Fair warning that this involves the death of a family member! If that topic is too heavy for you or anything, the tl;dr is that there's a possibility that there will be a gap in my posting at some point.

I'm a fairly private person when it comes to these things, so I haven't said anything about it for the past month or so. I actually debated for a while whether I should even post this or not. But basically, the health of my memaw (who raised me and who I've been one of the main caretakers for) went downhill really fast and she has passed away as of me posting this. (I'm pre-writing this because I don't know if I'll be okay enough to be able to later)

With that said, I'm taking a brief break from writing for the upcoming series. I feel anything I write for the next few weeks will have an undertone of my grief, and that's not what I want.

I have 5 characters already written for it, so I'll schedule those to post automatically in the meantime! And the first bot is still coming out on the 26th! If I'm not feeling up to writing again once those have all been posted, then there might be a noticeable gap between bots. This could happen and it could also not happen. It really depends how I'm doing.

I'm not really the kind of person who feels guilty or bad for not posting. I am very firm with myself about my health coming first, mental or otherwise. The reason I'm posting this is so no one worries about me if I suddenly stop posting for a bit, because I personally get a little worried when I notice people stop posting. This is sort of reassurance to everyone that I'm alive and safe, just grieving.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you all have a lovely day/night/etc. 💕
