Hello after -- hell, I don't even know how long it's been since I last blogged here. I've been thinking about popping in just to say I'm fine, but I wasn't sure if anyone even remembered me after all this time. Thanks, draphy, for dropping me a comment to say people are still thinking about me!
Short story, I'm doing much, much better these days. I still have problems, but some of them have resolved in the only way they could; and others have gotten much better due to big changes in my lifestyle. Lifestyle gives the wrong impression, but I don't know a better term to use. What I really mean is that I've accepted the fact that I just can't work and live with autism at the same time, and I've chosen to live rather than to work.
I still have my personal EMC fantasies, and much to my surprise, I recently regained my writing mojo. Unfortunately for anyone reading this, I don't have my EMC writing mojo back. I'm doing some fanfic for...let's just call it a vanilla obsession. When I publish it on a different site under a different name, if you happen to run across it (which is highly unlikely) and think, "Hey, that sounds like thrall," I hope you'll keep the thought to yourself. Everyone who comments here has always been really good to me, and you know how I feel about privacy -- yours and mine. I wouldn't like that identity connected to this one.
And that's it for now. I might or might not regain my EMC writing mojo. Some of you will remember that I had several stories on the back burner when I left, and I still have them lying around...digitally speaking. At this point I can't say whether or not I'll finish any of them, but at least I'm doing fine. That's the important takeaway here.
It's really nice to know that some of you out there still remember me and wish me well. Thanks for that. It makes me smile. I hope you continue to smile too -- and wherever you are, I hope you stay safe during the pandemic and get vaccinated as soon as you're able.
