Hello dear readers,
It's been a good few weeks since I asked if anyone was in the middle of reading The Blazing Heiress. Some of you shared that you had started it, were still reading, or were even rereading it. Some of you asked if I were planning to post it elsewhere. No, there is no such plan in the pipeline at the moment.
As many of you know, this story began on a whim, and the early chapters reflect that. I've had some time this year to sit with my work, reread it and assess it thoroughly. And my own criticism made it clear how much editing it needs.
To illustrate a few, Viransh's character, in the beginning of the book, lacks a clear motivation. His actions and feelings toward Avni aren't sufficiently justified. Then there's inconsistency in the writing style, as you know, I was still learning the craft while drafting the story. And I feel I can deepen the slow burn between the leads, give proper space to sibling rivalry and strengthen the business-world setting.
I had hoped to work on this in the latter half of the year, but due to professional commitments and personal obligations, I've barely had the time to draft chapters of Book 2, let alone focus on outlining the rewritten version of Book 1. For now, I've decided to keep the current version of TBH on Wattpad as it is, at least for a few more months, while I get my life back on track.
That said, if you're planning to read it, I'd encourage you to do so soon, as I'll begin taking down the chapters for re-editing in the coming months.
Thank you. And if you've already read the story and feel that some scenes need work, feel free to drop your suggestions in my Instagram DM or here on my Wattpad wall. I would appreciate seeing things from different perspectives.
