Ten-thousand reads. I'm actually speechless. But I am a writer in the end, so speechless is probably the wrong word for it.
I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing numbers like this next to something I have created. This story started out as a tiny experiment, something I wrote just for myself but has now grown into a whole little universe that thousands of you visit, love, escape into and carry with you. Thank you, for sharing this journey with me, for reading on your commute, in your bed at 2 a.m., between classes or lunch breaks. Thank you for the votes you left, the comments that made me smile, and the quiet reads from people who never say a word but always show up.
You've turned this journey into something bigger than I could ever imagine. You've given my characters a home, you've given me confidence. You've made this story feel alive.
10k feels like a milestone, but it's also feels like a promise. That there's more to come, more to write & share with you. And I'm so greatful that I keep to keep doing that in the future.
All my love,
Lily
