For mumbly-many years I have intended to subscribe to accounts I've stumbled across by clicking through on reading lists. It turns out for incentive, all I needed was to be trapped away from home for six weeks until I was desperate for connections that did not focus on elder care.

So hello! Thank you to all of you who subscribed back! I'm afraid I'm not much of a commenter, but know that I read and appreciate your posts.

You're welcome!

[cathrowan]

Thank you! I've been enjoying your astronomy photographs.

You're welcome! Hi!

[cathrowan]

Thank you! I hope your new job is going well.

*Waves back!* Hello, and it's nice to see a post from you.

[cathrowan]

Thank you! Your photos of green fields and lambs are a comfort as I look out the winter at another prairie snowstorm today.

Hi! I, too, am bad at commenting but I do keep up with reading my reading page, and it's nice to have people vaguely around.

[cathrowan]

Hello! I always learn something when I read your book roundups, thanks for doing them.

[ada_hoffmann]

Thank you! I'm very behind on those right now (super-busy semester at work just finished) but hoping to get back into them soon.

Hello, it's nice to see you :)

[cathrowan]

Thank you! I love your book reviews.

Hi! I don't always comment (because mostly I feel like I don't have a ton to add to the convo) but I generally read the posts on my (reading) page as well. #Lurker for the win!

[cathrowan]

Thank you! I'm an urban person, so the horse life is far from my personal experience. You are a vivid writer and I find your training notes fascinating.

Hello!

(On my end, there's a locked intro post at the top of my journal which has a bunch of useful background, possibly also generally amusing, and I am amiable about questions about any of it.)

[cathrowan]

Hello! I have bought a bunch of your Celia Lake books. I love watching your characters figure out life and how to support each other.

[jenett]

Hello! I am delighted to hear that. (If you would like to be on the writing filter, I am glad to add you: it is normally things like me tracking numbers, but sometimes also bits of me being amused at stuff kiya and I have worked out.)

[cathrowan]

Oh, yes, please add me to the filter. I used to work in publishing and still enjoy industry-related discussion even though I am just a bystander now.

[jenett]

Added! Everything on that filter should have a subject line that starts with [writing] (and usually also writing as a tag, to make it easier to read back, if you wish.)

I enjoy your process notes; it may not be a craft I do but it's neat to hear about your work.

[jennlk]

I post infrequently, comment even less, but always nice to have a new "voice"

I am not a musician but I have many friends who are. I am amazed at your concert participation - it must take so much energy.

[dewline]

Understood!

Greetings from Edmonton! Where it is snowing again. Last Tuesday it was +22. The first appointment I could get to swap out the snow tires wasn't until next Monday. So I guess the delay turned out to be a fortunate thing.
