Not really taking a break... I've been trying to mess around with how I write. Previously it was write 1 chapter of story A, then write 1 chapter of story B, etc.
This often left me scatterbrained and i'd be forced to spend a lot of time fixing tiny mistakes. So I've started trying to write through entire sub-arcs or at least days first. So I wrote Mousegirl chapter 12 - 15 all within the span of two days
I'll be doing the same for Barista soon.
