Wysteria

Hello Again!

Hello again all my faithful readers. I realize that this is coming out of left field so just bare with me :(.

First I want to start by saying I'm so sorry to all the people who have been waiting patiently! So many things have happened since I last updated and if you're interested, I'll explain down below. Regardless, a lot of you have stuck by my side and I realize with striking clarity that you all deserve the effort I have been putting into my other books/ every day life. So I'm trying.

That being said, I want to say a huge thank you to all my new readers, over the past few days I've gained about a thousand reads. Super, super, super cool and no I'm not crying. You all deserve some effort too.

So before I go on and on about what's been happening with me, let's talk about COTM.

Rebranding. I'm seriously considering rebranding.

COTM was started when I was around 15-16. I'm 21 now and looking back makes me cringe, it makes me sad, and it makes me unmotivated. It also makes me incredibly happy because it's almost like a time capsule. Any way, everything in COTM, even the name of the book itself, needs some modernization.

I had a person (or bot tbh) approach me and ask if I'd like to move to Goodreads and have my book published and I could only think... you want this... to represent your company?

And so I told her the honest truth, COTM is no where near ready for publishing. And then I decided it should be ready. Why isn't it?

So COTM will be completely changed. The name, the cover, a bit of the story line, maybe a few characters will come and go. I'm not entirely sure, it'll take some big boy thinking skills that I am severely lacking at the moment.

It won't all happen at once, and I won't take the story down. But some of the chapters will be gone as I will be creating a prequel with the flash back chapters at the start. Don't be alarmed, it won't take precedence over COTM. A lot of the author's notes will be gone too, so that I can start fresh and new. If you feel some type of way about this, which you shouldn't honestly, I doubt anyone will miss this book the way it is, no worries. I will leave the main chapters as is for a bit while I figure out a new name and cover and the likes.

Please, be warned, I have matured a lot over the years. So has my writing style (see Exhibit A on my profile- called What Once Was Mine) so Amaris and Rhylan will not be entirely the same. They'll be better.

With that being said, the rest of this will be about what's been going on with me.

Hi, My Wattpad name is truly_me. I am a 21 year old woman who reads more than I sleep. Over the past few years, my interest/passions for COTM has fluctuated. First it was because I lost my dad, so I wasn't interested in much. Then I started writing down my feelings, so a lot of the pain Rhylan shows Amaris comes from me. Then I fell out with my mom, moved 40 minutes away and started a job at a daycare. I worked with ages 0-5, from 8:30-6:30, Monday-Friday for 9 months. It quickly took over my entire existence. Don't get me wrong, I loved it more than I can express with words, but I stopped going to the doctor so I wouldn't have to call out. :0.

Then I had to move back to my city, and I got a new job. I'm still out and about, now for 12 hours a day, so I seem to have even less time. But I'll manage.

This is mostly so everyone knows that I'm not just not writing because I lost the passion. I haven't ever really lost it, just lost sight of it. But I always think of my readers, my supporters, my books and my words. The continuous support from you guys astounds me.

I was thinking about making a discord once COTM is up and running again.

Anyway, I've been running my mouth for long enough. Expect changes really soon, like tonight because I don't plan on sleeping much anyway. :)
