Thanks

So I'm fast at work on chapter 36.

You wanna see my progress?


I know. It's impressive. But holy shit it's a beast. Already at 121k words. AND with 7 chapters left. 7 chapters at about 2k words each (probs more than that) meaning we still have a good 14k left of this baby. Probably closer to 21k in all honesty.

That's crazy to me.

So just a quick thank you to all of you for being so amazingly supportive. I mean I started on Wattpad TWO whole years ago & back then, I just didn't believe in my writing that much or the stories that I wanted to tell, and you guys are so amazing. You're the reason that I'm where I am and that I've written as much as I have.

As much as I complain, and as slow as I've come to be with writing, you guys are literally the reason I write some days. Of course, I do write the stories for myself, but it's your comments and enthusiasm that ignites a flame inside of me. So THANK YOU.

I know words seem so insincere so I made a short, awkward video. Please excuse my appearance and voice.



To the Bellows fans, thank you for getting red across the board for both ID & TNS and for reading and loving the character as much, sometimes more, than I do. It's heartening to know you care. And even though, if you've ever stalked my message board, I get annoyed with the SCUFFY 4 LYF comments, they are great to read cause I know you love the characters.

To the WT fans, you are so amazingly patient and your comments are some of the best I get. I love ALL of you. You're fantastic.

To the Band Camp fans, I hate the title think of a new one for me. Haha, but really I love all of you. It was a genre I had never written a full story in and you were so amazing with your comments on the story. & when I told you I wanted to do a spin-off you guys were as excited as I was. That's fucking awesome.

Ultimate Price fans, even though the writing isn't my best, I love that you're so into the characters. I believe in Ben and Lillyana's story and it's nice to know other people do too.

Every message I've ever gotten has made my day. Which is so nice because so often the rest of my family ruins it. So thank you for fighting the shitty day syndrome that is my life.

I really I have no more words. I don't think I can express this.  I'm close to 19,000 votes & 2k fans. That's 1912 PEOPLE. I can't wrap my head around that. It's easier to think of you as invisible entities. We'll also ignore the fact that 1912 is the year the Titanic sank...

  2. LOL Malak, you're too cute! I loved the video and you don't sound silly! You sound perfectly normal and of course we're patient with you <3 Writing what you write, it doesn't manifest itself into a novel on the day you draft up an idea!

    Defs good luck in everything you'll pursue in the future you crazy, talented and gorgeous girl <3 No creep vibes intended :)
