I was thinking about you yesterday. A friend and I were talking about stress and how it affects our writing, and that made me think of your post earlier about struggling with writing.
I guess I just say this to let you know that you're in my thoughts often.
Stress and creativity is not a good combination. Although paradoxically, I've done some of my most inspired work while stressed to the limit. I've always been a deadline writer. My deadlines are always too short, and I freak when I can feel them breathing down my neck. But then I get tunnel vision, and I'm swallowed whole by the story. Maybe, after all these years and all these books, I'm afraid if I don't have the stress, I won't have the juice. That, my friend, sucks.
I hope your writing is going wonderfully and joyfully. :)
I'm here if you would like to talk - you know where I creepily cyber-live and all that. But either way, I'm thinking of you, and hoping for Good Things.
Actually, tonight Criminal Minds was on in the office (a two-hour special of season four, because TV here is the way of the dinosaurs and I was like, "Paget has bangs! Hotch has smiles!") and I was thinking about you guys. Although, CM at work kind of crazily feels like my rl and fandom worlds are colliding (but awesomely). IT WAS LIKE STANDING ON THE APEX OF THE UNIVERSE.

In other news, you're completely awesome.
Weirdo out.
