Beyond my Beating Heart

THANK YOU (and a lil rant, but mostly thank you)

Hi! Wow, I know it's been a fat second since I hopped on here, and when I did, it was to post an EPILOGUE. A FREAKING EPILOGUE YOU GUYS!

It's so so so crazy to think that I've finally finished a project I've been working on for years. And I wanted to thank you for that.

Without you, and your constant support and motivating comments, along with your constructive feedback, I would NEVER have completed this. Not in a million years. This story was, in a sense, written by you, for you. I am so forever grateful for everything you constantly do to support me. Every word typed on here is a love letter to you. And seeing your comments make me the happiest gal alive, and I just want you to know how much you really mean to me.

When I started on this, i never thought it would become something that people actually read, or enjoy. But looking at you guys, I feel the need to pinch myself Becca there's NO WAY these lovely people could be reading MY story.

And don't worry, this journey isn't over yet, I will be editing this story and making some MAJOR changes (you can read more about that in previous authors notes) that I hope you'll like!

I love you so so so so so so much, please don't ever forget that<3

If you don't want to hear me rant and complain, just skip to the all caps message at the bottom ;)

Also, I wanted to touch on something that's been bothering me a bit lately.

When I first heard about Wattpad way back when, I absolutely adored the idea of authors getting to share their work and readers getting to read it for free. Knowing not everyone has access to paid e-books, I loved the idea of a community full of people that read and wrote without money being a goal or obstacle.

You can probably see where I'm going with this.

Ever since Wattpad came out with a premium option, I've felt kind of bummed out, it was no longer a place where you could read stories for free. And that bothers me. Not to mention the fact that you can now only have one story to read offline.

Now, this isn't to trash on the authors who choose to have paid stories, because I completely understand why it's in place. I understand that if you have a certain number of reads, it's an efficient way to make money. There's no buts to that.

The thing for me is that Wattpad to me, the biggest draw in was the fact that it was an all around free platform. And now it's not.

Saying this, just know that you will never have to pay to read anything I put on Wattpad. My goal is to eventually at least self publish this book after my editing stage, but it will always remain free on here.

I know this kind of turned into a rant, but I felt the need just to get that off my chest, anywho...

I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH THANK YOU FOR READING! I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND I LOVE YOU A LOT OKAY BYE
