Hey guys.
Just a quick note that Im going to be stepping away from social media and forums for a month or two.
I have been super swamped and its gotten to the point where Im starting to make mistakes.

I've been pouring so much of myself and my every waking moments into work and customs and producing that I'm starting to seriously burn out.

Im not in a position to take a real vacation because I still have lots of work to do, but I have been suffering from burnout the last few months and its gotten to the point where Ive started making mistakes regarding bookings, scripts, deliveries, etc. I've even forgotten to print out a script when a client paid for a custom. I could have shot it, but because I didn't print the script I didn't know i had another story to film and ended up having to refund customs. Thats really not fair to the clients who have paid for a project and are expecting one only to have me say i forgot to print the script and send a refund. Sure refunds are great because they are not getting screwed but there is still the fact that a client was let down. so Im going to step back for a month or two and limit my posts to just updates.

I won't be reaching out in discussions and won't be posting looking for help/input.

I'll be concentrating more on spending halfway days watching tv and focusing on just updating.


this is not me announcing Im quitting.
I enjoy this too much to stop.... but I have been working way too much and spending way too much time on work

So... I'll still be here, and still be updating the Patreon every month, but i will NOT be taking new customs for a few months.
I need to clear the backlog of owed customs to clients who paid good money. they deserve a fresh sharp mind, not a burned out one.
So Im going to take the next 2 months or so to finish all our backlogged customs and not take any fresh ones until january.

I know that eventually some smart ass is going to post that i have retired and thats what this post is for.... to let people know I haven't quit
just taking a break.

As it stands now I wake up at 6am every morning (yes even weekends)
and start working on the computer until 4.30 pm when I start cooking dinner. at 6.30 I eat with my family and watch some tv and then from 8.30 to 11.30 I'm back at the computer while Eve sleeps. I get to sleep at around 12am-1 am and then start the next day at 6.am again
checking and replying on several forums is actually how I take breaks from editing so its not like i get much fun time

its been going like this non-stop for almost a year and to be bluntly honest Im starting to feel like I just don't care anymore so my heart hasn't been into many of my projects.

customs are easy because I only have to follow written rules but for our own productions I have to think of stories, devise plots and dialog and the last 3 months i have been relying on heavy formula which is ok, but a bit soulless so i hope to recharge so that i can get that spark of creativity back.

Ming needs some times with the slavegirls.
lol

So guys thanks for all your support, we really appreciate it
I won't be on very often so might not be able to reply

We all deserve a break once in a while. Take time to live and enjoy life. Give your mind a break, and your body too.
I know for me exercise of any kind clears my mind, stabilize and boost my moods, Simply makes me feel good. Taking time away from what we do every day is very helpful. Makes you miss it and gives you new ideas. Enjoy yourself!
Lots of Love, Your Wonder Amazon

If its personal issues KoG, you don't owe anyone here any explanations, you are just gonna be away until you come back and that's that.

Best wishes to you
