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!
