staining my heart.

FINAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:
STAINING MY HEART.

i haven't even started writing this and i'm already crying.

this book means so much to me, more than anyone will ever know. it has made me cry, given me countless headaches and made me want to quit so so so fucking bad. really, being completely transparent here, i never thought i would actually finish this book.

but now that we are here, i can't thank y'all enough. this book might have been hell to write (like actual hell, you think it was hard to read?? imagine writing it lol) but it has taught me so much about myself than i could ever imagine. thank you for staying with me and reading the things that i think about all the time.

i think it is pretty clear that my writing career on wattpad is over. but it is definitely is not over outside of wp.

many people know this but i've wanted to write an original for so long. hence why i started here, to see if i was actually good enough to do something like that.

i've learned that i am. all because of you.

i've been published twice in the past year in two separate anthologies. which is the craziest thing in the world and it definitely would not have happened without y'all. i owe everything to my friends on here, to the people who have waited and supported me for so long. thank you for making my dreams come true.

i am working on an original novel, and working on my own collection of shorts. it's been so hard to balance work, writing and school. but i am so so forever grateful to have these overwhelming opportunities.

i'm always here. this isn't goodbye, trust me i'll still be reading and responding to y'all's ridiculous comments. but writing fanfics specifically... creating my own universe of stories is calling my name so much louder.

i love y'all very very much. thank you for giving me the confidence to continue writing. thank you for challenging me. thank you for being you.

and above all, thank you for staining my heart.

as always... much love,
mad ⭐️☕️💧
