Getting Back To What Matters (To Me, Anyway)

*pops head out of hole*

Are you still here?

What?

You've been waiting all this time to read another entry from me?

Well, we aren't going to discuss what that may mean about your sanity (because, honestly, I can't imagine why anyone would hang on my every word), but if you insist on reading new entries on my blog, I am pleased to announce that your

Now you've gone and made me cry. Welcome back. You're making a difference in people's lives. Mine, at least.

[elissacruz]

Aw, shucks. *blushes* Thanks for letting me try to make a difference. And especially thanks for reading.

The tears were optional, though. Just so you know. ;)

Welcome back! I missed you!

[elissacruz]

Thank you! It's good to be back among friends.

*HUGS* I'm glad you gave yourself that break, and I'm also really glad that you're writing again now. When it comes right down to it, publication/accolades/whatever are only potential icing for writing (and can even go spectacularly wrong)...but the act of writing itself is so, so good for us. Sending lots of hugs to you and to your family.

Thanks so much! And yes, the writing itself is so, so good for me. And the family, too, in a round-about sort of way. I'm a better mom/wife/daughter/niece/aunt for it.

Thank you for saying it was awesome.

And I will take you up on that reader/critique thing, but only if you let me return the favor. Like I've already told you, I've been dying to get my hands on your manuscripts for years. Deal?

[anonymous]

um.... let me think.... okay, deal! ;;virtual shake;;

Sorry you've had a rough time and welcome back!

(Shhh...I'm not really here. I'm supposed to be offline until I finish my WIP but I can't seem to stay away from reading LJ.)

[elissacruz]

Thanks! It's good to be back!

(And your secret is safe with me. Good luck on your WIP.)
