Red String [h.s] (Completed)

One more letter

Here's another letter, written to all my readers. Felt like you deserved it <3

Oh, and a bonus letter from Harry ;)

Dear Readers,

I began writing this story in the middle of the pandemic. I was on lockdown with my husband and kids and needed a creative outlet. I wrote constantly when I was younger and always had this fantasy of moving to some foreign city where I would spend my days at a quaint cafe writing. But then I went to university and that dream got put on the back burner.

The good thing that's come out of the pandemic, is that I've had a chance to start writing again. I started writing again about something traumatic that happened to me and when that got too heavy I would write this story. All your comments and love have given me the confidence to keep going. It's like writing and I have been tangled in a red string of our own and it pulled me back because I'm in love with it again.

When I see that people are reading and enjoying my story, it fills up a spot in my heart that I didn't even know was empty. But I'm certain it was because it feels so full today. Like all of your likes and comments are stacked one on top of another in there.

On days I release chapters, I make a deal with myself that I have to go for a long walk or exercise in some way before I'm allowed to check my notifications. I make myself earn each and every notification. I try to respond back to every comment because engaging with you all seems like we are part of our own little book club. The type of book club that can only exist in 2020.

To E_L_C_01 you were my first real WP supporter and I'm forever grateful for you. I could always count on you to brighten my day with your comments. They made me laugh, smile, and beam with pride. You made me understand what a community this place is. I hope when I read and comment on your story that you feel the same way. So much love to you! xx
(Go check out her book!)

The support from all of you has been tremendous and I'm incredibly thankful that you all chose my book to read. I love reading all your thoughtful comments. They make me think harder about my characters and my storyline. Xx
(CaathyX has a great book!

harryxstyles010294  what would I do without your no filter comments LOL I love all of them! Thank you for being such a passionate reader and always telling me exactly how you feel about the story! Xx

_yveszaynlaurent93 your comments were always so appreciated and made me laugh so hard. Plus, your username is amazayn! ;) xx

bokenoyaboke when I sent you a DM in the early stages of my book to thank you for all your comments and likes on my story you sent me the nicest reply about wanting my story to get more love and I'll always remember that! Xx

BeachyCreek  you gave me the nicest compliment on my writing in a DM and I literally wanted to print it and hang it on my fridge. Thank you! You inspired me to write more and always put out my best! Xx

To all my voters but a bit shy with the comments. I see you! Each time you hit that star button, you've made my day a bit brighter. Made me giddy when I read the notification. Thank you!

To those who just read, I see you too! I've been that reader. The one who silently reads BUT know that nothing is ever silent. The read count still goes up and writers are always grateful for you as well. Thank you!

This story has meant so much to me for the past seven months and I'm a mixture of feelings about it being over. Somehow this book was the easiest thing I ever wrote. Almost every chapter just flowed out of me without too much trouble (I had thirty chapters  written before I had even started posting them). I'm struggling now with how I would write this couple, while still staying true to an accurate timeline of real Harry events. I find it easier to imagine what they could be doing when he is incognito in the real world.

I have written one chapter but I admit that I'm feeling a bit stalled. I don't want to force it as I don't think my writing is very good when I do. It may be a little while before I post anything new. I appreciate all your patience.

And just for fun, one email that Harry wrote Amy during their first three month separation. The emails she never responded to.

"Dear Amy,

I just saw your post on Berlin. How did you manage to get that shot? It perfectly embodies a Berliner. It's a great city, isn't it? I have family that live in Germany. I would have asked them to show you around if I'd known you'd be there.

Berlin was one of the few cities we actually went out and explored when I was with the band. I remember Niall and I snuck off to see the Berlin Wall. I rarely got to see the cities we went to. We were always in and out so quickly. When Derek said you would show me Vancouver, I was so excited to finally see a city I was in. And then you showed up. You could have led me to the worst parts of town and I would have gone with you. If you had been the worst driver in the world, I would have stayed in that car. If someone had told me that that night was going to change everything for me, I would never have believed them. And I would have been wrong. I could never have imagined how intertwined you could feel with someone after a single meeting. But it happened to me. It happened to us. Now we'll forever be linked because of one chance encounter.

I want to tell everyone to keep their hearts open to all the possibilities. That coincidences don't exist. Everything happens at the right time for reasons we might not see now but will make perfect sense later. It's not our time right now, Amy, but I know it will be soon. And when it finally happens, it will be at the exact moment when we're both ready for each other. Until then, I'll wait.

Love always,
Harry"
