To My Amazing Readers Who Actually Get It:
Hey, you wonderful, talented, obviously superior humans! First off, thank you for reading my stories and being here. Seriously, you’re the reason my chaotic ideas make it out of my brain and onto the page. I see you, I appreciate you, and I adore you.
Now, let’s talk about comments and votes. You love the story, right? (At least I hope so, or else this is awkward.) So don’t be shy—drop a comment, hit that little vote button, or scream into the void about how much you’re enjoying it. Your reactions keep me motivated, fueled, and slightly less caffeinated (or maybe more, depending on the day).
It’s like this: Imagine me as a plant (a fabulous one, of course). Comments and votes are the water and sunlight I need to thrive. Without them, I shrivel up into a sad little writer potato. And nobody wants a sad writer potato.
So, if you laughed, cried, or just shook your head at my questionable life choices for the characters, let me know! It takes like two seconds, and trust me, it makes a world of difference. You have no idea how much your words mean to me—and I promise I read every single one.
Stay awesome, stay kind, and keep being the reason I keep writing. Love you all!
