Scaling Back

[calissa]

Last week I took a hiatus to get things back on track and to have a think about the future of the blog. As I mentioned there, I have been dealing with burnout for a while and it has become apparent to me that my current workload is unsustainable. Having given it some thought, I’m going to be scaling back on my current blogging schedule. Instead of posts twice a week, I’ll be shifting to once a week (well, some will be twice a week, but mostly once a week). This won’t take place right away. My schedule for April was already solidly booked with exciting things. But, come May, my posting frequency will be dropping back.

This wasn’t an easy decision; I’d rather be blogging more frequently, not less. However, ignoring my limits really isn’t wise. Thank you to everyone who expressed support in private and on social media. I appreciated it so much.

I'm glad you've found a solution. I hope it proves to be sustainable. <3

Good for you. I'm currently going through a similar issue and it's never fun.

Keep taking care of yourself, my lovely.

Sorry to hear you're suffering with workload issues, but what a braw scaly (scaling?) buddy you have! They should be a fashion model (and perhaps you could consider selling some of your pictures for stock or local magazines, the ones I've seen lately are for sure pro quality by now).

Hey, may I ask you an Australian question?

[calissa]

Scaly buddy is a Gippsland Water Dragon. They're in an enclosure, strategically covering up the sign for the Blue-Tounged Lizard--of which I could see no sign. I suspect foul play (not really).

Thank you! My sister is even better and has sold a couple of hers.

Uh, sure?

DRAGON! I don't know where Gippsland is, but clearly it has magnificent wildlife. Are the blue-tongued lizards the poison blood-spitting sort, or am I thinking of something else?

She might be able to give you tips on who might like your things, then. Worth thinking on, though I sincerely appreciate getting to see them for free.

How would you greet a random fellow-Australian if you came across them in space? On a ship where you didn't expect there to be an Australian, I mean, not just floating in the void. It might not come up, but just in case.

Blue-tongued lizards have a reputation for being venomous, but aren't in fact. Instead, they're useful for combating snails in the garden.

Ooo... good question. I'm not really sure. I guess I'd be pleased and surprised, therefore disposed to be a little friendlier. I'd probably also ask which part of Australia they're from.
