Hi, it's me, Twi, the author. Oh god, I don't think there's any more stalling I can do... I'm putting this story, which is honestly my best work ever, out in the world. This is the longest story I've ever written. Did you know that since the word count is about 7,700, Minerva X isn't technically a short story? It's a novelette, which is a book that's 7,500 words or longer, in between a short story and a novella. And with all the extra, it's much longer. And much longer than it was before since the word limit was just 3,000.
I love this story so much. I love the plot. I love the characters. I love everything about it. I love that I was able to finish something that I'm so incredibly proud of. I love it so much that I spent hours and hours rewriting it, making and remaking all the graphics, and writing the Meet The Characters sections. Now all that's left is to... let it go. Let it go and hope that someone out there, somewhere, will love it as much as I do.
Someone I especially want to thank is my mom. She's on Wattpad, sovink_, and she joined because I made her, so she could read my fanfiction. (But she's not active at all anymore since she gets too annoyed when I ask her to read my new chapters). I've been nagging her to read Minerva X for the past couple of weeks, so she can serve as my editor/biggest fan. She's the second person to love this story as I do. THANKS, MOM. (she's never gonna read this, she's never online).
I also want to thank NattKuznetsov for making a beautiful cover (check out their cover shop, it's just full of talent), WritersBlock1316 for giving me a ton of constructive criticism on the book that I took to heart, my Wattpad fam (listed in bio) for supporting me and my story (especially BooksRMyDrugOfChoice and Keefoster44), and a few others for commenting on every single freaking line of the original version.
Lastly, I want to thank you, for whatever reason you have for reading this admittedly amazing novelette. Thank you for boosting my self-esteem by giving something I spent countless lengths of time working on a much-deserved read. No, I'm just kidding, lol. But seriously, thank you. I had the best time of my life writing, designing, and updating Minerva X. I hope you enjoyed this story.
