Winter is here...
Heyaa, all good there?
Asking. Because on my side. It certainly isn't.
Probably, those winter feelings. Are here… You know. Those days. When you. Just want to sit. By the fire… Decked with. Three layers of warmies.
Something like this. 👇🏻
Yea, I have been "sketching". 😛
OK, actually I've been sick. For a week… Sick of work. Sick of learning. Sick of designing. Even sick of creating memes. In fact, I haven't created a meme for over a month.
Something this horrific hasn't happened; at least, not in the last 5 years.
Have been slow at work… Lazier than usual. Haven't been following up. Don't feel like checking on payments. Twitter activity reduced too. Maybe this is what experts call "Burnouts."
So, tried a few different things… Sketched, read fictions, watched movies. Eating also helped, as usual.
However, I guess talking about the situation helped the most.
So, add abhijeet@lazywriter.in to your contacts, just in case you feel like talking to a stranger when you go through one of those days. Friendly Stranger, Calm Listener or the Creepy Guy 20 Light Years Away, whatever name you want to give me.
