Decided to repost my teacher/student romance. Making changes so it fits the Wattpad guidelines. There are two chapters I'm going to have to leave out but the original version will be on Inkitt.

I'm trying to decide if I want to start a rewrite for the LYLID series and start posting it here or if I want to give it a little more time and continue posting the current version... I've completed my other stories on Inkitt so I have time on my hands... I told myself to take a break until the new year, but I find myself sitting at my desk with my laptop open scrolling through my WIPs.... 
          
          On another note, I finally started posting on IG again. Took a while to find the motivation, but I want to get serious about growing my audience. So if you haven't already, give me a follow over there. I'm also on Discord and would love to connect with other writers...or readers. And apparently Tiktok is being banned for US users sooooo maybe checkout my videos over there before they're gone.....

So I guess I'm...back...maybe? ‍ I've decided to start posting the Love You Like I Do series, again (in my Forrest Gump voice)..... There's a new cover (yay) and there will be major changes to the ending, including a new chapter plus an epilogue. The first 3 chapters have been posted.
          
          My social media info has changed. I'm starting fresh, so check that out (info on profile page). It's slow going but I'm working to get some content on IG and new videos on my Tiktok account, though I've heard Tiktok is going to be banned is the US come January so is it even worth making new videos??
          
          Well, I guess that's it for now. Time to hand it over to the Wattpad gods and let them decide if things will be better the second time around.

I will no longer be here on Wattpad. I've been super frustrated with this site over the last few months. I've had a story reported and removed for no reason and my appeal has yet to be answered. It's been well over a year since I started writing on here and have little to no engagement and very few reads. I don't know if it's because my writing sucks, or if the site is too saturated with stories so no one has discovered mine. Either way, doesn't seem like I will be able to grow here so I've removed my work. Thank you to the few people who did engage with my account. I appreciate it. Follow me on Instagram if you are interested.

@ty-the-writer Yay! When I'm reading books I like to imagine the songs playing in my head. If it's not one I'm familiar with, most times I'll go look it up. I feel that if an author takes time to mention a song it's because they (we) are trying to set a tone/mood for the reader, so I like to immerse myself as much as possible.

ARGH!! Shattered Rules has been removed for a guideline violation (which there wasn't any). I've appealed, just waiting to see what happens. It is up on another platform along with my other stories if you're interested, check out my IG for that info.

@Lacey0898 It's been a few days and I still haven't heard anything about my appeal. Hopefully, it will be approved and I can post it again. In the meantime, you can find Shattered Rules: Lessons In Love over on Inkitt. My username is NKwest72.  Thank you so much for your support! It can be hard to find the motivation to keep writing when you aren't sure anyone is interested in your work. Readers like you keep me going, so much love to you! I appreciate you so much!

@NKWest Definitely interested. Keep me updated though I'll still come back to Wattpad to read it a second time.

I'm not sure I'm going to post on Wattpad anymore once  I'm finished updating Young Hearts and The Fallout. I don't get much engagement on this platform so I think I might focus on growing my following on another site. I may also remove Shattered Rules and leave up my other three books. Still trying to figure out what going to be the best move.

All chapters of Love You Like I Do have been edited and reposted! I try my best to limit mistakes but because I know what the story is supposed to say my brain can easily overlook things, so if you see a mistake, don't hesitate to reach out.  Please don't forget to comment and/or vote. I love hearing what you have to say, it really makes my day to know other people are enjoying the universe I created.
