I'm back!

Hey everyone, 

Thank you for waiting, I have finished my 1-month break and now I will be working on Natsumi Love Story again, and The Daily Life of the Pan Hero after that. 

I've actually started working a little since Saturday, just rewriting for Natsumi Love Story's newest chapter since the quality was bad due to the lack of inspiration.  And now I think the quality is much better and inspiration keep flowing in thanks to the break.

I've also been reflecting on why I burnout, so I could avoid future burnout, and I think that the reason was because I was thinking about the games and the development almost 24/7 back then. I thought that was a good thing, because I love what I do, and like the quote say, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.". But at the end of the day, it's still work. There are some things that I don't actually enjoy, like picking music, fixing bugs, and sometimes even the part that I actually enjoy can be quite frustrating too.

So eventually my brain just fried and refuse to think about them anymore. The last two months before I took a break, I was constantly distracted, and it was really hard to just face the screen and actually do some work.

Not just that, I also kept thinking about the wrong thing. Instead of thinking about how I could improve the game, how to market the game, or what's the next step, I let the negative feedback gets to me a lot. 

But the break has been really helpful, since I let myself to completely stop thinking about the games, my interest in it is back, and now that I know what made me burnout, I have created a plan to stop myself from getting another burnout. I'll treat this like any other work, I'll only work during working hours, and do and think about other things when it's not working hours.

As for negative feedback, I'll learn to ignore them. 

Anyway, that's about it. For the following week I'll still be rewriting Natsumi Love Story's newest chapter.
