Hello aina. Love your tragic romance stories. I just noticed we have the same genre but mine differs in that it’s African. African culture.
          I would like to get advice and feedback rom u, a watty winner. Well that’s if ur ok with it!
          And I also want to ask permission for self promotion on ur page.

Hii when will you be posting the last book in the confessions trilogy?

Hi, I'm Farah although i might change that to a pen name later, when I've caught up with my ONC list, I'm a little free to read, If there was a favourite book you'd like me to read from your collection, what one would it be?

follow for follow?

Hi! Um, I'd hate to come across as pushy, but I was wondering if you'd like to check out my new story.  It's called Decelis Academy. I'm not sure if it's up your alley, but I'd really like to hear some honest feedback on it.
          
          If you decide to get me it a shot, let me know what you think! 
          
          Luv, 
          
          -- Ari.

Hi! Thank you so much for the follow! I hope you enjoy my story!
          
          Luv,

@StardustHex You're welcome, and thank you. I really recommend finding a writer's group.
          was in one group about 20 years ago. It was wonderful,  more a social group of people who liked to write. The leader would set us homework tasks, for example, a sentence that we would have to create a story from. We'd then read out our 300 - to 500-word story the next week. We'd discuss story ideas that we were each working on or talk about technical things about writing that we didn't understand.  I learned so much because at that time, I hadn't ever written much. Then the leader moved towns, and the group went their separate ways.
          I tried another group after that, but they were run by a committee and had no fun at all, so you have to find a group that suits you. I've finally found another group similar to the first group, and they've really inspired me. And it's great to be around like-minded people. ❤️❤️❤️

@donnaf1828  I’m rooting for you so hard and I admire your resilience!! ♥️ And the spreadsheet?? I’m obsessed! ✨
          
          Thank you for sharing all of that with me ♥️ it actually means a lot that you’d open up about your journey like this. It makes the whole trying thing feel a little less scary. I think I’m still building up the courage, not gonna lie hahaha but hearing your experience, it pushes me a little closer to that edge.
          
          And omg that writing group sounds amazing?? I’ve never joined one before, but now I’m actually considering it  ☺️ I feel like I’ve been living in my own little writing bubble for so long. Like everyone else who wanted to write but doesn't have half the mind and half the courage to find agents, Wattpad has been my author sanctuary ♥️✨
          
          Thank you for believing in me like this. Really. It stays with me more than you know  ♥️ And please—when you self-publish?? I’m gonna be first in line to read it ✨☺️

@StardustHex You're so welcome.  Honestly, you need to throw your hat in the ring and go for it. I've been doing it for years and have averaged 20 rejections/non replies/no comp wins per year for the past 10 years. I've even created a spreadsheet. Hahaha. On the up, I have had 3 callbacks for full reads, many shortlists, and one offer of publication, but my luck as it is, the company went bust before they published my book. At first, I'd feel defeated, then I discovered Wattpad and made some great supportive friends, so that gave me a boost. I've recently joined a new writers group and am seriously thinking of self-publishing a book, not on Wattpad. I was in America in 2024 for 2 months and joined a group called Shut Up and Write. These groups are all over America.  It was wonderful, and I net some awesome writers. Are you in a writing group? If not, you should Google that and see if there's one in your area. Anyway, I think you should try to find an agent. ❤️❤️❤️

✨I was NOT supposed to finish this book today ✨
          
          Like... I’m literally out of town, at the beach, trying to be a calm, healed, mentally stable person for once, getting a tan, touching sand, pretending I don’t have 47 tabs open in my brain...
          
          AND THEN THE PERFECT ENDING HIT ME.
          
          Out of nowhere. Violent. Personal. Unavoidable.
          
          So yeah... I finished The Sweetest Lie ☺️
          
          And I’m sitting here like—holy shit. I’m actually so proud of this story.
          
          This book started as a challenge. No explicit smut. No shortcuts. Just feelings. Just tension. Just the kind of love that sits in your chest and messes with your head. And I committed to that all the way through.
          
          I didn’t expect to fall this hard for it, but I did. I really did.
          
          Dee and Kai’s are not your typical Wattpad couple. Their story isn’t just another teen romance.  It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s about growth, about facing yourself, about the consequences of the choices you want to make versus the ones you should make. ♥️
          
          And somewhere along the way... I grew too.
          
          This book has layers. It’s not just tropes or vibes. it’s life, it’s mistakes, it’s learning how to love without losing yourself. And I gave it everything I had.
          
          To everyone who’s been here, my readers, my author friends, you have no idea how much you mean to me. Every comment, every bit of support... I felt all of it. I carried it with me while writing this. I love you guys. I appreciate you more than I can put into words.
          
          And if you haven’t read The Sweetest Lie yet, maybe give it a chance.
          
          I promise you—this is NOT one of those cheap, tropey endings.
          
          It’s something you’ll feel. This one stays with you. ♥️
