The Higher Define (2018)

END ▷ AUTHOR'S NOTE & CREDITS

So if you're reading this, I just want to give you a hug. You're honestly the best! Thank you so much for reading all the way through and following Aspen's journey as a perfect Define to something else, I guess?

Anyway, I'm in love with this book and the plot. Not to sound arrogant or complacent but I'm really, truly happy! This is officially the third Science Fiction original novel that I have completed and I'm just so glad!

What else to say, hmmm. I guess I might be doing a sequel in some time if this one becomes a success but as of today, 15 September 2018, I will be editing this book. Major edits that pertain to grammatical errors and technical errors. Nothing too major or crazy!

The ending may ring a little rushed but I swear that when I edit, I'll take a look at it and see how I can change stuff up.

Wow, this is becoming less of an author's note and more like an author's rants. Okay! Time for special thanks! To all these lovely, incredible people-

For the stunning cover that just speaks the plot of the story- shadednights.
Honestly, I am in debt to you! You make all the best covers and though I keep requesting, you never get angry and tell me to leave (which is what I would have done)
So thank you!

For the stunning segment banners- MIRACULOUSNESS.
The banners are perfect, and underrated. You totally deserve more attention, especially on your book which brought inspiration to me at the strangest times. In a good way, of course.
For those who are reading this and clueless, the book that I'm referring to is called 'Brother Grimm' and it's honestly amazing. It gives me The Mortal Instruments vibes but it's not, at the same time because it's special in its own way, too.

For being an amazing friend, an awesome inspiration and to top it all off, a crazily talented writer- queen_of_sass!
You are, as your name suggests, a queen! Honestly, you're so sweet and helpful- always willing to message and encourage me when I need comfort the most!
Honestly? You are amazing! Your writing skills are great and what kept me going even after my disappointment regarding The Wattys, was you.
Let's face it- I was expecting you to win ans go all the way because your writing is so good? So when you wrote that message about emerging stronger than ever?
That was the push that made me continue this book.

And for being a commited, dedicated reader, that bright star in a dark night who supported this book the entire time- Hyssia! Because, honestly? When I wrote this, I never expected to even get a real, legitimate reader.
And then you showed up and it was like I didn't need anything else. I didn't need an award or great amounts of reads and votes because I found someone who was willing to sacrifice time to read this book?
That is commitment that I will forever be grateful for. That is commitment that makes me smile when I'm at school and my classmates are terrible or during a boring Math lesson.
Like, all these words just cannot convey how much I appreciate you (:

That's all for dedications! Those who were mentioned above, you're simply awesome and I'm just glad that you guys exist in my Wattpad life. Writing this book was so difficult but you guys made writing it easier with all your help, by making the graphics for me because I suck at graphics (haha) and your endless support!

I totally want to end this chapter of grattitude with something that I think everyone should know, even before they read this book- I came up with this idea during Math class. Oof. I don't know why but I'm just so proud of that, oops!

Anyway, much love to those mentioned, to the reviewers and critiques behind the scenes that spent their time picking apart every single piece of this book. I'll be taking ALL your advice into consideration when I edit! (:

Oh yeah! One more thing that I want to write here because honestly, I kind of need my ego to be inflated right now.
This is the longest piece of work that I have ever written! At 70 plus chapters, this book is officially my longest novel! Yay!

I promise that is all! Oh! I also want to thank myself for letting all my crazy thoughts convert into such a story! ^_^
That's right! Maybe ten years later, I'll be looking back and seeing how bad this story is (?) or how cheesy this note is but as of tonight, as of today, I love this world that I have created, this book that I have written!

Extra thanks to Joelle Charbonneau, author of The Testing series which is the series that keeps me writing and Katherine McGee, author of The Thousandth Floor which has inspired me to write this.

Extra thanks to the official Young Adult Wattpad account for adding this book to their reading list.

Extra thanks to the official DystopianApocalypse Wattpad account for adding this book to their reading list.
