Even though you've already replied and have gotten some good advice, I thought I'd add my two cents.

I'm going through the same thing, maybe not the exact same, but close. I'm lazy af, and a lot of shit in life is getting in the way of writing. But that's why I've taken a long hiatus. Occasionally, I'll probably plan out my story for a while, but that's getting more and more rare every day.

It's healthy to take a break, not just from the wiki but from anything. As long as you're happy, then it's good. Warfare gave some good advice, reading books (not on a computer, on paper), is definitely a good idea. Not only will it help with your writing, but it can help you escape from whatever problems you deal with in life.

So don't rush anything, and make sure to take plenty of time to yourself (don't be masturbating 24/7 though). <3

P.S. I've no idea how popularity came into this but there is something I would like to say. To quote John; "To bring popularity into this is silly. Just because a story is quote unquote popular doesn't mean smooth sailing for the writer." He's right, it doesn't mean smooth sailing, but it can make it easier if a story is popular, it makes it more inspiring to sit down and write.

(I haven't proof read this so if there are spelling mistakes, I don't give a poop).
