User blog:WeissSchnee/Taking Some Time

So. . . I'll start this journal/ blog by saying that today wasn't a great day for me. First, I found out that my Dad has cancer behind one of his eyes. The operation he needs will cost $1000, the glasses he'll need in the mean time will cost $400. And, as if that wasn't enough, his sleep apnea has gotten worse and the doctor says he's going to need a machine and mask for when he sleeps. The cost? $1500 or more.

Finding nearly $3000 is going to be increadibly difficult for my family and I, especially since we struggle to even afford the basics. Which brings me to the reason for making this blog. To help cover the costs, I have to sell my laptop which is pretty much my life line to the outside world, but it's for a good cause. Hopefully that should put a dent in the costs. To that end, I'll be stuck using my crappy mobile which will load gmail and outlook, and that's about it. I might be able to use the computers in the public library too from time to time until we pay for all the things my Dad needs and I can afford to buy a new laptop or a good second hand one. Obviously, that puts a pin in anything I was planning to do with my characters on the wiki. . . but that might not be such a bad thing.

I've been feeling a little. . . lackluster when it comes to RWBY OC's and making them in general for a while now. I used to love it to the point I was making excessive amounts of them for no other reason than that I loved creating them (plenty of people can back me up on the excessive part), but lately it's become, boring I guess. Maybe I'm just burnt out and need to get the passion back for creating. So, maybe the break will do me good. Maybe it will help me refresh my creativity and give me time to properly flesh out some characters and actually plan things for them. To that end, I have a question I need you guys to help me answer.

What should I do about my existing characters? As much as I've tried, and as much as I love them, the only one I really keep going back to is Viola. Should I keep her and delete the rest, or should I just archive them and keep working on Viola. I trust you guys, because you've always given me good advice (looking at you Jord ^.^) even when I haven't wanted to hear it. Let me know. I'll have my computer for two more days before selling it, so I'll be able to see your comments for the next little while.
