Amber Takes a Detour has been through many bumps in the road. As I'm writing this, I'm only on the first chapter.

Though, me reading the first novel I've ever attempted to write always made me cringe and shudder in disgust. I didn't like it whatsoever. I tried rewriting it once and I stuck with it, but even that was horribly unsatisfying.

I'm proud of the younger me who attempted this and who pulled through. I remember, she was filled with passion and excitement. So eager to write her story down. I remember her, she never ran out of ideas and she was competitive too. At the time, she was writing because of an elementary teacher. Many of the students had to write too.

This young me had a best friend whom she looked up to and always strived to beat-- well, not always. Though, as time went by, the girl gradually lost interest and felt like she was being forced to continue the book. I couldn't blame her, as I look back at it now, the plot was utterly boring and just nonsense.

That's why I'm trying to make this first-attempt of a novel and make it something I'm proud to share. Those who are sticking around after reading this, thanks. Those who think this attempt is as horrible as the other ones (if you are one of the few readers who have read my first rewrite), thanks anyways for reading it.

New readers? Hope you stick around.

Sincerely,

Author
