Dear Readers of Howl at Midnight,
I started this story when I was 14, a freshman in Highschool with absolutely little to no writing direction. Clary was just an inserted character into the teen wolf world. She had no real discernable personality of her own.
When I was 17 I edited some/most of the story. Clary began to form her own personality. She wasn't just the girl I wanted Stiles to fall in love with. She was Clarissa, Jackson's sister and Lydia's best friend. She became someone I cared about and was attached to. The story meant more to me than I ever intended.
Now I'm pushing 20. I haven't touched this story in years. I've written and worked on countless other fanfictions on different sites but I always find myself thinking about Clary. Where she could have gone. Who she would have been. I was in the process of writing my first novel when I decided I couldn't handle it anymore I needed to finish Howl At Midnight. The thing was a lot of the aspects of the story no longer resonated with me in adulthood. So I had completely decided to revamp the book.
So, on August 31st 2020 Howl at Midnight (Book 1 in the Sounds of Darkness series) will be completed! If you've already read it, you'll want to read it again when I repost it! A lot had changed. Clary has developed and so have her relationships, back story, and abilities. I'm excited for us all to take this journey together!
