@anneperaltanovels Hiiii Anne. Well. About publishing, one of my books will be published around late 2027 because after I took them down from Wattpad to edit them, I cringed so badly I had to rewrite them. The books went through different drafts, and then I got a team for inline editing, grammar editing, illustration artists, manuscript editing, and proofreading. I even had to take some literature classes to improve my writing, and fix the mistakes, it's been hectic and will be even worse. And I think we both are 21 right? Well officially started working last year and it's been hectic there too. So book publishing isn't as beautiful as it seems, and editors are scary. Pray for me (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩)

Hi, Anne,
I need help, I didn't edit shit but I can't find the Wattys banner in MBCIBH.
Is this normal? ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

@anneperaltanovels Thanks, I asked Google, banner disappears after the submission window closes. We're safe :)

I think so it’s fine… since I can’t see the banner for forbidden kiss as well but if you’re still worried maybe text the The Wattys profile abt this once.

Hi there, thank you so much for adding my book to your list, you’ve honestly made my day! I really hope the story pulls you in and gives you something to hold onto, even if it’s just a moment you liked. If you enjoy it, I’d love it if you voted, commented, or shared; it truly makes a difference. So glad you’re giving it a chance. Happy reading!

Random life updates:
How are y’all?
How’s life going?
Lately I feel Wattpad has been dead and it’s been long since I’ve had a convo with anyone here
My random updates are I just got offered to convert my internship into full time. So that’s a biggie.
And I’m graduating in September ahhh!!! But idk I still see myself as a kid lol even tho i really can’t anymore…

@anneperaltanovels Congratulation to you. Just remember to keep the passion burning for writing. And it's good for the soul to feel like a kid once a while.

PS. I just hit the submit button!
Forbidden Kiss has been submitted for Wattys 2026.
Ever since June 16, I've spent around 1–2 hours every day trying to improve this story. I'm sure there are still places where I've missed a grammatical mistake, and NOT every dialogue is perfect.
Some scenes are probably still a little dramatic (okay... maybe very dramatic), but I genuinely tried to polish as much as I possibly could.
I won't bore you with all the editing details, haha, but this editing pass was something the book really needed.
More importantly, I feel like I learned so much about writing as a craft.
Honestly, after adding another four chapters and changing the ending quite a lot, too. I feel like I have not only improved the plot technically through editing, but there have also been a lot of creative improvements, especially in the journeys of all the characters.
Now all that's left is to wait.
I've been consistent, I've worked hard, and I'll be hoping for the best on this Wattys journey. Really hoping the second time's the charm for Forbidden Kiss.
And finally, thank you.
Thank you to every single one of you who chose to give me a chance.
The book has officially finished its editing journey and is ready to be binge-read from start to finish!
