Preacher's Daughter: A Modern Clato Fanfic

October 2020 Update

Hi everybody! I'm first going to say that I am in fact alive and well. I realize that it's been almost five years since I last updated this story/posted anything on this account. But you want to know what still baffles me? That to this day, I am still receiving comments asking me to finish this story. If you would have told me when I started my Wattpad account that I would still be receiving so much love and support after stopping, I would have called you crazy.

It seriously does warm my heart, and I cannot possibly express in words how grateful I am for each and every one of you. Whether you're still active and read this story update my update way back then, or if you're a new reader diving into my books for the first time, I have a special place in my heart for all of you.

I went back and figured out I was starting this story right before I started high school. I started my Wattpad account in the seventh grade when I was in a really bad time in my life. I didn't know it at the time, but I was starting to develop an extremely draining anxiety problem, and at the time it seemed as though writing was the only thing I had going for me. I'm happy to say I'm doing much better now, and I'm thankful for the outlet Wattpad gave me.

I am writing this from my room in my sorority house during my sophomore year of college. (You read that right: COLLEGE! That makes me feel so old and it blows my mind how much time has passed). It's like we all grew up together, and I will always cherish the Hunger Games. I am currently re-reading the first book in Spanish, and it's bringing back so many memories. (Side note: you guys remember when I was first starting Spanish classes and was freaking out? Now I'm only three classes away from securing my minor in Spanish through my college... How's that for growth?!).

I am blown away by the love I still receive on all of my books, and for this one specifically, that you guys wish for me to continue on. I've addressed this a little bit in a few comments to some of you, but I figured it would be beneficial to pop on here officially.

I'm not updating.  I sincerely apologize if that upsets anyone greatly. I myself know how frustrating it is to get so invested in a story only for it to be unfinished. However, with that said, I'm at the stage in my life where I'm a much more mature writer than I was when I was in the process of writing this book. I've learned a lot about myself and I've grown a lot, and with my busy schedule it's hard to sit down and plan out where to move on with this story, especially after so much time has passed.

I'm thrilled to say that I started writing an original novel last November. It's crazy for me to say that I'm about a third of the way done with it, and even though it has taken me a long time, I truly hope it will end up physically in your hands one day.

Above all else, I will always be here lurking around seeing how you guys are reacting to my stories. The comments still make me warm and fuzzy on the inside, so for that thank you.

If you have any other questions for me or just want to chat, feel free to leave a comment. I truly do miss interacting with everyone, and I don't mind catching everyone up on my life as well as hearing about yours :) Also, if anyone wants to possibly hear the vague direction I was going to go with the rest of this book, let me know. It wouldn't be the same as chapter updates, but at the very least you may not be left as unsatisfied.

Again, I love you all and thank you so much from the bottom of my heart
