About spin the bottle.
TLDR: I can’t stand Hayden and needed to step away from the story to keep from hating it completely.
I started writing STB when I was 12/13 (nearly a decade ago) and this is very obvious when you read it. I didn’t do much editing when I posted it here and because of that Hayden is, above all else, insufferable. I need an indefinite hiatus to keep from killing this entire trilogy.
STB has been on several sites (Quotev, Wattpad, etc) and it’s always done fairly well. I’m so so grateful to those of you who were critiquing and telling me where I could do better and what needed to be toned down. That is why I started publishing on Wattpad, for essentially beta readers if I ever decide to publish.
If we’re being honest nobody cares about the books I’ve written (STB, a spicy mafia romance, magic) and that’s okay, the world keeps moving and stepping away from this has been good for me. It’s given me time to work on other projects and take care of my declining health.
I’m still writing stories, I’m still willing to co-write like I used to. For those of you who have been asking since March, yes I will be making STB public again. Once I feel like I can exit my hiatus without wanting to kill the story, spin the bottle will be gutted and changed almost completely.
Thank you so much for the support I still get. I’ve written this out twice now, it’s very late and I’m exhausted and writing this on my phone so I apologize for the infinite number of grammatical mistakes.
Thank you so much,
