Thanks for the votes on my book (Her Life Became Mine) Glad you enjoyed it

Okay. I had to post the rest of the chapters of 'Shadow Things' all at once because I figured I didn't have enough chapters left to be able to submit it as an ongoing story for the wattys. So. The story is finished. Finally. And I feel like taking a long rest.
          
          I would have loved to add an afterword at the end of the story like I usually do. But my brain feels so addled right now I couldn't possibly write another word. So if there are any questions regarding the story, anything that didn't make sense, I could answer them in the comments :)
          
          Mm...what else...
          
          I could say this is my best written work on wattpad so far...probably...because it's the only work here that's actually been edited. It's still a first draft though so I cannot vouch for it's quality. Just changed a few words and sentences here and there. That would make it something like draft 1.5 I guess? Anyways.
          
          Good luck to everyone else who might be preparing for the wattys too!

So I have been looking at my newest writing project and thinking: to be or not to be (about the book, not me). In the end I decided I'll write a bit more on wattpad.
          
          I don't think my writing has changed much in the past few months. It's still very much amateurish and still kinda heavy on darker themes. But if I'm not going to put it up here it's just going to collect dust on the backshelf of my computer, and, well, that kinda sounds depressing. So here it is. Lo and behold my newest story: Shadow Things.
          
          (Seriously. Blood. Again.)

Classroom X will soon be coming to an end. From what I'd calculated there are just around four chapters left, plus an epilogue. Soon we'll be finding out who the Angel of Death is!

I just republished 'A Case of Fury'. My mother seems to happen forgotten all about wattpad, so I thought why not?
          
          And well, I tried to reread the book, to see if it was really worth it. Here's what I learnt:
          
          1) the story is kinda boring (it's not stupid, but it's not particularly compelling either. And my writing needs to improve too)
          
          2) I kinda like Case (now this is surprising. I wrote him as a character to be hated, to be judged. While writing the story I never had any sympathy for him. Well, now it's changed. He's polite, and smart, and determined and flawed—he's very likely the most complex, perhaps even the most interesting character I'd ever written)
          
          3) Fury is still fun.
          
          So that's it. Happy reading!

When I saw that your book was not on the Shortlist I was so so so sad ❤️❤️❤️  
          But don't worry, you owe it to your amazing characters to keep writing! Wattys are around the corner so expand <3

Congratulations on making the longlist!!! I believe in your greatness. You can do anything you set your mind too. This proves it.

I made the ONC longlist! It's such wonderful news, and it feels amazing to learn that unlike what I've told myself for a long time, my writing isn't entirely worthless. 
          
          Oh, this feels good.

Hey, so I just published the first chapters of my newest book titled 'Classroom X'. I did it. I came up with another dark theme to write about. More blood and bodies. Do check it out if that kind of stuff suits your taste :)

So my mother recently discovered I write on wattpad coz she was logged into my mail. She doesn't approve. I don't know if she remembers my username but I can't help but feel paranoid. I took down A Case of Fury, just in case. Mother already thinks I'm going down the dark path just coz I don't talk much. *sigh. I'll probably be dead before I can escape my mother trying to control every aspect of my life.
