If it wasn’t for the wonderful castleland community, I may have ceased writing altogether in early 2013, but the supportive community of Castle fans kept the muses on task.

Let’s pretend that this entry was actually posted in December 2012, and not, um, an entire year late. Oops.

I began my first-full time “real” job in 2012, and it cut into my ability to write in many ways. However, I also met people who were fun and supportive of my writing and my real life; I am so glad that I met each and every one of them.
