I'm not dead. I'm still here... Windows just updated after I walked away for a few hours and having not saved the half a chapter I'd been working on before being called away, it vanished...
I should've shut it down instead of letting it sleep...grrrrrrrr.... (psst...new chapter in about 12 hours since I have to recreate what I was doing and Cora is just not obeying...now Ethan and Wen... just dancing along, but they're still far away storywise).
Got caught up in doctor's appointments and errands for the last few days (even got suckered into making strawberry cobbler!). I sincerely apologize!
