Apologies

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.
