Pancakes | (bxb) ✔️

Author's Note (Please Read!)

Hey guys, there are some things I need to address. This will be long but I'd appreciate if you guys would read through it!

I understand that some of you don't really like the fact that this book's basketball is unrealistic. I don't mind constructive criticism, but I'm still a sensitive person and I do a little bit of research about stuff I'm absolutely unsure about before I write (except for the hot air balloon scene, I didn't know it was so complicated so thank you to those of you who explained it to me!) so when someone says that I don't know jackshit about what I'm writing, it hurts.

Yes, my basketball scenes were unreal but that was the point. They weren't supposed to be completely realistic, it's a wattpad book. I'm writing for fun, so I just put ideas together and make a book I think would be interesting whether it's completely realistic or not.

I admit that someone short as 5'4 is close to impossible to being a super star in basketball, but I don't believe that it's impossible. Sure, we've never seen someone as short as that in the NBA but I'm sure there's at least one person in the seven billion people of this world who's under average height but is amazing at the sport nonetheless.

Also, the scene where everyone goes to guard Axel and leaves everyone else open. Yes, it's stupid and that scene was meant to be stupid. It was supposed to exaggerate Axel's skillset and how everyone feared him even because of his height. Plus, it was a PE class where people in that class don't play the sport. They wouldn't make the decisions that a professional player would make because they don't play the sport. It was a stupid decision, yes, but it was supposed to be written as a stupid decision.

I understand how basketball works, I've played on a team before and I watch games. Yes, the way I wrote the scenes were exaggerated but they were based on an unrealistic anime. I got my inspiration from it so there will be parts where it's completely unrealistic (like Axel's accuracy in a full-court shot).

Now, addressing the speed at which Jay and Axel get together, I admit that it was way too fast and too underdeveloped. I've never written a book before nor have I ever been in a relationship, so my writing for those few chapters were completely trash. I'd love to rewrite Pancakes later on but I don't know if I will. I labelled it as fast paced because it is (although I didn't initially intend it to be) so I apologize to those of you who would've preferred their relationship to have been more clearly developed.

I have learned a lot from writing this book and reading your comments, and I will incorporate what I've learned into my future books. I'd appreciate if you guys give me the benefit of the doubt and read my future books which I hope will be better.

That's all guys, thank you for reading this.

Stay healthy!
