why it means a lot.

Really appreciate it if you genuinely with interest, read this whole thing. :)

Something I really wanted to mention is the reason why I'm so crazy obsessed with the last few chapters, I mean the fact that my character was getting shot.

When I realized I was going to put that plot twist in, I knew I wanted to write is as best as I possibly could.

So I did a lot of research on what it feels like to get shot, the emotional trauma, the recovery time, what your thinking, what it feels like when you sleep, when you wake up.

It meant a lot to me to get all that as perfect as I possibly could because I want to feel through my character how it would genuinely feel when she got shot, because words to me have become so important.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to know what it feels like to get shot, really, but everything happening in the world made me think how so many victims felt when the bullet hit their body and all they felt was pain.

I was a little relieved, it didn't hurt as much because of adrenaline in your body, the recovery hurt but whilst your on your death bed, possibly awaiting it, the last thing you want is to feel pain.

I wanted to show my empathy and compassion towards people who have gone through it and survived. So I wanted to make the emotions and feelings real.

I put myself in the shoes of every character to try and think what could possibly be going through my mind if that happened to someone I know.

Pressumably to many authors, getting their character shot simply adds to the conflict and drama in the book but for me it was very different. I really wanted to capture the emotional side of it all because writing had become very important to me.

The whole reason it took me so long to upload those chapters and keep editing it is because of the fact that all of it meant a lot to me. And I hope it do to you too.

These have genuinely been my favorite chapters so far.

And I do hope that you read the whole thing because it would mean a lot. And I also hope, I did these chapters justice with my writing :)

Thank you again for everything :) xx
