Hello! If you're reading this you're probably one of the most loyal people ever lol. So I'm imagining they're going to be a ton of questions running through your mind so here's a little Q&A
Q: What was this book and why is it in my library/reading list????
A: I don't know if you remember a story I wrote called "The Story of Me" about a girl named Kristen and a guy named Christian which I am currently banging my head against the wall because why did I have to make their names uber similar?? It's honestly disgusting. And yes, that was a terrible run-on sentence, but this isn't the actual story so whatever ;)
Q: So now that I (hopefully) remember what this was, what exactly happened??????
A: It was boring. I actually cringed reading, and rereading, and re-rereading.... So I decided it was best to just unpublish it overall. There was literally no plot, I was going with the flow. It was spontaneous, something I utterly suck at.
Q: What are you planning on doing with this story now? Or are you just here to tell us you're going to just delete this from existence and pretend you never wrote it?
A: No, this will not be deleted from existence, although this note will! Anyways, I am RECREATING this. THAT'S RIGHT!! You're probably facepalming or banging your head against the wall (please don't hurt your pretty head/face/brain cells). You're probably thinking "here we go again, more empty promises from Stella!" BUT! BUT! BUT! THIS TIME I'M READY! My "Wattpad Season" is literally right around the corner. So I've already planned 7/10 of the story out, I just need to write them and post them, and voila! A new, polished, and better-than-ever TSOM will be posted!
***edited haha more empty promises from Stella! But I'm going to post the first chapter to this :)***
Q: Is this another empty promise?
A: I'm not making empty promises. I always say "I might", "maybe", "hopefully", "I can post on/in _____ the earliest". I don't think I ever used the word "I promise I will" and didn't fulfill it. At least most of them. Anyways, besides school, I plan on being very committed to this story.
***edited yup, I was "very committed to this story *wrote only a chapter and half of another*"***
Q: You're using this story, so does that mean it's basically going to be a rewrite?
A: Yes and no. Things are going to be much smoother around here from now on. There's going to be fewer characters, and there's going to be a plot. The people I'm hoping you all ship do not have similar names (cringing), and I'm pretty sure I've completely changed mostly everything. There's only one person from The Story of Me who is keeping her name in the new story and her role. Also, you might see some parts very similar to some in The Story of Me. When I unpublished the whole story I was intending on rewriting it but decided to take an 180. I literally cut out every single character from The Story of Me, but the ones that stay, their names are different besides the one I previously mentioned. The same mood will be in the new story also.
Q: What exactly is the new story's title? Or is it still The Story of Me?
A: It isn't The Story of Me, the title difference will literally have one difference. I'm replacing the word me, with us. Therefore, the new story's title is called The Story of Us.
UPDATE: I have changed the story's title to Stargazing.
***edited whale shit! how many times did I publish and unpublish this?!?!***
Q: Does this mean Kristen and Christian are gone?
A: Hate to break it to you, but yeah. On a higher note, they'll still be here in spirit. They're literally the same characters but with different names. As I said in a very old note that's gone, I renamed Christian to Charlie. So the male lead's name will still be Charlie. Just think of it as a nickname. Although Charlie and Christian could be somewhat similar, Kristen's new name is absolutely the opposite. Kristen's new name is Olive.
Q: What's a "Wattpad Season"?
A: If you have an idea, congratulations. Everywhere worldwide, people have a bunch of silent rules that are unsaid but everyone just instinctively follows them. Like a lot of people normally have story's with chapters in multiples of five. Some people's description is either a quote or the whole summary, there's no in between. "Wattpad Season" is simply summer. It's "Wattpad Season" because school's out, the abundance of updates from numerous writers, and writers have the time to get their shit together (like me).
Usually, people say "fun facts" but here are "sad facts" that you probably didn't know:
-In my copyright notice, I always have the summary and the date I began writing. I thought of this story idea on April Fools
-April Fools 2015 was the worst day of my life
-Most of the scenes in this story had happened to me
-This story was literally a diary that's why it had no plot
-If you haven't caught on, this was literally the story of me.

ps, if you have more questions about this that I didn't cover, feel free to comment, or inbox me.
***EDITED: OK LET'S BACK THE F*CK UP!:
-I created The Story Of Me to help me through several of the roughest points of my life and as stated probably multiple times, this story had NO plot.
-Probably nobody has any clue what I wrote because it's been a good two years lol
-But that's okay! ^
-If any of you have this saved in your library and you somewhat remember, bless you
-Comment below if you remember (if any of you will even bother commenting!)
-I will have Stargazing up, it is going to be a very longggg work in progress since my brain had a burst of motivation to pull out my rugged notebook that hasn't been touched in about a year and a half. Also the fact that my junior year (aka the hardest year of high school in Amurrrica), starts in about two weeks!
-So I'm so sorry that I suck a$$ and maybe nobody will even bother reading this :)
xoxo, Stella
ps: I want you all to know that it's ok to cry, it's ok to be sad. Just know that over time, things WILL get better
pss: I am a much more happier person compared to the girl who was writing the story of me in the eighth grade :)
psss: I LOVE YOU GUYS
pssss: Don't forget that you are loved.
