          WHAT EVEN????? HOW??? TYSM THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! I HADN’T EVEN IMAGINED THIS

GUYS MY BIRTHDAY STARTS IN JALF AN HOURRRRR

HAPPY 2022!!!

READERS! EMERGENCY!
          
          I asked you guys almost a month ago if you would be willing to read an original story by me, and no one answered . So, if I could have a moment of your time, I think now would be a good time to state my goals.
          
          I don't mean to sound bratty or ungrateful—far from it, actually—but Shivika fanfics were never the plan. I want to write about my own characters and develop my writing in a more mature and exciting way. I want to have rights on the people whose stories I tell. 
          
          Shivika is a huge part of me, and I love them so so so much! But I really want to start focusing on where I want to take my writing. Some stories, like BHSG, weren't meant to be revolving around Shivika at all! You'd be surprised to learn that DTBM wasn't meant for Shivika, either. I guess I didn't want stuff to blow up in my face by changing gears so suddenly so Shivika became the heart and soul of my stories. 
          
          I want to move away from fanfiction now. I think a big part of growing as a writer is taking your books and work seriously. I don't want you guys to be surprised one day by the fact that I've published a book that isn't around the same two characters we've grown to love. 
          
          I have personalities that don't fit Shivaay and Anika. It doesn't align with my goal to keep writing about Shivika, and I'm scared of losing my passion. Lengthy announcements are scary,  I get it. 
          
          But I want this. And I want you guys to feel included and heard. 
          
          Thanks for sticking around.
          
          Signing off,
          Kismat

Okay, time to get serious. 
          
          Can y'all believe that we made it to 20 chapters of BHSG?!? Like, I don't know about you, but I am so proud of the fact that I haven't given up yet! But, as much as I'd love to, I can't whisk away all the credit. A huge majority of it is literally because of the people who clicked in on Day One and stuck around. 
          
          I was just looking through all my books the other day, checking Wattpad stats, and OMG — collectively, we have almost 12.5K reads. The fact that this is real is just so unbelievable to me because I feel like I wrote the blurb for Dearest Shivaay in my basement like a week ago. We've come so far, and I just want to take the time to thank everyone who just gave me a chance. I always wanted to tell stories, but it always seemed like such a steep career choice. With your help and support, I'm able to do what I love—write about love. 
          
          You guys gave Kismat and Shivika so much love that it's just overwhelming. I hate the fact that this sounds so sappy and unoriginal, but THANK YOU SO MUCH! In a world where I've refrained from sharing my love of writing to people (because it's considered weird to write on Wattpad at my school lol), I was given a platform to do what I love and get constructive feedback. 
          
          I hope that I can continue to give you guys the joy of reading, as you have given me the joy of being able to write. And for your sakes, I hope I get better at it with time XD
          
          Signing off with (much love and gratitude), 
          Kismat
