Hey, cadets. You might have noticed that I am WAY more inactive than I used to be. And there are multiple reasons for that, the first being: Scratch just isn't as...Scratch-ish anymore. It used to fill me with exciting adrenaline every time I opened my laptop and decided to make a new studio, or get more organized. But now it's just...off. Second reason: I seriously need to disconnect from screens and spend some time with humans that I can see. I've been so addicted to screens up to two weeks ago that I didn't realize how much it's been affecting me... Third reason: I got my braces (no wires yet, I need an extraction) and ever since then my lips have been spouting out waterfalls of blood (er, blood-falls) and I injured my leg PRETTY badly. It has a SUPER-nasty scratch that hurts A LOT. (UPDATE: IT'S STAPH INFECTION) Fourth reason: I've had bigger passions than Scratch. I have my own dreams to chase...and I can't make room for Scratch when these dreams are much bigger. And so, I'm going on a hiatus. I don't know when I'll come back, but I promise you I'm not leaving. About TDSL and Departed: they will definitely continue. I'm almost done Departed Chapter 1! About How2Scratch: that will also continue. I will release projects, but I won't comment/reply as much until my hiatus is over. Have a blessed summer break, - Twilight
