This is a story I am extremely excited to share :) I know many people will enjoy it.
There's a huge story behind it, and I feel inclined to tell you.
So, the story starts out in sixth grade. Two best friends (Ahem, me and Hannah). We were two peas in a pod, inseperable. We had dreams, and had dreamy thoughts. We were dreamy about two boys;Two amazing, adorable boys. Naturally, it was instinctive to write fanfiction and future hopes about them. I loved writing, writing about the boys. We picked between the two boys, deciding one for each of us. We were hopelessly in love, and they didn't know well that we existed. Their names will remain unknown, but I can say that we were addicted to the thought of them.
It was when we started writing future hopes about our lives with them one day that I started a book, just a book, I thought at the time. When finished with the book, I gave it to Hannah, and she read with adoration. She told me that this needed to have more, more, more, more!!! So I continued writing the story, tiny little books that I stapled and crafted together and wrote with a consistent current. It flowed so well, and we couldn't help but share the tiny books with our friends. They loved it, they wanted more.
It started.
I decided. It would be a series, an imagined dream that we wished could come true. A work of hope and art that people wanted to see, and to share me and Hannah's dreams were something to feel proud and thankful of.
The series became a success, and Hannah and I paired as a team, switching off writing the tiny books to the story, always excited and full of anticipation as the other wrote away. Tons of people read the books, and eventually I had to get a binder to hold the books in, and keep a Check Out list to keep track of who had what book.
It was a dream come true, a beautiful thing. The Smith Clincekei Series ran together in synchronization, flawlessly.
We wrote continuously, up until the end of 7th grade.
The books still aren't finished, nor do we have the time to work on them (8th grade is an irritating rash that won't go away.)
But. We have successfully written 25 tiny books (so typically 25 chapters). It's quite an accomplishment, and its one that will most likely make you feel.
You'll grow attachments to our characters. You'll have favorites, and you'll cry when it gets rough, laugh when it gets funny, and smile when you see the bright side erupting in the darkness. You'll get tingles inside when there's kisses, you'll get upset when a character pisses you off, and you'll be worried when it's intense.
You'll grow a relationship with this book, as we have, and it'll be fun to see.
It's because this is us. This is Hannah and I in words. We are sharing our hearts with you, our thoughts and creativity. It gives you a piece of us.
This year Our Baby (the first book ever written in the series) is three years old. The paper feels like money, and the smell brings back memories of its creation.
I hope you enjoy it.
We love you all so much and want to thank you for reading.
Love,
Vannah and Hannah
or, our character's names,
Durina Clincekei and Larenna Smith
