life update

I checked when I last updated my LJ and I knew it had been a while, but I did not realize that it hadn't been since October - ouch. So this is long over-due. It was a rough end of year for me, which was partly why I was so quiet. It isn't that I want to disengage from here, but when I get overwhelmed interaction on LJ is usually the first thing to go.

Going to go ahead and stick this behind a cut as it's personal.
( work, health issues, religion )

But in other, brighter news - I am proud of myself - I did manage to write a story for the MPTT Yule swap called Salt. It was for Keiliss and featured one of her OTPs, Erestor/Gil-galad. I'm happy with how it turned out, but lord it is intimidating to write Gil-galad for her, the Queen of Gil fics. Now if I could just manage to write something this year, I'll be doing pretty good.

Sorry for the long absence! I will try to be better. My one and only New Year's resolution is to make my bed every morning. It's something I've never mastered as child or an adult. I'm proud of myself, I'm actually doing great on that score.

No talk about politics this round, other than to say WTF, America.
