Non-Update Update

Guys, I know I owe a million responses.

I’m not kidding…my email makes a little bong sound and for the last few days, it’s sounded like this bongbongbongbongbongbongbongbongbong. Just endlessly. Everyone has called, executives and editors from every company. My DM box on twitter was filling up so fast that I could read them before they went off the screen.  And the response on Tumblr might have been the biggest of all.

I’m sorry, I could not keep up. But even more than that, if I sat and read the kind words for too long, I would get very choked up every time. People said such kind things that it was almost harder to read in some cases than hate mail because I just had no idea, I have NO idea, how much support I had out there. I just didn’t. My hubby keeps saying I should have known because people have been so kind all along, but…well, this is another level.

I need to respond better. I’ll try to answer as many comments as I can, maybe in a big block so it’s not making people want to jump out the window when they read their dash. But if I don’t get back to you personally PLEASE understand that I read your kind thoughts and I got your message and it meant the world to me.

Truthfully, I keep saying this, but I was very bummed after the news. But I feel like anyone who could put on a mopey face in the face of this kind of support must be a very ungrateful person indeed.

I am happy. I didn’t know the opportunities that there are. I didn’t know that my work was valued by so many people in this industry.  Can’t say anything yet, but I will say that I’ve been offered to write some dream, dream books I never even thought I might be able to work on. I’ve been asked to do animation and games and RPGS and more. Friends I haven’t spoken with for years got in contact. People from every aspect of the industry, including pros I have admired but never even met, wrote just to check in and make sure I was okay.

I’m better than okay. I’m happy, ridiculously happy.

Because I have colleagues like that and readers like you.

So, it’ll take a while to respond to some of these posts, but I’ll try my best. DON’T THINK IT’S NOT APPRECIATED. It’s made ALL the difference, it’s the reason I’ve been smiling and laughing, instead of feeling terrible and beating up furniture. THANK YOU.

I have a lot of decisions to make. But SOME very, very, very cool announcements will be coming VERY soon, hopefully before the weekend. I’m talking with a LOT of great companies…soon I can talk about who, and for what reason. :)

LIFE is freaking WONDERFUL.
