It’s been a busy week so far, and I’ve been stressed. Not just stressed, but stressed to a ludicrous extent, out of proportion to the various stressors. I couldn’t figure it out, until I realized the problem: I had too many open tabs.
Too many works-in-progress, too many errands, too many people I needed to connect with about one thing or another.
As I close the tabs, I get more calm.

July 16, 2006 at 11:07 pmI just wanted to write and let you know that Empress was the first lesbian fiction book that I read and it has been such an inspiration. Thank you for writing it for people like me. I’ve always wanted to be a writer and your works have helped me to be motivated and to see that I could actually write about characters having the types of feelings that I have experienced myself. I am looking forward to reading your upcoming works and being continuously impressed by the way you write. -Erin Reilly
