I suppose you're expecting a writer's first post to be witty, or profound.
Might happen later.
Right now, I'm learning a new SM format, so please be patient with me.
In the meantime, this pic of me sums up today: trying to write, and wondering where's the tea gone?
Appreciation post for my readers and Patreon supporters who've helped me get through a rough couple of months with anxiety and PTSD, especially to my top patrons: Suzie Eisfelder, Kelli Kininmonth, Mark Suter, William J Jackson, and Joanne van Raaphorst.
