Heyyyyy. The retirement plan, I am loving it so far. And I can't wait to own a copy of TAOBU. I keep on reading and rereading it but cannot get enough of it. TYSM.

After some time away from Wattpad, I recently had the privilege of being interviewed by the Beauty profile. Thanks to some hard-hitting questions from the amazing @kristianabooks what I expected would be an exercise in self-promotion turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences I've had on the site. So, if 10mins of me venting about social issues that are close to my heart doesn't put you off, you are welcome to check it out here: https://www.wattpad.com/1349794899-beauty-interviews-davideanderson-pride-23%27-the-art/page/4
@DavidEAnderson100 Big plans!! Sounds good, though, glad to hear you're keeping busy :) Best of luck ❤️
@alcoholandcaffeine Thanks!! Though, for how long I don't know. I'm still buried in the Taxi Driver x Gerald's Game psychological thriller that I started 13 months ago. Still about a month of editing left to do! After that, I think I'll return to Reggie/Ricky/DeShawn& Miley for one more bash before the Wattys.

Thanks for the follow!! And I love the art of breathing underwater so muchh. I usually come back to it every few months. Would definitely read the published version too <3
Hey David, I was wondering if the cover art for your book was AI generated? Like, I understand since you're a writer, not a photographer or artist, and it takes a lot of time, money, and energy to do this, but there must be a better way to get cover art than by using AI. It's like if instead of writing and rewriting a book, like what you're doing, someone just typed a prompt on chatgpt and called it their own work. If you want to keep the cover, then you sure can, but I wouldn't be very sure about supporting something like that. Your work is still amazing btw -Kelpie
@Kelpie787 Hi Kelpie, While I would love to lie and tell you different, I won't. Yes, I had you use an AI generator. because at the minute I am down to four students, which means my income literally covers food, brooadband and rent. Ten years ago,it cost me €200 to get a professional cover made(It's on my story The Retirement Plan on my profile and it looks amazing!) This time, unfortunately, that was not an option. Canva was not an option either, as the limited free templates are commonly used and originality is a must in an over-saturated marketplace. All that being said, I fully understand, and respect, your stance. And, I thank you for taking the time to respond and let me know. If-and lets be honest, it's a long-shot-- my book starts selling semi-decent numbers I will be able to afford to pay for a proper, eye-catching, human-designed cover. Thank you for your kind words, David.
Hey David! Long time no see, how have you been? ☺️✨
@Gauravaaditya Good, thanks. Endlessly rewriting TAOBU until I finally molded it into a novel I am 100% proud to call my own I published it, with a new cover and title: The Drowners. How have you been, my friend. Congratulations on becoming an ambassador btw! How is the writing going?
How are the rewrites for TAOBU going?
@kristianabooks I'm on Twitter, barely(I haven't posted since they rebranded as X ) But, I'll probably need to start thinking about getting a social media presence when it comes around to launching my book--if I ever get it finished hahaha) Great to hear, Kristiana. That's all we can do as writers, try to keep learning and improving. It's a never-ending process.
@kristianabooks Davidddd, we need to get you on atleast one social media platform, now that DMs are gone. All good. Playing off WP and learning loads.
@kristianabooks Not too bad, thanks. I've added more chapters, and rewritten about 20% of the existing text to(hopefully) make the narrator more accessible to the reader. I'm still not quite there, yet, but I'm hoping to be able to release it as an e-book in a few months. Thanks so much for getting in touch. How is everything with you?
Usually I’m not one to get massively stuck into books, Ive been an avid reader since I was younger so I can pick them up whenever and stay in the same moment. It’s currently 4 in the morning and I haven’t even gotten up to piss while reading The Art of Breathing Underwater, and as someone who doesn’t comment or really do much apart from add books to my reading lists, I just wanted to say how heartbreakingly talented you are. ❤️
@smhsmdlol123 Thanks so much for this message. I've literally been working on TAOBU for the past month doing rewrites and wondering if I`m wasting my time, so this message has been a real boost!! I`m so glad you enjoyed it, and even more glad that you took the time to let me know. Much appreciated ❤️

Thank you so much for the follow and the art of breathing under water was a masterpiece it had a lot of lessons and everything in there is topyou are a star. would like to learn from you as an aspiring writer
@NyalalaniChinga Thank you so much for this message!! Sorry, it has taken so long to reply, but I haven't been on here in a while.
Not Aaron’s character development making me cry omg!!! The Art of Bresthing Underwater is an absolute gem. I really hope it gets published. I think it would be an inspiration to those struggling with coming out but that’s just me. But really it was a great story and I learnt a shit ton of things no joke ;). Thank you for this masterpiece ❤️.
You’re totally welcome xx! You need to know that you’re great at what you do. Not me never hearing about The Wire omg :( I’ll watch it then get back to you about that :D
@notyawhore Thanks so much for this message: Its really made my day. I'm so glad you liked the book, and am even more grateful that you took the time to tell me. Thanks for all the support!! I absolute love your profile banner btw And your bio, too. Though, I´ll have to argue with you about The Office being the best show of all-time. Gotta be The Wire (Sorry, but the whole cast of The Wire just feel like family)
