@donnaf1828 I'm so pleased, but I think I need to reread a few of the other chapters.

@frayrays I'm sorry it's taken so long. I entered a competition that took up my writing time.

@ShelliahtheShelly Sure, but for some reason, Wattpad wouldn't let me follow her, though I could follow you. It's so weird. I'll try to follow her later.

@frayrays I was the same, still am really as I have 16 books in my private library, but I found it so overwhelming that I had to change to reading one at a time. I start by reading the first chapter of a book. If the book doesn't grab me, but the writer is lovely and supportive, as in follows and returns the read or replies to my comments, I will continue to support their work. If they don't reply or connect with me in some way, then I set their book aside. If I read the first chapter and I'm hooked, then I'll continue to read no matter what, but my comments will be less, and I'll always vote.  I prioritise someone who is supporting me and my work over someone with a great story who isn't interactive with me. I found that I wasted a lot of time on books whose authors stayed quiet, so I decided to minimise reading works by writers like that, as I feel Wattpad is a good balance of reading and communicating with other writers, even if it's just returning a follow. I avoid people who have a high following but only follow a low amount in return.  This tells me they are only interested in themselves. A follow is the least a person can do to show gratitude. I read poetry books like yours in-between finishing a book and starting a new one. I find it refreshing, I guess, like Sorbet between courses, hahaha.  Your poetry is awesome.  ❤️❤️

@CFarley982 I wonder why that happened.  Yes, the songs are awesome. It's been a great challenge.  Especially to make each chapter follow the story but also fit it in with the songs so it makes sense. And because I write dark stuff, it's extra hard to fit an upbeat song with the story theme. I think the organisers run this comp each year, so keep your eye out for next time. She ran a blurb writing comp, too, which was fun.

Hi All, I've made is into round two of TEGSA 2026. Yay!! I've now posted the next 4 chapters using prompts based on the songs selected for the competition.  Warning, the story is dark, but I guess for those who have read my work before, you will have guessed that. ;) Thanks for the support so far. Very much appreciated. Good luck to all those writers who have entered.  Your first chapters are amazing.  For readers who are looking for something different, check out my TEGSA2026 reading list for all the entries.
