Project on Hiatus for June

Hey guys,

I've been giving a lot of thought to how I want to proceed with my personal "Six Words" challenge moving forward. I've been doing it more or less every week for eight months now, and it has been extremely helpful in getting my creative juices flowing.

However, lately I've found myself a little burned out and unable to crank out anything within the week. Furthermore, "cranking it out" wasn't my original intention. I wanted to spend some time with each set of words and produce something more polished and of higher quality than what I've been doing.

So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take June off. I'm still going to try to write and be creative, but I'm going to put the Six Words Project on pause. Hopefully this will help heal the burnout a little bit. Then, when I resume in July, I will start generating a new set of Six Words every other week, giving myself two weeks to sit with each set and invest in my creation. I think and hope that a longer turnaround might be less stressful for all of you.

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or opinions about this plan, but I hope you'll continue to play with me moving forward, just with a slightly different structure. Thanks!
