Warning, this is a RANT! So if you care about TEARS deeply enough, I recommend you listen to this ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've been tired lately of TEARS, and not really in a good way either. TEARS is a fun camp and I enjoy it and the community it formed. However, I've had the thoughts of wanting to do something else. Imagine spending an entire week working your butt off for barely the entire camp to do anything. That's how I feel. Rushed entries, or no entries. Sometimes I get gems that I'll rewatch all the time. But in my mind, if the majority won't do the camp why should I keep spending each and every month working on it? I spend all the effort in the world just to get skipped. So it's demotivating. I just want to move onto something else already, finish old projects start new ones. At least something where I will have people look at it without not doing it. I really do try to entertain you all, which is why cancelling or delaying TEARS hurts a lot for me to actually commit to. But the camp has been taking it out of me. It feels like a chore for me to get finished, I get like two weeks to do whatever and the other two are working on TEARS. If this was the only thing I wanted to do on scratch i'd be fine. But I don't have the time to do other things I would like to enjoy. I can't put this camp in hiatus either, mostly because I know it'll just kill the camp and then it'd just be cancelled anyways. It feels like most of my other projects get more of a community and appreciation than my camps. Camps are fun, but I feel like I slowly lose the hype over time. COPE, another camp that was very similar to TEARS, had been cancelled for similar reasons. Because not many people did it and it was tiring to work for barely any response. I don't really know. I think only time will tell, and I think I'll keep my permanent decision a secret just in case I change my mind or something. I'm just so so so so tired
