@sclarke20 Hi! I’m very much on the fence about posting on Wattpad again. I’ve been on this platform for over 10 years and I’m genuinely upset about how they’ve gone about with ads and charging their readers. I understand they’re a business and need to support themselves however I placed my work online to be read for free. By making you- the reader- watch ads between chapters no longer makes it free in my mind. You’re paying with the time you’re forced to have that ad okay. Wattpad is generating an income from my post (half of which aren’t even mine to make a profit off of because they’re fanfics.) and do not give me the option to turn it off. That upsets me and is why I switched over to using Inkitt. They don’t do any ads and it’s a very easy app/website to navigate (something else Wattpad has declined in. Imo. I can guarantee that it the story will be free to read for everyone until other wise posted. Apologies for the long post. I’m passionate about it.  Thank you for reading! ❤️

Excited to announce that  TWO YEARS after the original announcement ‘Ardency’ the SEQUEL to ‘Speak’ is not only happening but I am actively writing it as I post this! I’m so excited to return to the coastal city of Whiteland in Suestad  where we’ll meet new wonderful Beings and have the return of a few beloved characters. For more updates, continue to follow me here and on Inkitt!
          Side note- I need help naming some countries since I can’t find my original map as I draw the new one. Drop some names to me and I’ll be sure to shout you out!

If anyone is wondering; Speak once had a hand drawn map that was displayed on Wattpad. However, due to time- the changing of technology and the natural movement of time itself- that map is lost. In good news- I’m working on a new digital map that I hope to share soon! (I’m drawing from memory and context clues from the story)

PM me if you would be willing to help me with character development issues/psychology. 
          
          I have a (too ambitious) book set planned. I know how one will end, and key elements of how it will unfold... 
          
          BUT there are problems. Two of the main characters are incomplete. Rough sketches... I need more depth to make them come to life and see how each would react to various situations. 
          
          The quiet girl needs to have things she is willing not just to suffer for - but to stand up. 
          
          The 'strong' woman will have to learn trust and how to be vulnerable. 
          
          Each has her own ways of dealing with the past. Both have been chained by their 'safe' ways of dealing with what happened.

Do you use Inkitt because “Speak” sounds like a book I tried to read on Inkitt

ATJudge

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner- I do use Inkitt! I have Speak up there as well so congrats on finding it!
