a/n: Thank you so much to Stacy Rogers for giving me the inspiration to write this one. She asked for a companion piece to Dear Diary from Castle's point of view, and here goes. I hope it doesn't disappoint! xoxo K

Write they say. It's easy they say. You've written a best seller before. Just do the same thing. Again.
Newsflash. It's not that easy. I can't do it again.
Derrick Storm is dead and so is any and all inspiration I thought I had.
Dead. Dead. Dead.
No one understands what I'm going through. Not even Alexis, no matter how hard she tries. Do you know what I see when my daughter looks at me? Concern. Maybe a bit of disappointment. I'm supposed to be her hero. I'm not supposed to give up.
But maybe that's what I should do. Maybe I shouldn't be a writer any more.
Rick
