I have a big question for you all! Do you all want me to update the story as it is or take the time to go back through and edit the story to flow and work the way I have had planned for a while now?

As is means you all like my writing from when I was 15 (which was 4 years ago... oof) and would like for me to continue to write the story in what to me feels rushed.

Editing would mean, basically starting over. The chapters I already have posted here will still happen in a sense, just with editing as I plan to add more to the story before those chapters occur and to make it not be as rushed as it was when I was writing this book at 15.

Please vote on which you prefer by placing a single comment on the emboldened word titling the version. Thank you!

Summary and Future:

2015: Freshman in high school, published the beginnings of this book to Wattpad.
2016: Sophomore in high school. Moved back to my home town.
2017: Junior in high school. My mental health tanked like none other and I lost the motivation to do anything I enjoyed.
2018: Senior in high school. Broke my back in April and had a very bad car accident in November. Both requiring a lot of physical therapy and attention towards healing and not making things worse.
2019: Car accident from the year before having issues and recovery spill over into this year. Pulled a Hail Mary and managed to graduate high school by basically completing an entire year of school in half of the school year. Started college.
2020: I have plans to write and finish this book at the very least. Having now been in college for 2/3 trimesters of my first year in college, I have begun to understand my work schedule for college and it is making time management easier for me to be able to do the things I enjoy like writing and other arts.

Eye Opening:

The amount of comments, votes, notifications to this story being added to reading lists, and just overall interaction I have with you all is amazing and has opened my eyes to some things.
• Those of you reading's this have liked my writing, or at least didn't find it to be so cringeworthy you had to stop reading. Which is amazing to me! You have all been so very important in helping me to regain my motivation for writing.
• If I am to go through and edit, I will be removing the whole pictures of models/celebrities to show who I've used as a base for character appearance details. I've had a few of you comment on how you don't picture them and how you don't like who I had used (again, I was 15) and I've come to the decision in that that is completely okay. Reading is a different experience for each and every one of us, and the image of the character I am writing that is produced in your head when you read my words is something that is important to each of you. Having myself add a picture of the celebrity I had happened to use as the base is like if I were the casting director of a movie, had glanced over the character description and thrown an actor at you all that tarnished how you envisioned the character when reading.
• If I am to count myself as a reader from when I'd gone back to reread what I have written already, I have grown in my writing enough to find that my writing of this story hadn't improved too much at 15, as far as how rushed it feels, as the very first version I had begun writing of this story at 13. This story to me is nothing but cringe at this point due to the rushed feeling I get from it and how I was like, this werewolf libido is going to have Daniel immediately like, "Ugh, must pin him against wall and claim him. Right now. Sex, with him, for the rest of our lives." I hate that about my writing from when I was 15, but I want you all to have some say as you're the readers.

Thank you all once again! If  you all would like for me to continue to work on this story, in order to give me something to post as a small buffer between writing for which ever is voted upon, would you all like to do a "Meet the Author" type thing where I answer questions you may have for me and those basic questions that tell you all lore about myself as a person/author? If you would like that, comment any questions or things you would like to know here please.
