You all made me cry because of how sincere and supportive you all were. It really shows how strong and caring everyone is here. It has given me a lot of perspective as well as hope in looking at the current stories I have going on and help reduce it so it is manageable. I do enjoy writing and I would say this group has been my most enjoyable writing experience to date by far. <br/><br/>I definitely didn't mean to have my choice of wording as 'chore' be taken the wrong way. With my job I am doing a lot of writing and reports, case notes and whatnot and with such a shortage of staff I've been doing quite a bit of overtime which in hindsight I should have also seen my own limitations since I've felt quite burnt out recently. I guess after writing in patients charts all day the last thing I want to do is sit and write out even more. I guess that's more where I'm coming from and that's my own mentality changing people being flexible and trying to internalize it on myself. Definitely an area of improvement for myself.  <br/><br/>It's nice to see that many others have had the same struggles I've been going through lately with my RPs and stories I've been writing. I've been doing this for so long, but only recently have I found out about Elliquiy and I can certainly say the writing here is top notch and it has really pushed me to write better and develop stronger characters for stories. It is nice to know I'm not alone when it comes to feeling frustrated at times with doing this. <br/><br/>There is an amazing group of people let alone writers here that I feel truly blessed to have met. Once I've sorted out where I'm at, maybe find the time for a little vacation from work, and if my muse for writing returns I hope to run into any of you again on here! I'm not sure when/if I will be back, but taking the last day or two to separate myself from things has helped. I know I will get back to where I once was and be enjoying life, work and writing since it has always been a passion of mine and here I've certainly found the best writers the internet has to offer! <br/><br/>Thank you again for a wonderful experience!<br/>(https://media2.giphy.com/media/3o85xopQt8hfhur0bK/giphy.gif)<br/><br/>PS: I hope everyone stays safe that may be impacted by the hurricane! <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>MD, I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say that you will be missed but we are glad you are doing what you feel is best for you.<br/><br/>I'd also like to speak for myself in saying that you are an AMAZING writer and that both you and Cleo will be missed.  I hope things get better for you and that I get to work with you again in the future when you are feeling better.  *hugs if they are accepted*  I would also like you to know that my thoughts and support are with you.<br/><br/>@Everyone else: Someone brought it to my attention that although I have told some of you directly, I may have forgotten to post it up in here.  I will be absent the next 3 days (including most of today).  Due to being a leader in the Honors Society at school, I'm going to an all-weekend event that takes place at one of those campsites similar to those that you may have experienced if you were ever in Girl Scouts or Boy Scouts.  Unfortunately, I was informed that it is nearly impossible to get cell phone service up there, much less wifi, so unless things have changed within the past year (when the last group of leaders went), I will unfortunately be gone.  I do apologize for such short notice (I thought I'd already put it up) and I will see you all again either Sunday at some point or Monday.
