Count me in as another fan of your Bones fics on ff.net (I'm known as sheytune over there). I'm sorry to hear you've been having such a bad time (is anyone having a good year this year?), but I'm glad to hear you're still putting one foot in front of the other. Some days, that's all that's possible. I hope things improve soon.

I’m a big fan of your Bones fic and I must admit I’ve been thinking about you as well. I’ve checked your blog repeatedly in hopes of finding a post. What you’ve written here is so familiar to me. I’ve been there and done that. I won’t say I know what you’re going through (no one can), I can’t say it will get better, but I will say that you are not alone in your frustrations, you are being cheered on and you are doing what all of us who face these challenges must do, getting up each day, going on, and trying to make each day a little better then the day before.
Never forget that you are cared for, you are loved, and that each and every day is a new opportunity.
I also have to tell you that I seriously envy your writing ability, your wit and your style.
Remember the Poco song from Bones. Keep on trying. That’s all anyone can do.

I have read and re-read and re-read this post. I’m one of your Bones fans, following you here because I enjoy so much your sense of humor and drama and angst and darkness. Your replies to my reviews have always left me feeling befriended, so when I finally realized that you were not doing well I began to worry. Asking you for a review of this film was not simply “Hey, what do you think about it?” but more so a knock at the door asking you to come out and play, and once again I am befriended by your reply.

Thank you.

First of all, I’m sorry about your mother-in-law. That she passed quietly and peacefully is a blessing, but it’s nonetheless hard for those who survive her. Please pass on my condolences to your husband.

Secondly…Julia. Dear sweet Julia!!! I loved the manicotti scene and the scene where she JUMPED out of bed to greet the day (“…joie de vivre means nothing until you’ve seen Meryl Be Julia…” — PERFECTLY said, Erika!!!)

Thirdly, I recently bought a condo and since I’m going thru treatment for cancer, it might behoove me to make a will. I’d love to have YOU do it, if you’re able and willing. Let me know

Lastly, I’m so, SO glad you wrote this. I’ve been thinking of you from time to time, but I’m so wrapped up in my own crap that I haven’t contacted you and I’m sorry.

Hugs! Far away ones, if need be

I can’t respond to this without getting personal, so I’m going to send you an email tonight instead, just…

know that you are not alone. In any of it.

Hope you are well.
