Taking a break this week
Added 2018-04-04 19:32:32 +0000 UTC
Hello my beautiful patrons,
I am taking this week off, possibly a few more days, in light of a whole lot of creative burnout I've been experiencing recently due to lots of factors. I'll be taking the time to get ahead on production as well as reassess how I want to move forward as a YouTuber.
All is well, I'm just trying to figure out how to manage all that I want to accomplish while growing at the rate I want. This industry is tough, and every once in a while you have to slow down and do what you need to do. I'll be back as soon as possible.
I'm sure you all are aware of the shooting that occurred at the YouTube headquarters. Thus far everyone I know there that I've heard from is safe. Please hold the whole YouTube family in the light as we all heal from the incident.
Hope you all are having a wonderful week.

Enjoy your vacation! If you have access to SirusXM I fully recommend the CoffeeHouse channel. "Lost Boy" by Ruth B. has been on heavy rotation and I think would be a wonderful GTS. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58TBZnvyGwQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58TBZnvyGwQ</a>

Some lady who was a YouTuber and supposedly against the new gun censoring policies walked into the YouTube headquarters and shot three people, then killed herself.

Take it easy, girl! If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. I hope you figure everything out. Best of luck!

As a software engineer who is well versed in the struggle of scaling. It's better to take some time up front and build a stable platform. Can't wait to see what you post when you come back!

Well, we can't have you burning out. Take the time you need. And no need to apologize for it. Everyone needs a vacation :)

Aww hope the break helps things! You definitely deserve one! <3 I love your videos, and your t-shirts are great at conversation starters, me and my husband wore them around his in-laws, and they all wanted to know about 'Gradually Watermelon' lol

Take time to recharge your batteries. It has been a very tough few weeks since the Parkland shooting and now this one at Youtube - and I live the other side of the Atlantic... Spend time with your loved ones (after caving and feeding the wallabies I'm not sure what next!) but come back refreshed and reinvigorated when you are ready! xx

Do whatever you need to do. We appreciate the content that we get (most of us) and respect that you are a living human being. Taking care of yourself comes first, we'll be here.

Take the time you need. And about the two vs. one video per week thing, consider this. Just a short simple unedited vlog entry just to know you are alive and well will satisfy much of our needs. Those short messages also builds anticipation for the next quality thing you are working on, especially if it includes a tease, like some of your tweets does. You have compounded a quite big catalouge of quality content. And as long as it is still up, we can watch it again and again.

I hadn't heard about what happened at YouTube headquarters––it is a scary world we live in right now. Glad everyone you know is safe. I do understand creative burnout; I have had it happen myself, and watched it happen to too many friends. Take care of yourself!

Maybe you should consider one video per week and have additional videos as a bonus whenever you have some spare time. Two-plus videos per week may work for those who are purely Youtubers but you have many pursuits outside of this. Take some time to figure out the right balance. Good luck and may you gradually watermelon.

Take as long as you need. You’ve earned a break after giving us quality content for all this time!

The break is well deserved Malinda, hope you have a relaxing and also productive time. :)
