Hello :)
I'd like to post two announcements here, for anyone interested:
(1) My official website is now live, and I'll be posting the link shortly in my book as well as on this page. This website will be my primary page for any and all life, love, and lit updates, including a blog -
(2) I will keep my Wattpad page as a home for WIFV. It was originally my goal to do a deep edit and re-publish the story as a free e-book on multiple platforms, just to make it as accessible as possible and wrap it in ribbon.
However, after putting a lot of time and thought into reading it through, I realize that a deep edit for me would involve rewriting a lot of the story. I no longer have the angsty teenaged mindset that I (quite obviously) had back then, and I don't think it would ever be the same story if I tried to re-write it now. Although I would like to acknowledge that it has many elements in it that I would never advocate for as an adult writer (like a lot of anger, pettiness, bullying, and underaged drinking), I want to give my younger, inexperienced self a mental hug and let this story serve, as I've said many times before, as a "time capsule." It is young, and dramatic, and a little overdone. Cheesy, to be sure. But it is what it is for a reason. And so I hope it is alright if I can keep it here with all of you.
I am wishing you all lots of joy and good reads! And while I will be checking Wattpad intermittently, I highly recommend reaching out by email (available on my website) if you ever want to chat!
Love,
S
