update!
          
          i've been offline for a year or more now, self-publishing my wattpad backlog. i now have six YA novels available for purchase, two YA novellas, and a children's book! my linktree is linked in my bio here.
          
          i'm more active on instagram (@themmasmith) if you're interested in keeping up with me or finding out more about me and my work.
          
          but - excitingly - i'm posting on here for the first time in years tomorrow!
          
          because i can't decide which of my drafts i want to self-publish next... i'm going to publish the first chapters of three separate stories here, so you can help me to choose! if you want to be a part of the decision, you can read all three from midnight (british time) and DM me your fav on instagram.
          
          the one with the most votes will more than likely be the one i decide to release next!
          
          until then...

i don't know if anyone is still active on my acc, but hi!!
          
          if you want to check out my work, i now have SIX books published through amazon which you can read as paperbacks or ebooks <3
          
          if nottt, you can still keep up with me on instagram and tiktok at @emmasmithbooks!

HEY

You might have guessed, but this is the first year in four or five that I haven't entered my books into the Wattys.
          
          Maybe I could've entered Martha again, or Lukewarm, I don't know. But now that my self-publishing is picking up and I'm looking at my backlog again to see what I want to share next, it just didn't seem like a smart option. Over the next year, I'm not sure if I'll want ANY of my books online for free, especially given Wasted's release this November and some of my short stories mayyybe coming out too. 
          
          Good luck to everyone who has entered, because I'm so sure you'll smash it. I still adore the community of writers on Wattpad and get so mad when people dis the site, because there's so much talent and creativity on here waiting to be discovered.

What days would you guys prefer me to upload on?
          
          Going forward, I want to update Eden and Water Baby twice a week... and I think I'll remember better if I have a schedule to stick to!

We're only 200 reads away from 40k !! if you're currently reading 'Martha' or haven't yet tried it, every single read is so appreciated <3

You can now find the introductions to my two summer projects published here on Wattpad... do go and leave a comment or two, and add to your library so you don't miss any updates! I'm very excited <3
          
          Water Baby, a story of teen pregnancy, set at the beach...
          
          and Eden, a story of a boarding school filled with lies...

Who wants me to start uploading chapters of a new book...?
          
          It's up to your guys, so what would you rather see:
          
          Eden, my mystery set in a boarding house for teens from the foster system.
          
          or Water Baby, a story of teen pregnancy, set by the sea.

Finally, the epilogue to 'Lukewarm' is out. If you want to check out a teen "romance" which highlights the reality of a teacher/student relationship in gritty detail, go check it out now, because it's officially complete!
          
          Knowing Poppy's ending is kind of bittersweet, because I grew so attached to that group of girls. Maybe you'll be seeing more of Mira, Holly, Logan, Margot and the others soon... who knows.
          
          Thank you to everyone who stuck by this book, and loved it till the very end. I'm so grateful.

@SryDdMi when i first started out, i'd give myself weekly goals and stay up all night trying to hit each target. treat it like you have to write, and hold yourself accountable of you don't!
