After Hiatus
I'm Back!

As you can see, it's been a good four years since I've been active here, as iKïyå§ama Author Icon has pointed out. *Smile*

Other than the weekly check-ins of scoping email, and the newsfeed, I haven't done much writing. Buying a gas station and having the grandbaby take up most of my time.

I came back after an invite from Lyn's a Witchy Woman Author Icon asking if I was up for joining House Florent for GOT. I've done it a few times and always found it challenging, stressful, rewarding, etc. How could I say no to that? So here I am, writing, reviewing, reconnecting! It's been amazing.

I've realized how much I missed this place and the people. I'm scratching my head wondering how I let this part of me go. This community is the absolute best, and that's not just my opinion. Look around you at the friendships you've made over the years and all the help you've received as we are all on this shared writing journey.

I jumped right in, hit the "Game of Thrones"  Open in new Window. by Creeper Of The Realm Author Icon realm running, and haven't slowed down yet.

Being welcomed back by everyone has touched me deeply. It's been a bit overwhelming, but some days I feel like I've never left. How can people I knew four years ago, pick right up where we left off back then so easily? It is heartwarming, and I realize that is the best part of WdC. These relationships, the wonderful people who care about you, give you honest advice about your craft and life, listen to you vent [yes, I'm talking about you NaNoKit Author Icon], and always cheer you on.

I've reconnected with so many of you, and I appreciate it. I want you all to know that even if I haven't mentioned you by name.

So here I am, back at WdC, looking forward to no more weekly check-ins. This community gives me a sense of belonging I haven't felt in a long time. For that, I thank you! *Heartv*
