The highs and lows of Indie Retro News

I've been thinking a lot about this and whether I should write an article about it or not, but today I decided enough is enough and something has to be said. Yes Indie Retro News has lots of views, yes I've spoken to some really nice people, yes we've got some great reviewers, and yes I've announced a lot of great games but this does all come at a cost to my own health.  One person said to me some time ago that "writing is a thankless task". Well yes I kinda agree there, and it mainly comes down to certain people and how they talk down to you. Basically talking to you like an angry strict parent who just found out their kid spelt one word wrong in a 50 page essay that has taken days upon days of no sleep to get done.

Health Break - Taking a time out till Tuesday!

Here on Indie Retro News we try to keep you up to date with the latest gaming news from around the world from the Amstrad CPC and Amiga, to the C64 and to the ZX Spectrum. But after writing for nearly every day with so much going on, it's time to have a rest! I am physically and mentally exhausted, and have not been feeling right these last two weeks, especially with high anxiety and migraines taking its toll. So my faithful friends and readers of IRN, I'll be taking a step back for a little while to rest and gather my strength and hope to be back Tuesday.

Talk soon everyone, and I hope you have a great weekend full of retro games...

My Hospital Update

Some of you know what happened to me, however little update as to why I haven't posted anything myself this week. My operation was due on the 12th Dec For Sliding hiatus hernia, but the doctors gave me too much Blood thinning injections, 4 times the recommended dosage pre surgery. Thus it was cancelled 10mins from op as I would've bled to death.
