Does this thing even still work?

[amari_z]

It looks like it has been nearly a year since I’ve posted. Who knew? Back in March of last year, I got slammed with a new case and pretty much didn’t sleep until September. (I’m exaggerating. A little.) After that, I think I spent the rest of the year as a zombie, shambling about in a daze. I haven’t been around LJ at all, but it did recently occur to me that the crackiversary came and went without fanfare, and I began to wonder if I was in the mood to write again. (After writing over 700 pages for work in the space of a few months, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be in the mood to write again.) More about the fate of Resurrection next time, but for now I figured I’d just post to break the ice and clear the dust. It helps that today’s a snow day and I’m hanging out in Starbucks with my computer for the first time since . . . finishing up with Ties that Break? I think so.

Hope you’ve all had a good year. I think I’ve a couple comments that I never responded to, which I will check shortly. Sorry about that.

Also, coming soon, a belated report on 2009 in books! It was less than a stellar year for reading, but you know I’ve got to keep track of these things in the quest to stem the tide of books that somehow just keeps flowing into my apartment.

Welcome back! Still awaiting the next installment of resurrection when you do get a chance. Can't leave the uys hanging! BTW, I emailed you a Christmas wish list for the Knights in honor of the Crackiversary. Did you get it? (It was a list of what i wished to gift each knight.)I can post it here, if you like. Just so Crackiversary is remembered.

You're alive!! I was beginning to think you had been abducted by aliens ;p

Sounds like you had a rough year and I do understand how you needed to step away for a while and rejuvenate. You have a very challenging career and some damn weird bosses so that certainly will take a toll on you and your muses.

I'm looking forward to more of the Resurrection series when you're up to writing more :))

Take care!

Maybe you could start with writing a few small things to get you pack in the writing mood before trying to tackle anything major.

Welcome back. It looks like it still all works here.

Look forward to your book report. I am planning tomorrow to sit down and read The Lovely Bones so I can go see the film when it is released next Friday.

I do still read the crack I have most of saved on my hard drive to work back through when I miss it but understand that sometimes the muses won't do as you wish them.

Hope this is the start of you being able to be around a little more.
