Alright guys, I don’t know if anyone is still out there, but I have to make it official and get it off my chest. I am discontinuing Whirlwind. I have a few reasons for this:
1. I believe Lightning ended in a pretty good spot. I left it open for another sequel, but also wrote it with the possibility of it being the final installment as well, so it could go either way.
2. I’m in a different stage in life now than I was when I wrote Thunder and Lightning. I wrote Thunder when I was 16, in high school. And Lightning was written during my first year or so of college. I’m 25 now and as much as I love my series, my life has changed, my priorities have changed, and my free time has changed. I simply don’t have the time to write and I don’t have the ability to prioritize it or the motivation to return to that chapter of my life. I love my story with all my heart, but it just doesn’t fit into my life right now.
3. The pandemic played a huge part in this. It was the reason I ultimately stepped away from Wattpad and writing the series at first, and I just was never able to get back into it no matter what I tried, and maybe that is also partially due to the fact that I graduated college and stepped into the “real world” during that time as well.
Anyway, long story short, I am discontinuing Whirlwind. Lightning is a good conclusion to the story and while more can be added, it’s not needed. Kyleigh/Thunder’s future is whatever you decide it to be!
I do have several plot points and ideas that I was going to use for Whirlwind and if anyone out there would like to know what would have happened in the book, I am more than willing to share the details with you. Feel free to message me and we can talk :)
Have a nice day, and to anyone reading this, thank you for reading my stories. The Thunder series is a huge part of my life and defines a huge chapter of my life that I love and will always be thankful for.
