My people,
          	
          	I hope you’re all doing well.
          	
          	I’ve been toying with the idea of re-releasing Silent Strength or Holding On for a short while. A part of me feels like many of you never really got the chance to experience Silent Strength fully, while Holding On holds a special place as my very first published work and my introduction to the world as a writer.
          	
          	But then again, it only takes that “short while” for someone to steal the work, and that is making me hesitate. I’m caught in two minds. Anasazi...
          	
          	Lots of love,
          	Mrs Sir

Oh Nathi….! Bloody thieves make this life thing so hard, deprive us off the good things. All I know is when the holidays begin, it’s peak time for them. Wattpad crimes shoot! This is maddening…and if I am this mad thinking of the last time this happened, I can only imagine how you the creator feels. I can’t even advice

Guys, 
          
          I’d like to apologise… profusely. What I did to you all on Mrs Jaxa… I just finished a book where the author killed the main character. 
          
          I AM NOT OKAY! I need answers 
          
          Kanti, this is how it feels?!? No ways! NO F****** WAYS

My people,
          
          I've scheduled inserts for the next two weeks, dropping on Mondays and Thursdays at 20h00. As I'll be returning to school, this means we’re back to inconsistent publishing. So, starting 11 August, I'll post as many inserts as I can, when I can.  
          
          Once again, thank you all for your unwavering support.
          
          With love,
          Mrs_Sir ❤️

Hey mntase
          
          There’s a platform called Stardust literacy, where you earn money from just 150 views from readers. I don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but please check it out. ❤️

@o_dayimani uyabona ke?!? This is what gets to me. Why are we sharing work unauthorized? Just ask bra! FUCKING ASK!

@Mrs_Sir My goodness, no! We literally can’t have anything good.
            Oh bendinethemba :(
            This frustrates me because I was informed that someone shared my work on some pdf novel group. I’m so defeated mntase…

Mrs_Sir

@o_dayimani mntase I checked it out and my problem with the site is that one can highlight and copy your work into another document (at least if they are reading the book on their mobile). The interface doesn’t prohibit a reader from copying the work like Wattpad

I have been wondering why the books were taken down until I saw your text. I'm sorry that some people never appreciate and respect other people's work. Just so you know you are amazing and I love reading your books so much. Reading and writing became my escape from my battle with depression. You inspire me that maybe 1 day I'll get to publish my masterpieces that I've been writing. Continue to be who you are and never let this ungrateful people to change you. We lovers of your work love and appreciate what you do for us❤

Mrs_Sir

@Relay13 hi there
            Thank you so much for your message and words of encouragement. It’s truly devastating to my work stolen but I try (… ready that as fight) to overcome the sadness and disappointment that comes with that reality because I know that I have readers like you out there who not only enjoy my work but are also motivated by it. I hope your journey leads you to publishing your masterpieces because I know we would love to read them.
            
            Thank you for reaching out. 
            
            Lots of love 
            Mrs Sir ❤️

Man people are so heartless, do they not realise that you put your heart and soul into this. I'm actually so annoyed on your behalf. Ncese sisi❤️Ube right. Just know that we will always support you.

Mrs_Sir

@VuyisileNdlovu I’m hurt shame; I’m not even going to lie. They may say that they are not publishing our work (unauthorised) for financial gain but the matter of the fact is that you’ve stolen my work and published it WITHOUT my consent or approval. At this point I think I’m done with publishing. I can’t live like this. It’s too much

Hey love. I follow an author and she sends her pdf work to us with a unique password for each copy. Maybe that can help

Reach out to Tina king she will know more.

@miss2baker I’ll consider it though my fear is still that even with the encryption people I’ve sold the story too can still upload the documents online

Mrs_Sir

So, someone published uThando on another platform AGAIN without my consent. Kanti, what must happen before people realise that stealing our work is not right?!?
          
          Why publish work, for your benefit (financial or not) without permission from the author? 
          
          I’m back to square one now with anxiety on sharing my work on these platforms.

@Naledipetja kuyafana babes the person who’s bought the PDF can also resell it and I’d have no control over that. 
            
            I’m just at a cross roads.

@Mrs_Sir Is they no way we can get the books? Like pay for them and receive them as PDFs cause I doubt someone would want to share what they bought for free

I'm always in awe of your work. The way you use diction to form imagery? Immaculate. The last update of Silent Strength moved me. You're such a true inspiration❤️

Mrs_Sir

@nqoloves2write thank you so much for these kind and motivating words. I always put my heart and soul into every chapter I write and release and when I receive such feedback, it truly makes all the effort and hard work so worth it. Thank you for engaging and for supporting my work ❤️

Hey, hope you are well. Where the chapters taken down or?? Man I loved your work I don't know how many times I keep coming back.

Mrs_Sir

@Naledipetja hi love 
            
            For which book, Silent Strength? I had to take down most chapters because some of my work got stolen so I removed all of my work but I’m trying to will myself into publishing all my books again but the anxiety 
            
            Thank you for the continued support even though I’m robbing/frustrating you guys. I truly appreciate it
