Hola,
Second post in a day. I'm surprising myself.
My writing journey began in 2020 with a surprising twist. It all started with a random idea sparked by Justin's song 'Let Me Love You'. The thought of 'Let me hate you' struck me, and the same month, a friend who had become a stranger advised me to write.
It was a vague still, and I wrote it randomly. I thought no one would read it, but then it happened. One read, two reads, and the count continued. I was surprised that anyone would read some random thoughts with so many grammatical and punctuation errors. But what I wrote was directly from my heart.
And that is how Amaan and Asmaira's journey started in Let Me Hate You—the OGs.
With readers' support, that one scene became a 120-page story. As I grew and evolved as a writer, it was always at the back of my head: something is missing, something is not connecting, and I made a to-do list to edit LMHU.
As a first-time writer, I was determined to make 'Let Me Hate You' the best version it could be. It was a journey of learning and expressing my emotions through my writing.
So, here I'am. Almost 6 years later, ready with Let Me Hate You 2.0. Same couple.
Same story.
Same hatred
But with more clarity and the raw emotions of Amaan and Asmaira that I wasn't able to express due to my limited English.
Having said that, I would unpublish the current draft and publish the edited chapters daily. Please give it a read and share your votes and comments. Your feedback is invaluable and will help me improve. Comment your thoughts on the changes I had put in LMHU2.0.
Peace and Love,
Anjaani Sadek
