You're not gonna fucking believe it, girl, but I finally posted it. It's finished. It's done. Damn near 10 years of work, and it's finally over. It feels bittersweet. And weird, since I'm typing this while still in the outlining stage, but it's gonna feel so good to reread this once I'm officially done. You did it! Yay!
Trust me, it's gonna feel like you'll never get to this point, but you do. You're going to go through so many different mediums with this story, so many different formats, hardships, and points of view changes. (If I could've stopped you from writing half the story in first person, I would've.)
You're going to go through so much to get to where you are right now. In a couple of weeks, someone close to you is going to pass, and it's not going to be something you can talk about or grieve properly. You're going to watch AMC's horror fest, you're going to get obsessed with slashers, and you're going to find an amazing story on Fanfiction.net that you'll binge in a week. It's going to take over your life, to the point where you want to make your own slasher story.
You wrote that story in a notebook during class, hid in when a teacher came over to see what you were doing (very fucking embarrassing, might I add). You attempted to put it on Quotev, but that computer was slow as hell. You made Cheyenne's outfits on Polyvore, you got rid of characters just to add them back, you changed names- you are going to make an entire fucking map of Springwood just to not use it.
You're going to lose sleep over this story during quarantine. When school is in person again, you're going to finally tell someone about Wonderwall, you're biggest embarrassment (at the time), and they're going to do something horrible to you a few weeks later.
But you wouldn't know all this yet. If I could go back, I'd tell you to keep playing with your dolls and not to grow up too fast, but I can't. So, keep writing. Wonderwall is a canon event.
For 11-year-old me
This story would've changed your life. This one is for you.
