to allow me to re-charge my batteries, and I will be back to the swing of things in the beginning of December (hopefully Saturday the 1st).

To those who are following Mozambique, and have followed my seasons in the past, I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart because it means so much to me. I'm sorry if I'm disappointing you by taking this break after this current episode, but I feel that it is needed, and I hope you will all be there when episode 10 begins.

Sincerely,

Uke
