Blows off the dust
Wasn't really aware that anyone followed me closely to notice any prolonged absences, but apparently you exist and it warms my heart and makes me want to write. I've been incredibly busy post-grad, and even more so the past month with work (books simply refuse to edit themselves!) but I promise to try to write and revise and post more. It's been a bit of a rough patch, but I just bought groceries and called a therapist like an adult who handles her shit, so I think it will be okay.
