Open Thread: Oracle Hotline

Hi everyone, I am so so sorry I disappeared off the face of the earth for a while there. My mother had surgery in late August, and shortly after that had a catastrophic aneurysm with no hope of recovery, so for a couple of weeks there was a mad scramble to hurry back to keep vigil at her deathbed and say goodbye, then getting everything in order, arranging the funeral, dealing with the emotional fallout. It's taken a huge amount of energy and I'm just barely starting to get my feet back under me on this, the exact one-month anniversary of her death. But I have missed talking about WiPs with you and hearing your updates.

I'm going to save a specific question for next week since this is a fairly heavy post, and instead I'll just ask: how is it going? Has the last month been kind to you and to your current WiP?

Ah, I've been wondering how you were doing, and I'm so sorry to hear that it's been for the same reason. I totally get that feeling of reintegrating and adjusting and how surreal it can feel. I'm glad your writing has been going well, at least--I hope that continues!
