still here, still breathing, still writing (sometimes)

[oiran]

Over the holidays, I've had a death in the family, a joyous reunion with an old friend, and a wonderful icy, slushy, dirty xmas in NYC. Prior to that, I spent ~3 years in a depressed fog from which, mostly and most thankfully, I have been granted a chemical reprieve. I did very little writing, very little getting dressed and practically no leaving the house during that time, plus my little lovebird died of old age and I broke my foot, so there's not really much more that needs to be said about the general 2005-2009 period.

I sincerely hope some of you still have me on your filters. How have you all been?

It's really great to see a post from you. I've missed your presence on my flist and thought about you a lot.

I'm sorry to hear about the rough time you've gone through in the past several years. Glad to hear the fog is lifting a bit. Here's hoping the 2010s are better for all of us.

Thanks for remembering me :)

I've been doing much better for a few months and I think this time the results are going to be somewhat more durable than on past regimens. I hope so, anyway!

2010 is the year I will finish at least one book. Whether it's a good book or will find an audience is, of course, still to be seen.
