It's Just Us [🗸]

exciting news, projects and a new move!

hi everyone!!

firstly, i want to express just how much you all mean to me. 470K reads is wild, not to mention the millions amassed over all my books. 

publishing It's Just Us on here led to so much love and support that i could've never imagined when i was drafting james and will on my notes app. i definitely couldn't have imagined an amazing community or a watty's shortlist award would come out of it.

and cringe as it may sound, it is all because of you guys and this community.

i was able to create this whole interconnected "hayle-verse" with your support and readership and it has been an amazing past 4 years, from several chaotic comment sections to a physically published work.

as most of you may know, i haven't been as active this past year due to being busy with college and work and moving. but this platform has remained ever important to me and has stayed up because of it. 

i actually almost accidentally deleted this account a few days ago, and i was lucky enough to get it back relatively unchanged, but it made me realize how important these stories and connections have been to me, especially since i haven't been as active on wattpad as i used to be.

as we're all growing and changing, so is this platform. and you might have noticed that most of my books have been moved over to patreon. 

i think that this move will be a great way to monetize my work and share my stories with you, giving you the ability to download and access my work offline as well.

HOWEVER, i am not necessarily leaving this app behind just yet. i will be keeping It's Just Us up for starters, mainly because it's the story where everything begins, and i definitely feel as though i owe it to you as readers to have access to the book where it all began. 

i think i'll have my other stories up here as well, but in a preview format. this will pretty much be all of my other books except Unconventional, which will stay in the drafts unless there's interest in seeing it posted.

in addition, i am also open to working on some new novella projects for you guys, based on stories you want to see. for example, characters whose stories i have yet to tell but had cameos you enjoyed. 

i think during these stressful times, stories and representation are more important than ever. please always feel free to reach out to me or ask me any questions. i have all my info in my bio, shoot me a message whenever!

lastly, thank you so much for your support, whether you're sticking to wattpad or following me to patreon or both or neither. thank you for being part of my journey, wherever it might take us next <3

xxx,

hayle
