I took this down to edit it, and almost quit being a wattpad writer while doing all of it. I have no idea how bad my writers block will get this time around but I'll take it one step at a time (hopefully).
Updates will still be super slow as usual, that hasn't changed.

There won't be anything graphic or dark in this book but mental health will be mentioned throughout the book. In case it triggers anybody.
You guys can leave criticism or any errors, but if you're just going to be hating on my characters, story in general, or the plot just leave. 👉🚪There's the door.

This is a work of fiction. Unless otherwise indicated, all the names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents in the book are either the product of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
Don't be rude and don't copy work that isn't yours. You can take inspiration from any one of the characters (like traits) etc. But copying quotes, the plot of the story, and whole character personalities are not okay. It takes a lot of time and effort to think of and write things, have some sort of empathy.
In other words, in NO way shape or form is anyone allowed to copy my writing.

If any of you are here for smut, I'm telling you now there won't be any, not even an ounce of smut. I won't even be robbing you. There's no sexual tension, nothing of that sort because you don't need smut for it to be a good book (I'm not saying that this is going to be the best book you're ever going to read) but it doesn't need smut for you to call it a good book. Also because the characters don't need to have to sex to know that they love each other. So, you can either stop reading now and find another book with smut or you can keep reading and deal with the lack of smut.

A W A R E N E S SMy MMC is deaf. He had a cochlear implant and uses sign language and his voice to communicate. Now, I am not deaf or hard of hearing nor do I know someone who is so obviously writing about a character who is deaf will be challenging for me. But I will do everything in my power to make it as accurate as possible. If I write something that isn't true, someone please let me know. I don't want my writing to be wrong about these things. Keep in mind that anybody that is deaf or hard of hearing isn't the same thing for everybody. Also, this is not to add to the romance or the aesthetic, it's reality. There isn't even enough Deaf and hard of hearing representation in books.
My FMC has social anxiety. Her anxiety is based on my everyday life with it so this is my interpretation of social anxiety. I am not saying that it is the same for everybody. Everyone copes with it in different ways. This is how I handle my anxiety. And if you're just going to be hating on how it is handled, fuck off. She also has insecurities and a little bit of trauma. Surprise surprise her insecurities and childhood trauma are based off of me. If I see a comment saying she's a crybaby or pick me or that everybody is insecure about something and she's only doing it for sympathy or attention, SHUT. UP. I will delete your comment, I might even block you, kind of just depends on what you say.
My characters are not perfect. Nobody is. That's just how it is.

If you've read this far, I love you endlessly. Every single one of you giving my book a chance, I'll love you till the end of time. It means a lot to me. Thank you <3
I obsessively read all of your guys' comments, sometimes I go back to reread comments if I liked them so much. So feel free to say something funny or critique my book. Or tell me what you ate, your thoughts on the book, chapter, character, or paragraph, literally anything
( ◠‿◠ )I will also try to end each chapter with a question for everyone to answer or a mental health check in. I hope it'll build a community within this book and help me get to know my readers! Now I won't be able respond to any comments because my account isn't necessarily valid so wattpad wont allow me to follow, respond, or comment. But just know that I will read your guys' comments.
