And with that, the final chapter of Defend The Devil has been posted! This has been one hell of a journey but I couldn't be more grateful to be ending this novel and continuing another one. Defend The Devil is the first novel I have finished since 2017 which is a big deal for me because it exceeded my last word limit by a lot. It was more than HALF of the last word limit which was about 25,000 for me. I'm very proud of this novel because It deals with things that I don't often see. My goal in writing novels is to tackle things that other people can't and do it in a way that people can understand.
Here are some of my final words to DTD:
Between March to July, I worked on you during school hours and after school hours. Whenever I could, I was writing and I took my time. I didn't rush like I had done for my previous novel. I wouldn't change anything about this novel because it's so precious to me. I love each and every character (minus a couple) and I'm very grateful to have had people to follow me on this journey. My first reader, a friend named Ricky, really enjoyed this novel when it was still beginning so I decided to share it on wattpad. And with those final words, goodbye Defend The Devil. I'm sure we'll meet again someday. Maybe for a sequel or a prequel sequel? ;) who knows. I love you, Defend The Devil. Live on and thrive <3
