Sometimes people that you thought you’ve been friends with for 3 years turn out to be not who you thought they were. Sometimes your friends are not actually your friends. But it’s okay. Life goes on. Don’t weigh yourself down with regrets. Real friends will come eventually. <3

@ASWATI2000 Oof. We all know the feeling. One of my fake friends (who I thought was a real friend) threw a graduation party and invited all of our friends except me lmao. But you're right, dude. Real friends come. Sometimes it's just the environment that needs to change. High school sucked for me, but college feels like a dream, and I've met so many down-to-earth people. Hope you find some awesome, true friends! :)

@notasmartperson You r correct. I have been ditched by so called friends. But eventually true friends will come......

Just a reminder to thank Germany for introducing the Easter tradition of displaying hares and colorful eggs to the U.S. (the hares became bunnies, and we chocolate-ified the eggs). Hope you’re having a good Easter, Resurrection Sunday, or Passover! Will be back writing this summer!

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Hi friends! I will try to be active on Wattpad over spring break (which starts today for my high school)! By ‘active,’ I just mean reading and catching up on some works of my favorite accounts. I will, however, start writing again this summer! Happy wattpadding~ (;

Umbrella City is finally published! You can preview and buy it on Amazon (you just have to search Umbrella City Madison Moure and scroll down until you see a purple cover with white umbrellas)!
& Happy New Year! I’ll be taking a hiatus from writing until June 2019, but I’ll be regularly popping in to check my notifications and read other works! In the meantime, I have some interesting writing ideas up my sleeve...

@Michael_Houston Thank you! And yes, I can’t wait!! That’s going to be the best part of all of this!!!

@notasmartperson Hey, congrats on getting it on Amazon! I bet you can't wait to hold the paperback in your hand. :)

Hey guys! Umbrella City will have to say goodbye soon, but until then, I’ll be posting some poems I’ve typed last minute. It’s been quite the journey with you all, but hey — I’ll still be here! After I take it down and get published for real, I’m starting a new book of fiction on Wattpad. It will be gang-themed, action-packed, and a bit of a mystery. However, I’ll probably make another book of poetry on here as well just to do more poetry for fun. So that’s the tea, my dudes.

Just hired someone on Fiverr to make me a cover for Umbrella City to upload to kindle direct publishing. It’s really happening guys. I’m so excited!!!

@notasmartperson Off the top of my head, the only major thing I can think about is the exclusivity issue. Oh, there's also a kindle preview program available somewhere in the KDP guides. Make sure to download it and check your formatted manuscript to see how it'll appear when people get it. It's useful for picking up any possible formatting quirks that will make you look unprofessional if they slip through. For the cover, since you're doing a paperback as well, did you remember to request a cover that wraps around the front, spine, and back of the book? It'll be different to the ebook cover. Also, remember that it needs to be in exceptionally high resolution - 300 dpi, and that's at (if I remember correctly) 8.5" by 11", so it's quite a lot of pixels. In theory, you can just scale up a lower-res image, but I don't know if Amazon will ding you for that if it looks to distorted. I'll let you know if I think of anything else that's crucial.

@Michael_Houston Oh! I didn’t know that. Thanks for telling me that. Yeah, then I’ll take Umbrella City down soon. Thanks for the heads-up. Is there anything else I should know about before I publish my book? I have the manuscript uploaded and all ready to go, just waiting on my cover to be made, so I have time to do any last-minute requirements.

Did anyone read the Artemis Foul series? Disney is making a new movie for the first book!
