A Little Update and a Big Thank You

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments on several of my recent pieces. I appreciate every single one of them, and I am sorry I haven't been able to respond to each of you.

For the past two weeks, I have been trying to recover a manuscript that has seemingly disappeared out of the universe. It was lost during the uploading process for publication, and with it went more than a year of writing, my life, and dedication. I honestly can't put into words how upsetting this has been.

I know myself well enough to know that if I started responding to comments and catching up on everyone's writing, I would end up going down one rabbit hole after another, reading and commenting, and before I knew it, I would have put off the most important thing I need to do right now. I need to find a safe and reliable place for my writing and make sure something like this never happens again.

Once I get everything fixed, I look forward to spending time reading everyone's work and catching up on what I have missed.

Thanks for being so understanding and for all the kind words. I appreciate you all more than you know, and I look forward to catching up soon.
