[republishing because I want some questions answered at the end]

Hey, guys!

HOLY FUCKING SHIT I FINISHED A BOOK! LIKE A FULL ASS STORY WITH A FULL ARC AND AHHHHHH

WOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWOWOOWOOWOWOW.

One thing on my bucket list is over :)))

Okay, now that that's out of the way, first of all, I can't believe it is actually over.

Like done.

What.

* cue unconditional crying and wailing and screams *

I started this book on May 26th and finished exactly five months later on October 27th, 2018. Wow. Five months of slaving away, getting reviews, joining book clubs, awards, and basically trying to make the shit I spew into something that is readable, and that is only thanks to ALL #REBELBC members, the tons of reviewers I have gotten reviews from, random people on Wattpad, judges and my lovely ass betas ellefury & MarinaM56 as well as Johnuri62 who helped me discern some historical discrepancies and anyone along the line who has bothered to comment and offer me solid ideas and suggestions, I salute you.

I pants my writing, so I NEVER know where it takes me and this novel was super pantsed. I realize as a result, I have a few plot holes to patch up, but the second and god knows how many drafts of this novel I torture it with, I hope the very final outcome is something that is pleasing to even me and something that I am so so proud of. I mean, I am already, but like something that is even better that the ecstatic feeling I have now.

I plan to get started on edits soo, after taking a much-needed break from this novel and fully editing and polishing up all the chapters. I also plan to add in a few scenes here and there and really flesh out my characters more. I have everything I want to do all in mind, just need to execute it.

I honestly had such fun creating and writing this story. I lost that a few times along the way, and hated it soo fucking much, but I made it to the end and now, I can't believe I have to let them go. it feels insane. I want to cry and laugh and bang my head against a wall and do all at the same time and it is so AHHHHH.

I honestly hope you all enjoyed reading Sophlake's [ yes that is their crappy ass ship name ] journey and Colette's grey, debatable nature and fell in love with them, because I did, and they are my babies and always will be. God, I will miss writing about Sophia and Blake, though they will come in Colette's book briefly. I loved writing the Duke and Darius and the Earl and I hoped you enjoyed hating them with as much passion I did when writing them.

These characters will ALWAYS be a part of me and I hope they made an impact on you as well. They will always be my babies <3

At any time, feel free to submit ANYTHING related to this novel [ fanfic, graphics, aesthetics, trailers, hell even a drawing of a stick figure if you want ] and I will feature it here and it will be cherished SO SO MUCH in my heart. Like i would die if any of you submitted this [ like crystaIIise once did with her cover and I cried for hours !! ]

But NONE of this could be even possible, without my amazing readers. I have many silent ones and a few vocal ones, but each one of you means SO, SO much and I wouldn't get anywhere without you. You all inspire me to write and I can't tell you how much it means that you stuck till the end and stayed to see Sophia's and Blake's relationship pull through. I manage to dedicate chapters to everyone I have seen who has voted &/or commented to thank you all, for it is the least I can do.

There are so many of you and I wish I could come and personally thank you all. Like seriously. I feel so amazed I have so many dedicated readers and supporters. It blows my mind to even think about it for a millisecond.

Even friends who don't read my book, thank you for giving me the occasional confidence boosts I needed to keep going even when I felt the most down. You are awesome and I wish ALL of you success. Truly. You are just awesome. I have made SO many friends on here and you all will ALWAYS be in my heart.

Thank you all for your endless support. When I started writing on Wattpad 5 months ago, I never expected to get 3.1k votes, 5.3k comments and 36k reads at all. The day I got one vote and read was the same when I hit 36k and 3.1k. I never even expected to even cross 1 read or even garner 1 vote or comment and I cry every day for this beautiful blessing, for I do feel truly blessed. I am actually sobbing when I write this. Wow.

The maximum I have EVER written before this book is 6k words in one shot and now it is nearly 100k words and I am shitting myself. Like holy hell. I am so, so proud of myself for actually finishing this and reaching above and beyond my word count [ 50k] for this novel. it's insane to actually think I, I, did this.

So anyhow, what I am trying to say is, thanks for sticking around till the end <3. I love you all.

Other projects I will be starting on include:

-A titleless [lol] Fantasy/ Werewolf novel that I will be beginning shortly :)) I am SOO excited for it guys :))). And it has such steamy ass scenes soooo ;)

-The Wrong Indian Flag - An LGBTQ+ story revolving around an Indian girl & the struggles of coming out.

-Color Me Scarlett- A teen fic revolving around a fat girl believing that she is worthless and a guy & her best friend helping gain her self-confidence.

-Dangerously Yours- Colette's story. Do I need to say more? Blurb and teaser available in this book!

-A Tale of War and Roses- A Historical fiction/ fantasy of a love story between a French woman and an English man, set probably during the Tudor Dynasty, possibly during Henry Tudor's reign.

-Auschwitz Was Not The End [ still researching ] - A short story based on the young girl or boy who lived to see the horrors of Auschwitz in WWII. Very loosely based on real life events and stories but predominantly fiction. Adviced for 18+ because of disturbing content

-And I will be periodically uploading writing snapshots too with short stories :)

So yes, you will be seeing this bitch uploading a ton of stories and you can wallow in her words. :DDDD, which I assume and [hope] you want ;)

Here are some reader questions I would love for you all to answer!:

1) Who's your favorite character and why?

2) Who's your least favorite character and why?

3) Best villain out of all the three? Why?

4) Which was your most favorite chapter and why?

5) Who would you like to see not a novel, but one chapter stories of, like fanfiction for my own work basically? One shot if you will :)

6) Was this novel a smooth and entertaining read? Why or why not? How can I improve?[ feel free to give ANY thoughts-harsh ones included]

7) How did you even find this novel?

8) What was the one thing that made you want to continue the novel till the end? Whether it be a chapter, an event, a character: what spurred you on?

9) Best plot twist in the book is....?

10) And finally, what was your reaction when you heard this novel was coming to an end?

And I am currently looking for someone to make a trailer for this novel, but I also need to decide the cast first, so PLEASE comment here if you have any suggestions and common any awesome sauce trailer makers :). I also want an editor who is pretty fast and good, so pm me if interested.

Ok, that's a wrap! Thank you so fucking much.

If at any time you need to talk or need writing advice or just need to rant, I am always open to it :). Don't be shy !

Goodbye now and hope to see all of you for my next novel ;)
