@Raf780 Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. And I'm glad you liked my website! I included the links for all the Amazon countries that carry my merch, there's about 8 or 9 countries. Funny enough, Canada's Amazon isn't one of them, even though I live there. I wanted to open an Etsy store instead, which would ship worldwide, but I was told Amazon is easier. Maybe I'll open an Etsy one some day, when I have time. And you have no idea how nice it is to hear that someone remembers an old story you've written, thank you :) I hope my new one would elicit the same response. Wishing you the best!

Hey, Raf. It's been a while since I've been on Wattpad. It changed a lot, where did the DMs go? And books disappearing? Anyway, I hope you're doing well!

Raf780

@SkittishReflections I'm looking forward to that!
            
            Well, what can I say. It was such a memorable read!
            
            Always appreciate your kind words :) Best of luck with everything!

@SkittishReflections I am so sorry to hear about your father. I can only imagine how tough it must've been for you. Losing a parent can be devastating. My prayers are with you and your family. May all the bright lights in the world find their way to you. 
            
            I checked out your website and it's so well put together! I've always been a fan of your artwork and the merch on there is so cool. It's a shame we don't have Amazon here coz I really had my sights on a couple of shirts haha. Hopefully, someday I get to travel. I'll be ordering a bunch of those :D
            
            You know, as a writer it's natural to want your work to be absolutely perfect in every which way. But readers probably don't even notice the tiny little minutiae that we as writers are fussing over. Unless there's a glaring hole in the plot or something (which, being familiar with your work, I highly doubt there is). That said, I really admire your dedication to your craft. It shines through in your work. 
            
            Thank you so much for all your kind words :) wishing you all the best for your novel. I know it's gonna be a masterpiece just like your last book (still can't get over The Hand in Mine!).

@Raf780 I saved them as drafts a few years ago, and all the comments vanished. Maybe I'll check again, hope they're back! My website is lmshayle.com. it isn't really getting much traffic due to me not posting it daily and engaging. I don't have the push right now.
            
            This year has been draining. I lost my father three months ago, it was so sudden and unexpected. A lot has changed since then, emotionally, mentally, physically. I'm navigating new territory while trying to maintain aspects of the old. Alongside my wonderful family, writing has been a constant haven.
            
            I'm trying to find time to finish my novel. I sent it to betas a few months ago and their feedback made me feel ready to query. But since then I've been finding issue after issue and now I'm wondering how did the betas miss all these? So, I'm re-editing it for the millionth time. Wish me luck! And I wish you all the best on your exams and endeavors : )

Hey Raf, I just checked out your interview on the Wattpad poetry interviews and absolutely loved your answers. I'm looking forward to when you'll publish your works here again!
          I'm an amateur poet myself and it would be amazing if u could consider checking out my anthology. I'm absolutely open to constructive criticism.

@RavenAshcroft Hi there! Thank you so much for your comment. I'd love to check out your work. I have added it to my library. Been slammed with work lately but I'll be returning to Wattpad soon to republish my books and catch up on my reading here. Hope you have a great day!
            Oh, and thank you for the follow!
