Well this is unusual. I can't remember the last time I started a new book where the first chapter is an authors note. I did think to put this at the beginning of the first chapter but it turned out quite long and I felt as if it needed it's own chapter.
I've been writing a book called turbulence recently and my plan was to upload that and then start this one shot book but after alot of thinking I've decided not to do that and come to the conclusion that I would like to make this book my last book.
I want to stress that I'm not quitting writing. This book will go on and on until I eventually one day either lose my love for joe and dianne (which I can't imagine happening) or i just don't want to write anymore. This will keep going for however long. That's why I decided to do a one shot book. One shots don't have ends and I have endless ideas.
I've decided to make this my last book because I feel as if I don't get the same feeling out of writing than I did a few years ago. When I first started this account everyone on this app was really good friends. We all supported eachother and everyone was writing. Now I think it's pretty apparent that I am the only person on this app still writing Joanne fanfiction. Not that that's a bad thing but I miss the interaction that came when there was so many of us on this app all getting excited for eachothers stories and giving eachother ideas. That pretty much doesn't exist anymore. I can understand why alot of people have come off this app the past few years but its just been me and my small collection of readers that are left now and I feel like there's not that much enjoyment when theres not that many people engaging becuase that is something which really motivates you to write. I'm really grateful for everyone who had read any of my stories and the ones of you still here, I cant belive you are to be honest. I'm really thankful to have those of you that have supported me.
The reason i think I've kept doing this for so long is because I genuinely have a love for literature. It's always been a passion I've had and after getting an 8 in my English lit gcse I've found what kind of writer I really am which has been massively influenced by this account so I hope that this book really shows everything I've become to be since I've started started writing on here.
I've been doing this about 5 years now. I belive I began in May, June or July of 2019 and I can remember writing my first ever chapter of my first ever book standing outside the front door of my house becuase I had forgot my key to get in. But I've written over 40 books, some of which aren't avaliable to read anymore because I am deeply embarrassed but this book is something I am really proud of already. I'm sure as you'll read it you'll see my writing has improved quite alot even from my last book. It's been something I've been on and off writing for a good while now.
I've written 7 chapters of my book turbulence and when I say 7 I mean there not in order. I wrote the first few then skiped the next and began writing again from there. I am going to sort of release it and the major moments from those 7 chapters I'm going to compile into a mini series for this one shot book so you will get to see it. Those chapters I think are some of My best work so I didn't want to not share it. Alot of the chapters I've already written for this I think are some of My best writing so I hope you all enjoy it.
If you would like to send in any ideas that would be greatly appreciated and I hope that by this being my last book you understand my reasonings. I tried to put it in a way which doesn't sound bitter because I'm not but it was hard to make it sound nice because this is something I've decided to do not becuase of anyone else but because it's what I think is right for me.
As I said this isn't me stopping writing. This book will just contuine on and on. For all I know it could be still going in 5 years time but I hope you enjoy what I go onto write in this.
The next chapter. The first one is called.....
Tatoos,babies and Brighton.
Its out now.
I hope you all enjoy....
