Change of Pace (Feb. Progress Update)


I know I usually post progress updates on the last Sunday of the month but I was trying to get something ready for you all to see before the end of this month. Because February is a short month, I ran out of time. By the end of this week, I'll drop a post about what it is I'm working on.
Before anyone asks it is not something for Ménage à Moi. Why? Because I'm taking a 1-month break from that project and I'll be coming back to it in April. The family member I mentioned several times since last June is my mother and, unfortunately, she had to go back into chemotherapy recently. Again I have become one of her primary caregivers and the events that transpired since her treatment began have taken a toll on me, both mentally and physically.
I had to temporarily stop production of Ménage à Moi because one of the main conflicts it features is the main characters' relationship dynamic with their motherly figures. Right now working on this project is simply hitting too close to home and playing havoc with my emotional state. Which, in turn, is seeping back into the scenes and coloring them in ways that I hadn't intended.
However, it's not all bad news. Also in the past few months, I was (finally) diagnosed with ADHD, which slots in eversonicely with my Autism and Bipolar Disorder (comorbidity is a bitch). I know that doesn't sound like good news but I've very recently switched to an ADHD medication that has done wonders for my concentration and energy levels. It's ironic I know, at a time when I can easily pour hours into my projects every day, the one I've been working on for the past year would cause me to burn out at the moment.
Regardless, I still have a ton of energy to spare so I decided to create a short project that isn't so laden with certain emotions that I'm currently overwhelmed by. Something that helps me focus on stuff that doesn't make me depressed and without worrying about having an overarching story or anything super complicated that would cause me to get bogged down.
I have already finished getting the sets and characters all set up for my mini-project called A Good Knight's Sleep. This project will be available to all supporter tiers simultaneously upon its release.
