The brief notice was posted on my blog that I am putting my movie blog on a temporary hiatus but if you want a slightly longer explanation, well here it is:
I am 100% NOT abandoning this blog. I really do love my blog because afterall, it was on its way to 20k views! Not a big number in the long run but I don't actively go out of my way to promote my blog a lot these days so it was cool to see organic views.
The main reason is that I would like to perfect my painting skills. Recent hobby that I want to spend a whole lot more time on since I find it pretty therapeutic. I've been sitting on my free Craftsy 1 year membership for 5 months now so I want to stop fucking around so I can take advantage of the remaining 7 months left. That's where I go for my paint tutorials. Also where I learned to crochet. Youtube tutorials are like soo limiting. I thought it might be a great Christmas gift idea for family this upcoming holiday. That's not the only reason.
Also, horror movies. Need I say more?
While I don't get scared or traumatized in the traditional sense, I fear that it may have had a hand in me repressing PTSD adjacent memories that got unearthed while watching certain movies. That affects my quality of life, man! I definitely need to get to the root of that issue before I descend further into madness. Now, I'm being steered in the direction of meditation and yoga...taking it a little bit more seriously to alleviate those stressors.
This also means my 31 Movies in 31 Days in October is cancelled. I might even go back and edit/delete some posts, actually.
My TV blog will continue as scheduled because first off, it's easy. Secondly I currently have 30+ posts already finished and waiting to be posted. I'm sure I'll be back in tip top shape before then. Plus, it's not as soul sucking as the movies I am curating.
That's all. I tried to make this post short but it's...kind of not. I'll post on this blog periodically for updates on both blogs. Thank you for reading,
