MESSAGE TO ALL OF MY READERS ABOUT "HER UNBECOMING" WHICH WAS ONCE CALLED "HE'S/SHE'S DANGEROUS" (PART 1):
Let me start by saying this:
I have been apart of the Wattpad community for almost four-five years now. I have re-written, re-edited, torn apart and put back together what is now "Her Unbecoming." Many people complain, or ask me why I keep changing the plot, the characters, and many other things.
Let me thoroughly give you the story of writing this story- if that makes any sense?
It all started about three years ago, when I had this, what I thought, amazing idea.
The premise, the plot, the characters- I laid all of them out and built everything up and constructed it as well as I could. I was excited and people began to read my story, loving it!
Months later, a TV show released nearly identical to my story.
It made me insecure about my writing, like maybe my ideas weren't so original after all. The characters on the TV show were more vibrant, and the plot was stronger. People began watching the show who read my book, and starting commenting on my chapters, comparing the two.
Then people, who hadn't read my book first, started commenting that I was "copying" the show. But I wasn't. I published the book months before the show was even released or anyone even knew of it. I had no intention of writing a story so similar to it.
I don't blame anyone, it was just a mere coincidence.
Then I started writing Author's notes, asking how I could change the story and do things differently to make my story different, new, refreshed and unique.
The amount of input was tremendous.
Absolutely tremendous.
Hundreds of comments and hundreds of messages flooded my inbox with these creative plots and brand new characters and all sorts of other things.
I began unpublishing my chapters, re-working a lot of the ideas into the story.
