Dolphin Tale 4

Author's Note

Wow.

What can I say? It's been a while since I began this, and wow...it's over. I feel...sad, happy, overwhelmed...a whole multitude of emotions. What about you? How do you feel?

Let me just say that it's been one heck of a ride.

Right. Onto the acknoledgements and thank you's. Beware, there are quite a few! In no particular order...

...and the list is literally never-ending. I'm so sorry if your username isn't on here—there were just so many that I lost track... If your username isn't here, just let me know and I'll happily add you to the list. Thank you so much. You guys have stuck by me since DAY ONE of DT4, and I'll be forever grateful for that!

A huge thank you goes out to every single voter, commenter, reader, follower because it's you guys who make me want to continue writing. You're my driving force :) Even the silent readers out there contribute in some way or another. Remember, I am always seeking constructive criticism from my readers, so dont hesitate to voice your opinions and thoughts.

Now, the topic that everyone's been waiting for... SEQUEL...?

Before, I wasn't planning on writing a "Dolphin Tale 5" because I believe that Sawyer and Hazel's relationship should be left up to your wonderful imaginations. However, with all the support I've received, I'm going to contemplate writing it. If I do end up wanting to write it, I suppose I'll start writing when I come up with a solid plotline... But, for the time being, I'm going to work on my other fiction books [I have about 20 of them all queued to be written]... So keep an eye out for them, too.

If I do end up writing a sequel, I'll post a status, and I'll update this chapter... If I don't, then feel free to continue from where I left off. Write a "Dolphin Tale 5" your way, or write one-shots or whatever. I don't really mind.

Once again, thank you so much for all your amazingly awesome support you've blessed me with :) Thank you so, so much!

~ Catherine.

U P D A T E ...

There will be a "Dolphin Tale 5". Did you hear me? There W I L L be a "Dolphin Tale 5"! It's thanks to all the support you've given me, and because I, personally, want to write it. That aside, I'm not exactly sure when the very first chapter will be up. I still have a lot of planning to do... We'll see.
