HI!!!!
          
          What's that am I actually on wattpad? Haha... I jumped on to just see how things were going!
          
          My main comment revisiting this site: WHY ARE YOU GUYS STILL READING TTMLS?!? HOW ARE YOU EVEN FINDING IT?! IT HAD 10 READS YESTERDAY!!! FDLSKJF! Seriously this work is going to haunt me forever.. there's no escaping it...
          
          On a positive note some of what I'm writing now is apparently really good? I had my first ever class critique of my work and among a plethora of positivity I heard "masterful with dialogue" "insane opening lines" "when you publish this I want one of the first copies" and my favorite from my professor "It's not often I have a genre writer of such power, confidence, and narrative facility as you display in these pieces."
          
          Why am I sharing this? I'm not entirely sure... I guess I just felt really secure in my writing for the first time in a while? Likewise no matter where your writing starts, even if it's some crappy text message romance that no one understands is a satire (although TTMLS is by no means my first work-just my first shared one) that is still somehow getting views, you can reach a point where your work "echoes of a novel" and you're encouraged to transform your short story into a novel and publish it. 
          
          So I guess I came on here for nostalgia, to be shocked by the views on my old story, and to encourage you to never give up! I never "made it" as a wattpad author BUT the fact that I haven't been on this website advertising my book in about half a year and it's still daily averaging (according to the graph I saw today anyway) 10 reads a day isn't too shabby, nevertheless wattpad is a particular niche-even if you only have a grand total of one read on your story that doesn't mean there isn't an audience-wattpad just isn't the RIGHT one.
          
          Am I making any sense? Probably not... I'm desperately in need of a nap or coffee. But maybe you'll get something out of this.
          
          I'll be back! In like another half a year haha!
          
          Love

So it's up! All 11 chapters of How to Snag a Prom Date are available to you. I do want to remind you that I have no intention of ever adding chapters, nor editing the ones that are up currently (although while publishing them I noticed a lot of mistakes haha). So I hope for all of you who requested that you get the answers you desired about Rose and Luke's relationship. Enjoy!
          Love,

So due to the only positive remarks I've received on my uploading the partially completed (and notably never to be completed) How to Snag a Prom Date-I'll have it up for you guys in a couple hours (I'll send out another notif when I publish it). Thanks for responding to my question so eagerly and earnestly!

Important question: the incomplete sequel!
          
          Tldr: Do you want me to republish the incomplete story: How to Snag a Prom Date? (I won't be completing it but you would get some of the sequel) 
          
          Hi readers!
          
          So recently I've been getting a plethora of asks about what happened to How to Snag a Prom Date (the sequel to this story). 
          
          To answer bluntly: I was no longer motivated to write it. As I said in my previous update on here this story was a bit of an experiment with both a different style of writing (text messages-which ironically is now a huge thing with Wattpad's tap app)  and romantic tropes. In actuality I mostly write science fiction and sometimes fantasy, which often involve romance, but that isn't the main plot. 
          
          So although I had started writing How to Snag a Prom Date, I couldn't get captured by the story and lost the desire to write it.
          
          HOWEVER, I do have a few completed chapters from it that I did eventually unpublish. If enough people comment that they want me to re-publish what I wrote awhile ago I will do it. I should emphasize that this doesn't mean that I will ever add to the story, but at least you get some of it? It's up for you to decide. 
          
          For those of you who didn't see it when it was out: the story follows a girl named Ava through the beginning of her junior year. In the few chapters I wrote, Rose made two appearances and Luke one (I think), so you would get an update on their relationship.
          
          Please comment if you want me to publish the incomplete story and I'll consider it.
          
          Thanks for reading this!
