Not An Update (though I just posted one right before this)

Hiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone.

i just wanted to like honestly thank you for taking the time to read my story...like those that add it to their libraries or reading lists, those who follow me...it just means so much. like i honestly can't explain how much it means to know people read my story.

like i read a ton on wattpad & i always smile when i get a notification on my phone that a story updated & i never thought that people would feel that way towards my writing. it's just super cool.

i wrote this story like throughout the month of june, after i got home from my freshman year at university & i literally wrote it in three weeks, like i wrote nonstop. (I always wait to post a story once it's completed so i never have to keep anyone waiting for updates) but yea, so i wrote it & i didn't think i'd ever post it but then people liked my ashton story, make it work, which isn't my best writing in my opinion, but i figured why not post this michael one. what did i have to lose?

& now it's at like 17K reads & i know some stories get like 170K but i don't care, this is an insane amount to me. i can't thank you enough for the comments &  votes too or for those of you that like private message me & tell me how you feel. it's amazing to know that the topics i chose to include in this story, like the sexual assault & alcoholism, have like helped you guys too. i'll keep in anon but after reading my story, someone messaged me & said that it helped them out of their denial that their friend actually raped them & that's great. at my uni, i teach workshops about sexual assault & the greatest gratification is helping someone in their journey & so being able to do that through my writing is super humbling.

the story still have like 20 chapters to go, so this isn't like an ending note or anything but i just felt the need to thank you guys.

it's okay if you don't read this letter either but if you have then thank you. you deserve all the tacos in the world.

anyway, thanks again & just know that you all mean a lot to me.

you're all beautiful & special people & the world wouldn't be the world without you :)

enjoy your night/morning/day,

cathy :)

p.s. i have a luke & a calum fic completed & i don't know which is post next...i'll start posting it once this michael one is almost finished. i think i'll post a snipit of each some other time & you guys can tell me what boy you want next. i love them both & i can't pick. kay cool. peace & blessings.
