I would like to offer my most heartfelt apologize to all my friends and readers on big closet.
I dropped off the map and I feel bad about having worried so many of you by doing so.
Things were bad for me for a long while, and my anxiety and depression spiraled out of control after my ex cut me off from contacting my kids, while our grim financial situation and not being able to afford my meds was making things worse. I withdrew from everyone and everything but my boyfriend Martin.
I've gotten back in contact with my daughter, who recently graduated and I've been trying to pull myself out of my depression. She's been starting to write and has asked for my advice on it, and she even asked me if I was okay with her posting here. She wants me to start posting too. It's gotten me thinking about what really makes me happy and I've found that I really missed writing and the friends I made here. I was wallowing in misery, but I had good friends waiting for me and worrying about me here, and I should have come back a lot sooner. Our financial situation is still grim but it's not going to get better by me doing nothing and moping, I need to start writing again and think about publishing things eventually.
So I've decided that it's time to get back on the horse and back to work. I'm not sure how regularly I'll be posting since we're working on renovating Martin's parents basement into a livable suite for us and I'm teaching his niece English as a second language, but I'm going to do my best to get back to posting things soon. I may be a bit rusty, but I'm working on some stuff now and my muse seems to be eager to get back to work, so hopefully you'll see some chapters soon.
Apologies once more to the most supportive and caring friends and fans that any writer could hope for.

glad you're back
huggles!
It's good to be back
And I am so relieved to see so many familiar names still here. My anxiety kind of went through the roof while I was trying to gather the nerve to log in and post this blog.
*hugs* It's good to see you again Dorothy
Don't take me too seriously. I'm just kitten around. :3

I wish I'd come back sooner and I imagine I'll have to get used to a few familiar friends with new nicks, for as long as I've been away.

LOL
Yeah It can get kinda weird on that end.I just changed my nick 2day & I chose that as My Name in real life.It is from the Book series call A Court of Thorns & Roses.It is the Name of the Main Character in the Book Series
Thank You So Much
My heart goes out to you because of your situation. I went through an unwanted divorce and it took 14 years for one of my daughters to contact me. So, yeah... I am happy to see you back and hope that you do well.
I think, mashallah, that you are likely one of the 10 best authors I have ever read. "Twice Removed" was some of the best Science Fiction I have ever read. I'm not pressuring you to add to it, but it was good. I wrote a story, "Baby, Baby" which is vaguely similar but it doesn't even ... not one bit.
Blessings
Gwen
Thank you Gwen, it really
Thank you Gwen, it really helps to know I'm not alone and having my daughter back in my life, even if it's only through emails and such at the moment is making me feel a lot better about myself, I cried when I saw her grad and prom photos.
Thanks as well for your compliment, I've always tried to write things I'd enjoy reading and it's nice to know that others appreciate the effort I put in and think that I'm worth reading. I'll do my best to continue that as I attempt to get my writing groove back. Twice Removed and Raven's Blood will be major priorities since I want to publish those, but we'll see what my muse says lol

Welcome Back
Your absence from BC has, for me, always brought a sense that you were in pain and in a life struggle; it is great news that you are emerging from the darkness and are re-entering the light of life. As much as your readers want to see your writing continue, please do not force yourself. Write when and as you can and only when it is right for you to do so.
I have, from time to time, re-read your stories and hoped that they would eventually continue or that you new stories would emerge from your muse. I'm still content to wait as long as it takes for you to begin posting and I hope that you are able to find inner peace and achieve in real life the goals and aspirations you so richly deserve.
Again, welcome back.
Thanks for your patience and
Thanks for your patience and concern, I'm feeling better just being here, though I will admit to being a bit nervous about posting again. My muse seems to want to get some major work done on Syryn's Song, but I'll try to pace myself at first as I get back into the groove.

Smiling does seem to be good medicine

I can't say I don't care
I can't say I don't care about your works; but I can say that they're absolutely unimportant compared to the fact that you're still alive and well.
You always end up wondering when someone goes AFK for an extended period of time. Rarely do we/you ever find out what happened to the person that vanished.
Glad you're back, and in reasonable health.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
I'm glad to be one of those
I'm glad to be one of those who was able to come back and I am very sorry for the worry I caused people. I'll keep taking things one day at a time hoping they keep getting better. I think that's all we really can do sometimes, and it's good to be back with people who not only appreciate my scribblings, but me as a person as well.
It's good too see you again Bibliophage, and so many other familiar people.

Welcome back!
Glad to see you are back! I loved your stories and I can't wait to read your new or continuing chapters (New Syryn's Song please!). Good luck and I hope your life continues to get better.

Thanks GrandiaKnight
I'm glad to see me back too :)
My muse does seem to be pushing Syryn's Song on me at the moment, so that and maybe a chapter of I wish will be the first familiar things I post. I am considering posting a couple new short stories I worked on during my absence, but I'm still trying to decide on that.

Welcome back!
I didn't have an account here the last time you were around even though I've been reading and commenting without one for at least that long. I'm glad to hear from you!
I'm glad to be back, I look
I'm glad to be back, I look forward to seeing your future comments :)

Glad You're Back...
...and hope things will stay on an upward swing for you.
(I've been re-reading the Hyperverse stories lately and enjoying them again -- hadn't recalled that even the most recent of then dated back to 2014.)
I'll certainly look forward to anything more from you -- new or continuing -- that comes our way here. Thanks for coming back.
Best, Eric
Thanks Eric
I hope so too, and a positive attitude may just help things along.
Hopefully I'll have some new and continuing material posted soon for you to enjoy, I just hope I haven't gotten too rusty.

Welcome back....
Glad to see you back with us.
Hope that there will be more light in your life by each passing days.
Love tmf
thanks tmf
It's good to be back and see all of you again. While I was gone it often seemed like there was a light at the end of the tunnel so close I could reach out and grab it, but far too often that light turned out ro be an oncoming train. I think that if I really want light in my life, I can't just wait for it, I need to stoke the fire and fan the flames myself. I did that by coming back and I'll try to keep fanning those flames by doing what I most enjoy, writing stories for my friends, family and fans to enjoy.
*Love and hugs*

Hi,
Glad you are around. To be honest, I wasn't familiar with your stories so after seeing your post I read "Alex In Wonderland". I enjoyed it very much. Anxious to read more now. Thanks for your contributions.
Hi Wendy
I'm really glad you've enjoyed Alex in Wonderland, it's one of the projects I'd love to be finishing and I'm rereading it myself to get a feel for the characters again so that when I post new chapters it won't feel disconnected. It was my first real attempt at creating my own world and has a special place in my heart, in fact the kitty avatar in my signature is based on Alex. Hopefully I'll have more of it before too long and I hope that you'll find some of my other stories just as enjoyable.
*big hugs*

Delighted that you're back
Since I love your past writing, I'm delighted that you are beginning to feel better and are writing again.
Hope your writing brings you the joy it bring to me while reading it.
Thanks Doug
I'm really glad that you are enjoying my stories and I'm very happy to be back and writing again, it's been far too long since I've felt this good about myself.
*big hugs*
Amethyst.
