G.M.

I hope I'm not bothering you by writing this here. (I really miss having the messaging feature...) But first and foremost, thank you so much. Seriously, thank you. I just woke up from my tired nap and saw a notification about my book "COTERIE", I have to confess, I was kind of shocked. This is a book I had practically given up on, and I’ve often wondered why it still attracts readers.... But I'm so grateful it caught your attention and led to your incredibly insightful reviews.
          
          Honestly, when I first read your comments, I was lying in bed and almost burst into tears. My initial thought was, "Someone is actually correcting me..." My heart started racing, my sleepy brain began to clear, and each of your comments made me tear up out of sheer gratitude. It felt like you were pointing out the flaws I’ve been struggling so hard to fix.
          
          Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a bit, but I’ve been really stuck. Sometimes, I’ll just stare at the screen for a good ten minutes, my fingers hovering above the keyboard. Even though a million scenarios run through my mind, I’m terrified they won’t be satisfying or even good to begin with.... Eh, your comments? I screenshot them, by the way. I treasure feedback, and yours is undoubtedly the most memorable and impactful.
          
          Now, about Beta Readers... I'm super embarrassed. I feel like digging a hole and crawling into it. Or maybe just vanishing into thin air would be less mortifying. But here goes nothing. *deep breaths*
          
          Uhh.... Would you consider being my Beta Reader?
          
          AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Don't worry if you need to decline!!! The mere fact that I got the courage to type this out is a weight off my shoulders. Please don’t feel pressured by the Beta Reader suggestion. I’m just seeking someone’s help and figured I’d give it a shot. I’m a lonely loner and asking for help doesn’t come naturally to me.... Um, I apologize for rambling and being so awkward.
          
          Thank you once again for everything. Your insights have truly meant the world to me... 

One of the thing I appreciate the most as a writer was to be surprised when I was just staring into space without a single thought, wondering what I should do in my life, was when a notification suddenly pinged and a barrage of your profile user voted for every chapter of my work. I was surprised again when an email soon reached me notifying me of your long essay of a comment. Reading that one comment you made that the maximum votes has been reached made me laugh undeniably. Gosh, you don't know how much I appreciate those words you typed. It sparked a dying flame inside me, that dying flame being the embers of my inspiration when I first started writing Dépaysement. It made me cry to be honest, and it made me wonder what I have been doing for the past months. Honestly, 2024 was a shitty year to me, making me forget the things that made me thrive in the past. Just then, I remembered all the plans I had written in my notebook and it overwhelmed me. I remembered all of those who witnessed Cale's story in the MDZS world and those who continued to wait for me to update.
          
          So thanks to you, I'm slowly starting to gather myself and get a grip. Thank you for the wake up call ^^
          
          May you continue the journey with me, dear reader...and maybe I'll be back to continue it in July or even earlier.
          
          You have my gratitude, really.
