Hi, you sound like you could be a one man band! I'm sorry your stepfather through away your novel! That's a lot of work to lose! My first novel was probably about a third of the way finished when I went away to college and never ended up finishing it. But thankfully, I just finished "Reckless Lives", my first complete novel on wattpad, and am working dilligently on the sequel "Ruin and Redemption" which will complete the story.
