Hey guys, I just wanted to give a quick update. I’m still not really in the right headspace right now. It’s been harder than I expected to rewrite something I genuinely liked, especially when it already felt like the kind of story I’d want to read myself.
          	
          	A writer friend suggested I set aside some time on the weekends to slowly work through it, so I’m going to try that approach and see how it goes.
          	
          	Wishing you all a happy Easter, and I’m really sorry for the delay

@whynotchilling Happy Easter!! Take all the time you need, the story was perfect before and it sucks to know that people think you were copying. But I know that this rewrite will also be as perfect! If you need a break to help clear ur mind, or anything, take it!! Hope you’re doing well and aren’t feeling pressured❤️

@whynotchilling i think your friend Is right. You should rest and let your mind cool down for a moment. The story is yours, and you must feel it as yours in every word you write... Don't worry about the delay and focus on what you really want to give your readers and yourself. Happy Easter (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

Red,
          I am so sorry that I haven't been active. I wanted to read "Unbound" but it was gone then I read the comments. I feel that I failed you as a reader, when I been trying to create my own whychoose works. Please forgive me.

Sorry guys, I’m in a bit of a writer’s slump right now and I just can’t rewrite it -  everything I come up with sounds the same :(

Honestly, fuck all of those people who were saying you copied the first few chapters of your book from somewhere else. Everyone who’s been reading the book with you, knows damn well that it’s not true.

@whynotchilling Sometimes it's better to just take a break. Relax and try to get back to 100% when you feel like it... Take some time for yourself girl ♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱

Heyy Red, it's been a few weeks and I hope you're doing okay. I was wondering if you could made post the unbound again. Not the complete story if it isn't ready ofc, but i've been wanting to re-read the whole story for the big finale. If that isn't possible that's totally okay. You do your thing and what makes you happy. We can wait! Love you♡♡♡

I loved "the Unbound Prequel" . I've literally been glued to my phone for two days trying to figure out what's going on with Aria.
          I'm physically and mentally devastated, but I feel like this whole thing is like a drug. 
          I'M ADDICTED TO HER!!!!!!!
          I hope that in "the unbound"  everyone will find each other and resolve it somehow I literally can't wait!! ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

Question for you guys -- would you prefer I upload the chapters one by one like I did with the prequel, or publish the whole book at once? I’m worried that if I drop everything together, you’ll get flooded with notifications and it might feel overwhelming.  I don’t want anyone to lose track of where they left off. I’m sorry!

Hi, Red
          
          I first started reading The Unbound, but one morning I woke up and it suddenly refused to open. I tried everything, but it just wouldn’t load.
          
          So I searched for the author and discovered The Unbound Prequel. I started reading it and now I’ve finished it — and I loved it so much.
          
          But The Unbound still won’t open, and it’s frustrating because the story is so good and I really want to continue. I just wanted to share what’s happening and how much I’m enjoying your work.

@Amyshantel thank you  and I can't wait  I'm so excited you can't even imagine  woohoo

@Amyshantel Knowing that my story meant that much to you - and that talking to me feels special - is something I will never take for granted. You have no idea how much that touches my heart.
            
            Readers like you are the reason I write. Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your support. I promise it’ll be back soon, and when it is, I hope it feels even more worth the wait.

@whynotchilling Thank you so much for your reply! I just want to say that your book is honestly one of the best I’ve read on the app. Being able to actually talk to you, even through messages, feels really huge to me. I truly appreciate your work and I’ll be patiently looking forward to when it’s back

I wanted to give you a quick update. Some people recently reported the book because they felt the beginning reminded them of other stories. I genuinely had no idea that something like that could even lead to a strike, and there was never any intention to copy or imitate anything.
          
          To be safe (and because I want this story to be 100% mine in every way), I’m going to rewrite the beginning. The core plot, characters, and everything you love will stay the same -  I’m just reshaping the opening to make it even stronger and more uniquely Unbound.
          
          Honestly, I’ve grown a lot as a writer since I first started this book, so this is also a chance to elevate those early chapters.
          
          Thank you for sticking with me and supporting the story. I promise I’m handling it I will be quick.

You didn't deserve this. Your book is one of a kind and absolutely amazing. Hoping that the hate comments will be over now!!
