100k...
I remember when I first started writing... I revered the HELL out of people who could achieve this kind of unfathomable number.
Thank you to everybody who has read ARAC, whether it was before I knew how to write a story, before I felt I had any kind of literary talent, or before I figured out how to harness it.
Yes, I am still tirelessly working on revamping ARAC into a standalone retelling in an attempt to kick off my career as an author (working on it as we speak, actually), and yes, I WILL be returning to updating book 2 as soon as I'm done.
But I've come to realize that I'm sure that in many ways, this is a story that I'm struggling to move on from (book #1, specifically). It's where I've found comfort, hope, success, but most importantly, it's where I've found myself.
It has pushed me through some of the darkest days of my life, and has commemorated some of the happiest, inadvertently lending itself as a lifeline that I never intended it to be, and am terrified to detach from.
But I guess that's the beautiful thing about books... They store the feelings that you wish to revisit, with a simple turn of the page.
Thank you all for being along with me on this journey as I learn that, and thank you even more for allowing me to teach it.
