recumbentI don't mean "Seanan needs a nap." I mean "crying at the slightest provocation, reciting primes to keep myself motivated to finish taking a shower, ready to curl up in a ball and die." So please. I am begging you here. I mean literally, I'm begging. Please...
...don't email me and then get angry when you don't get an instantaneous reply.
...don't ask why you can't have the next book NOW RIGHT NOW. I mean, unless your goal is seeing me cry. In that case, knock yourself out.
...don't tell me I'm neglecting my friends/social life/sanity when I don't come to your party. You know what? I know I'm neglecting those things. You know what else? I don't have a choice right now. I'm sorry. I wish I did. But I don't.
I am out of go. My candle is burning at both ends, and starting to melt in the middle. So handle me gently, do not prod me with sticks, and do not tell me I need to "take time for me." If the time existed, I would take it. It doesn't exist for me to take.
I'm tired.
In the interests of not turning a PSA into another source of stress, I will not be answering comments on this entry. Thank you for understanding.

We love you, you are amazing, and people who are going :EEE at you can go die in a fire. You have no time for you, so do whatever you can to keep the crying binges at bay while you work on your novels. Drink DDP, pet your kittens in-between edits, watch your favorite shows, listen to your favorite songs.
I wish you luck and hugs and good vibes and would give you more spoons or a new candle to burn or whatever you need if I could. It's okay to not reply to comments. We support you, and understand the need to not add to the stress.
