Hi there!

Now that we're at the end, thank you so much for reading my story! This had been a WIP since May 2020, when the COVID-19 lockdown was in full swing. I had the idea for this story for a very, very long time (since middle school!), and well, the quarantine gave me that push to start writing it! At first this was going to be a short story, but it developed into something much more elaborate as time went on. A lot of the characters, settings, and plot points were absent in the original idea, and were created as I wrote.

Looking back, its surreal that I even finished this story. I'd never written a novel before, only short stories for school assignments and such. As my first novel, this story means a lot to me and my personal growth. It's not the best writing out there by any means, but man, I'm glad I jumped into it! I wrote this during a very hectic period in my life: there was COVID-19, adapting to online classes, discovering Wattpad and Discord, finishing my bachelor's degree and transitioning to pharmacy school, the list goes on! I've met a lot of wonderful and talented people during this time---  on the old Wattpad forums (they are sorely missed), Discord writing servers, Wacky Writers, and in real life.

So, what's next?

What's next for OSWaJS? Since this is a first draft, I plan on going back and making some edits. However, this may not happen for a long time, as I want to let this draft sit before reading it over again. Additionally, there's other projects I want to tackle next, so my focus will be on those for a while. There's also things I want to focus on outside of writing, mainly finishing pharmacy school and starting my career in that field, along with developing my other hobbies and doing life stuff.

For the time being, you are all welcome to enjoy this story as it is now!
