After years and years of reading and writing and loving on this site, I started to write outside of this site. Not to get published, not for a specific person, just for myself, as an outlet. Granted, what I wrote for myself is easily much better writing than what I published here, but that doesn't mean my stories here don't mean anything. They mean the world. This is where I got a head start. I learned how to write from the millions of stories and poems and books that I read, both on and off Wattpad. There will always be that adolescent part of me that was so immensely excited about this site, but she's older now. More mature (hopefully better looking) and more experienced. I want to thank anyone who's ever read any of my stories, even if you didn't like it. Thank you. Seeing people read something I wrote gives me an indescribable joy greater than all others. I don't think publishing will ever be in my future, but I know that writing will always, always be in my past, present, and future. Books are my passion, reading them, writing them, and falling in love with them.
