I've been mulling over this post for a while! Thank you so much for sharing your experience, it's so precious. It's extremely inspiring to feel how dedicated you are to writing (freaking 8 books in 12 years?! Tell me more!!); and at the same time I can totally see how difficult it is to strike the balance between dedication and burnout.
Also, reading how you discovered other hobbies (kudos for that too!) made me think of something: being a writer it's a weird thing, because we have to imagine all sorts of fantastical things and experiences that we may never have if we just spend all of our time writing. Maybe trying out different things can make us better writers?
