Hello, I'm new in town, but I've lurked here for years. I only just got back to writing after a year long illness, so I'm feeling pretty positive to be here.

Nice to have you officially with us, Common Crow. We saw you in the shadows, of course, and hoped if we let you observe long enough, you'd come out.

And it worked!

Maryn, who'd like to borrow some of your positivity later today

Hello,

I'm also new. I've been writing part-time and came here to meet comrades in arms. Hoping that everything is going well. Also, I enjoy writing fantasy.

Welcome! Those long illnesses are the pits. I am glad you are on the mend or better.

Love the chrysalis!! What woollybear wouldn't?

Hi Common_Crow,

It's great to hear that you're feeling better and are back to writing again!

Have you heard of flower essences? Given your avatar, they might be a treatment modality that you'd really like.

Anyway, they were pioneered by a British MD, Edward Bach.

The flower essence Olive facilitates the healing process, both mental and physical. And the essence Elm can be taken to combat overwhelm as you work on catching up, while Impatiens can help with feeling frustrated.

If you're interested, you can learn more here:

Hello! Excellent to hear that you’re at a place where you’re able to write again. I know that I feel a certain emptiness in times when I’m not able to write. Looking forward to maybe seeing some of your work in the future.
