Hello. It's been a while. It's hard, but I really feel like I need to do this. I'm taking a break from Scratch. Again. Before you ask, no, it's not because school exists. I'm actually doing pretty well in school so far, and I doubt it'd affect project production. School seems to be cutting me some slack for once. I'm actually taking a break for a couple of reasons: 1) I'm going to have a lot of dental work done. I went to the dentist about a month ago, and I found out that not only will I have to get braces PLUS a retainer for three years, but I'm also having gum surgery. I have a canine for a tooth that hasn't come in yet. If you don't know what a canine is, it's basically when a tooth come sticking out in the wrong place and gets all messed up. So, they're going to have to use a laser to cut a hole in my gum to put the tooth back in the right place, and then give me stitches over the hole. And I'm going to be wide awake while it's all happening. 2) Demotivation and lack of ideas. I know I've said this a lot before, but I'm not motivated to make much. Not really much else to say about this one. 3) Lack of skill. It's been so long since I've actually made a high-quality project (never), that I forgot how to animate. I'm going to be practicing animation, etc. while I'm gone. 4) Drama. The past few months have been absolutely insane. @Snowball-10 ruined his whole career multiple times (not surprising), the Jake raiders who raided my and many other Scratcher's profile are being as annoying as heck, you name it. I desperately need a break from all this. I may come back for a little while to chat with people, and possibly work on a little something, but not very much. Feel free to ask any further questions in the comments below. When I come back, I'll make a project (for real this time) about what I've been doing while I'm gone. (Idea totally not stolen from @GoldenEagleStudios.) With all that said and done, I bid you goodbye.
