TW; mentions of death, grief
Apologies, but these are not story updates. This update will be on all three of my stories. Needless to say, I am quite surprised by how many of you still enjoy my work. I've seen many of your comments asking me to update and I really do love the feedback. Sometimes I feel like I don't owe anyone an explanation, and sometimes I feel like I should be transparent. Today, I'm choosing the latter.
Back in July, my husband passed away due to liver and kidney failure. It was sudden and traumatic. He was only 30 years old. I was alone in the hospital with him when he passed. I woke up to him gone. He had gone 24 minutes with no oxygen to the brain before they got his pulse back, but even then, the only reason he was breathing again was because of a ventilator. His mother and I had to be the ones to make the decision to let him go. I was at his bedside when his heart stopped for the last time. We had been together seven years.
So, at this point in time, I am grieving. The things that I used to love doing, I don't want to do anymore. I don't know who I am anymore. I have no idea if I'm going to write again. But believe me, I reread through my stories all the time, hoping that I could gain some inspiration.
I also know that I haven't written anything it quite sometime, even before this situation. I always get writers block. But, since I'm still actively getting comments, I figured I'd let everyone know.
Thank you all for taking the time to read through my turmoil. And thank you for all the love and support that I've gotten over the years.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
