announcement + updates for 2019 (read desc)

2018 was, in general, a pretty difficult year. While I progressed in my skills as an editor, and I am very proud of that fact, I spent a lot of time worrying about what other people thought of my editing and making everything perfect at the detriment of my enjoyment and well-being. I was producing content I was proud of, but didn't have the opportunity to be proud of it because of my preoccupation with the next best thing that I could do to get better or move up in the editing community. In addition, I ended up in some uncomfortable situations and around people who did not make me happy because of my constant desire to get better. By the end of the year I was too burned out to complete projects, and too burned out to function in my day to day life.
Last year, I lost track of why I started editing in the first place. To make something I would want to watch over and over and over again-- not to find flaws, but to find enjoyment. At the beginning of last year I published my first MEP part. At the beginning of this year I started crying when I opened my editing software to work on my parts.
In addition to a lot of personal issues that have befallen me this past year, this weighed on me. Even then, there are so many things that are prompting me to make a change, the most MINOR of which is burnout. Still, it is something I feel I need to do in order to take back some control over my life.
I can't create when there is nothing to build from. If I am not whole enough I cannot give half. I cannot make something else when I am destroying myself.
Thank you all for an amazing 2018. Thank you for an even better 2019.
