Here Lies the Lives Left at the Altar (On Hold)

Author's Note

Hi everyone!

So happy to be back and writing more stories on Wattpad :)

You know the drill, here's a few notes before you begin:

1: As always, be kind. I work incredibly hard on my books and if you don't like my books or my writing or the plot or the characters, that's fine! I don't care! You don't have to tell me actually, you can just stop reading. As I said in the author's note for Just for Tonight, this isn't an airport and you don't have to announce your departure. Be kind towards me and anyone else reading this book!!

2: I'm trying a new writing style! Typically, I write third person POV with insight into one character specifically and in the past tense. This book, I've made the weird decision to challenge myself and write in dual first person POV in the present tense. So, the POV will switch back and forth between my characters likely every chapter. This is my first time doing this, so PLEASE be kind! If you see any grammatical issues like I write in the past tense or I don't use first person, just leave a quick comment, but still be kind about it!!

Also with that being said, this book will stylistically be very different than Just for Tonight. First person POV feels like it has to be choppier for me with more unfiltered thoughts. In third person, I'd write something like "Rosie loved his eyes, they were a gorgeous dark brown" but in first person, it would be more like "And his eyes. God. I almost gasped when I first saw those eyes", so it's less smooth writing and more direct insights to their thoughts.

3: Please, please comment and vote!! It means the world to me to see comments and votes!! And by the way, I read them all!! Even after winning a Watty for Just for Tonight and waking up to 500+ notifications a day for a week, I went through each one and read everything people say!! Comments mean the absolute world to me, I love seeing reactions to my book.

4: Please do not promote yourself on my books or steal my work. Just don't do this.

5: And THANK YOU for clicking on my book and deciding to give it a shot!! I've always wanted to try my hand at writing a grumpy/sunshine trope that isn't cliche and has my own twist to it. I hope that you guys love Archer and Rosie!!

Also, I did this for Just for Tonight, and it was so much fun learning stuff about my readers!! So let's do some questions!!

1: What's your age? (I'm 21)

2: Where do you live? Drop your flag! (🇺🇸)

3: What's your favorite TV show or movie? (I have a million. The Vampire Diaries, Julie and the Phantoms, The Outer Banks, WandaVision, I could keep going)

4: What's your favorite book? (I also have a million of these, Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Beach Read by Emily Henry, Verity by Colleen Hoover, The Deal by Elle Kennedy, and Life's Too Short by Abby Jimenez)

5: What time are you reading this at? (For me, it's 1:48pm)

6: How did you find this story? (I wrote it ha)

7: Say anything here!! A fun fact either about you or something random, or maybe how you're doing, if you have any fun plans or anything!! (My fun fact is that I get all my ideas for my books in this very specific shower with specific lighting and music that's at my Dads house)
