Text Pals ✔️

Author's Note// Thank You!

Well, that's it!

Yup, this book is finally complete.

Thank you all for joining me on this one year journey. I've truly learned a lot and grew quite a lot too (not in height I'm still short.) It's amazing what this book has accomplished.

This book started last summer when I had an idea during a summer night. I began to write snippets of it in my notebook and by the end of summer, I had published the first few chapters on Wattpad. The chapters were fun and easy to write and I began to fall in love with this story. Additionally, there was an overwhelming amount of good responses.

When September rolled in I began writing a chapter per day during my morning commute. As soon as I published it, no more than two minutes and I would receive a notification. It was insane!

Seems impossible, doesn't it?

While writing Text Pals I wanted it to be as less cliche as possible but I guess that didn't work out because the plot itself is cliche. But then again, what really is cliche? If it is cliche, does that means at one point it was good? Life questions...

This story was inspired by the many amazing dialogue/text stories here on Wattpad. I wanted to create something original besides prank calls, wrong numbers, or calling a hotline. This resulted in the "School Experiment" of "Text Pals."

I would have to admit I was pretty proud of my idea but not as much on the overall writing. You can tell the story was not planned but rather based on my savageness, my ability to create pick up lines in a manner of seconds and my inability to roast. Sometimes I question these qualities of mine and where it came from.

Now, let's get to the important part: You.

Yes, you.

I now have so many friends to talk to and so much advice I can receive. The amount of inside jokes we all have as a wonderful community is absolutely amazing!

I love every single one of you.

Also, we may not speak of that chapter.

But seriously, every single one of you are so amazingly special and if I could hug all of you I would.

You are all gorgeously made, special, and loved human beings! Do not ever forget that!

So this has been a very kewl adventure and I hope there are many more to come!

I hope you enjoyed my story and will come back for more soon.

But for now,
Peace out!

(Yes I wrote this chapter 2 months after I completed this book. If that is not procrastination I don't know what is.)
