I seem to have my depression back under control. I worked a little on "The Linen Butterfly" and a good bit on a side project, an erotic story that might form part of an anthology of erotic stories that are a sort of sexual canon for my "occidentania cycle," covering some of the more lurid backstory dump that would have been too distracting for the novels. For example, I never talked about the fact that Apollo Morrill is bi and has male and female friends with benefits even though that's canon; it just never came up. I think it might stir interest in the cycle without having to be wedged into the existing manuscripts.

Good to hear.
I my case writing helps, reading what I have written is what fills me with despair.
