Woah, What Happened?

So after several days of productive updates and after promising a second one...I sort of just stopped. 

In all honesty, I just needed to take a week break or so. I haven't done any playing for a while. Unfortunately, this means that I have no idea what I'm going to come back to when I return due to the nature of the game. 

I'm not talking about weeds, which are a non-issue due to Mabure's town ordinance and the fact that I've been time-travelling in Yuyake anyway. I'm more worried about the fact that some of my villagers might move during the time off. If nothing else, I know my characters in Mabure are going to have bedhead when I turn the game on again (which will be really annoying; I really wish there was a way to get rid of bedhead without Shampoodle). I know I could just set the clock back to when I last played and go from there (like I'm doing in Yuyake), but that means I'd throw the clock on both of my 3DSes off.

Yuyake has a different problem, and that's the fact that I didn't manage to finish the time travel period before going on hiatus. As a result, the town's about a week off schedule and the time travel period is lasting for a much longer period of time than when I intended, which is going to throw updates off a bit. 

Speaking of updates...I think this blog is probably the reason why I burnt out. It's a weird hobby of mine; I really do like having an archive where people can comment on what I've been doing, yet at the same time having to constantly take pictures and actually post is something that I don't enjoy all that much (which is a problem since I do plan on being a writer of some kind; can't be a writer if I don't enjoy writing to some extent, now can I?). 

So what I think I really need is a break from the blog, not necessarily a break from the game. In lieu of that, it's probably going to be quiet for at least a little while longer. Since Yuyake's so off schedule I'm skipping the rest of the time travel period. I'll make an update once it's finally in line with real world time, while Mabure is just going to be out of focus for a while. 

Since I never got around to it, I'll mention the most notable happenings in Mabure from last time I played. 

Graham gave Rosaline a fake painting (he wanted to sell it but decided his price was a little high). Since the guy gave me quite a few real paintings before this and since Rosaline didn't lose any money over it anyway I'm not annoyed with him at all. I'm more annoyed with myself for thinking it was real and needing Blathers to tell me otherwise when in New Leaf you can tell by looking at it (it was an amazing painting; I just can't tell my right from my left sometimes ._.). 

Secondly, Coach wanted to move after several days of no one thinking about it. Of course I stopped him, though to be fair if I ever feel like letting anyone in Mabure go it'd probably be him. 

With that said, I'll sign off here. Despite everything I just said, the next update might actually be quick in coming depending on how quickly I can get Yuyake to the present day. 

Until the next one, folks.
