i’ve decided to discontinue “ruin.” after thinking long and hard about where i want this book to go, i just couldn’t think of a way to put the best quality of my writing into this book. i know i can do better and take the time to really perfect what i’m writing. and looking back, i’ve realized that “ruin” was mostly an impulsive decision. the idea was in my head for a hot second before i decided to scrap up a chapter and publish it. there was barely any motivation to what i wrote. i’m mostly disappointed in myself for letting this story go, but i think it’s for the best. thank you all SO much for the support and encouragement on the book because it really did make me feel good, but i truly know i can do better!
