I've written two thirds of Dirty Little Secret, and the manuscript is already sitting at nearly 70k words. I'm aware YA novels are usually 60-80k. I'm also aware mine will be longer than that, because there's a lot to happen in part 3 yet.
          I know I should cut down on what I've written so far, and be more selective on what I write from here on. There are some arcs that might not be necessary, as much as I want to dwelve into them. 
          Then, I realised something: this is Wattpad, not a publishing house. I can write as much as I want, especially because I believe my readers will enjoy the "director's cut" version. If I ever decide to try and formally publish this (I highly doubt it, though), I will edit and cut it down, otherwise no editor would ever consider it. But for now, I'll just keep this book what it's been so far: the story that got me back to writing.

@ChromeDok Its fine,you would get a publisher to read your work one day(It would be a crime if they don't)
            Just do what you like and believe in yourself.
            
            Now back on my mission to catch up on your story.
            Justin I am coming back to you

@debbigal thank you so much! It really means a lot ^o^
            I'm portuguese. If I'd want to publish my book traditionally here, I'd have to transalate it because that's how publishers from here work. However, I don't know if the story would land as well in my native tongue due to the amount of geek culture references ahah Unless I sent it to international publishers, which would be even harder to get accepted than smaller, national ones

Hi Chrome,
          
          Thanks so much for following me. My book, Two Worlds Collide, is complete and ready for bingeing! It's a feel-good book with yearning and romance that makes you swoon and leaves your heart happy. Several readers say it’s as fun as a K drama. I hope you'll enjoy reading it, too! If you like it please leave feedback and share it with a friend. 
          
          I added Dirty Little Secret to my library. It sounds interesting and the book cover is gorgeous!
          
          Happy reading and have a great day!

It seems we both like The Frenemy. If you’re into forbidden romance, I invite you to view my story as well. The Lighthouse of Galveston.
