It's something I have spoke about a lot since the beginning. Motivation, or lack of it, is the sword that slays creative progress. As you all know it is one of my biggest hindrances in most of what I do, not just Project AELAS which has worked as a creative outlet.
But that isn't really a reason. I am at a point in my life where I need to decide what it is that I am going to do with it. I work in care and in a few weeks will be started my first full time job within care. Don't get me wrong when i say this, I love care and the work i do, but it isn't something I want to be doing for the rest of my life. I'm sure a great number of you can relate, sometimes we take jobs because we have to, because being alive costs money, and if we do like the job great. I'm fortunate enough to be in that position, but also with an insight of what I would love to be doing.
The next couple of months are going to be a bit of struggle, to adopt to change, while also setting in motion things that will help me to reach the place I want to be at. I love AELAS and working on it, but lately with all the changes that have been going on, i've taken solace in more mind-numbing activities. like gaming and watching TV series (which by the way there is nothing wrong with, but it is so easy to sink a whole day into it.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, for me, life is happening, or rather there are things I need to do to make life happen, and unfortunately AELAS takes a back seat to that. That is not to say I have given up on AELAS. as long as at least one person enjoys it I will finish the series, it's at this point i want to, from the bottom of my heart, thank my voice actress for having the patience to still be a part of this project, without her I would likely not bother.
I also want to say that I appreciate any feedback. If you hate AELAS, tell me what makes you hate it and how I can improve it. This idea started as a dream to do with something that I was passionate about, I don't really watch anime anymore, but when I watched it, Elfen Lied spoke to me. I wanted to give something back to a community who had accepted me with open arms. It was supposed to be for the fans, by the fans. So at the same time, if you love it let me know!
I haven't got a time-frame in mind for when the next episode will be out, at the moment it isn't my number one priority, but once I am settled in my new job and have a better routine I will be able to devote time to scripting and editing once again.
Thank you all for your patience and support.
Much love as always.
