Trying to resume normal functioning

I’m here. I’m okay. I have a few things to say:

1) Thank you so much to those of you who messaged, called, showed up on my doorstep or email me. I really appreciate it, and yes, I really needed it. Sometimes you just have to hear that people care. Even if those people don’t know what’s going on it helps you feel like you aren’t alone. If anyone out there is wondering if they should reach out to a friend (or coworker or relative) who is trouble or having a hard time don’t hesitate, tell them they aren’t alone. Sometimes that does more than a knight (of any color) rushing in to rescue you.

2) At this point I’m moving past my crisis and trying to deal with the major schedule change. Like how I should be in bed right now, but instead just got off the phone with someone who is one of the huge sighs in my life that I’m doing something right.

3) To those of you who worried that my hiatus was from writing, the good news is apparently that’s not allowed, seeing as during this crisis I’ve gotten a partial request from another Writers House agent, an edit and resubmit request, an invite to submit to an anthology that’s Right Up My Alley ™ and first edits on Rot. So even if I was inclined to need a break from writing it’s not allowing me to have one. Am I complaining? Hell no. I’m revelling.
