It was the year I really rediscovered my love of Doctor Who. I found Sherlock, Torchwood, Supernatural and Superwood. I went to my first con as an adult and cosplayed for the first time. I started this tumblr. I wrote fanfic for the first time in 15 years. I published my first book.<\/p>\n<p>2013 was the year I learned to dream again.<\/p>\n<p>A couple years ago I was ready to give up writing. To put it on a shelf marked \u2018unrealistic\u2019 and \u2018never happen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now I have roughly 180,000 words on AO3, and an amount of hits that blows my mind. I have a book you can buy on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>I want to thank you. Some you have become basically family and you know who you are. And for everyone who has read or said a kind word or liked a fic or a post or reblogged something: you have quite literally changed my life.<\/p>\n<p>I changed my major last week because you\u2019ve given me the confidence to stretch. You\u2019ve helped me believe in myself as a writer.<\/p>\n<p>So thank you. All of you. My life would be poorer by far without all if you in it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s to an amazing 2014.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>*Curls up around you and your tumblr and just purrs*<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/10b7669db329196cd8d13f3ec6cb460b\/tumblr_inline_myamf5MaQl1r3xpx0.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/78.media.tumblr.com\/98b8c23c65f30d4e030cd1eb84d8b97c\/tumblr_inline_myamo6hO4D1rw8a11.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;re so awesome \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>awabubbles: merindab: We\u2019re almost to the end of the year, the normal time to look back. 2013 has been a lot of things to me.
