This time of year is the hardest part of everything. The holiday season adds a lot of stress. I end up every year feeling burned out.

this is why I try to schedule less publishing work. I also don’t end up being able to get as much written as I want to in November.

I end up sick physically.

I end up sick psychologically.

it lasts until somewhere around February. By then I have a chance to catch my breath. I am still working on trying to not fall apart during this time of year.

And this year is worse because I see next year as being bad. So I am falling apart.
