Y’all aren’t even READY for how cool the cover looks for Where The Light Doesn’t Reach!! And yes, I’m going the self publication route, but I’m hoping for the best haha. Thanks for being here yall! Also happy trans visibility day!!
AnxiousStar
I sent in “Where The Light Doesn’t Reach” to be edited/proofread and I’m so nervous? Hopefully, even if I don’t get accepted by a literary agent, then I’ll at least be ready to self publish. I hope I still have some of your guys’ support, it always means so much and it’s what helps me keep going in this process despite my bad habit of telling myself that my writing isn’t good enough! Y’all are awesome, I know there’s only a few of you but your guys’ comments and support really mean everything to me I saw only a couple people have moved on to reading my other book “Not Your Usual Vampire Story”, so if you haven’t yet then please check it out! I’d love to see what some of you think haha. Anyways, thanks again for being here guys! Look forward to a physical book in the future!

@AnxiousStar I'm really happy for you! Hope it works out with the literary agency and if not I wish you good luck with self-publishing your book! I'm more of a „silent reader“ but I support you. ✨ I really liked your story „Where The Light Doesn't Reach“ and look forward to more stories from you! :)
AnxiousStar
@notavailablefornow_ thank youuu! You’re too kind! <33 I totally get that, I’m usually a silent reader too ngl lol - I just never know what to comment! Thank you for being here and reading my work? It honestly means the world to me ✨

New chapter for “Not Your Usual Vampire Story”!! I really hope that there’s at least one person reading it, I’m honestly a little proud with how this rewrite’s going haha
AnxiousStar
Final chapter for “Where The Light Doesn’t Reach” has been posted!!! Please tell me your thoughts, I hope it was worth the wait! Thank you so much again to everyone who still reads it, you’re all awesome If you guys like my writing style and want to read more from me, I’m currently reworking my other book “Not Your Usual Vampire Story” which also has similar themes (mental illness, lgbt, sunshinexstormcloud) and I’d love it if you guys checked that out too! Thank you again, and enjoy! :)

@jrzy79 Ooo well definitely let me know what you think! :D I hope it was worth the wait! <33

@AnxiousStar I've only made it the beginning of chapter 1 but the prologue made me cry. That was a powerful start.

Just published another edited chapter of “Not Your Usual Vampire Story”! If anyone’s reading along as I work on it then lmk what you think, I hope this version is an improvement of the old one lol! As for “Where The Light Doesn’t Reach” readers, prepare for the last chapter! Thank you guys for being here on this journey, y’all are awesome! <3
AnxiousStar
Sooo I finished Where The Light Doesn’t Reach’s last chapter, and I sincerely apologize to those reading but I think I might not post it and just let people read it when it’s actually published? If y’all hate this idea tho then lmk! I just thought it might convince people to actually buy the book whenever it comes out lol. Still trying to decide if I should self publish? Haven’t stopped getting turned down unfortunately. I think right now people are focused on fantasy because of booktok and don’t really care for the kind of content of WTLDR. I’ll keep y’all updated! Also, I’m sure a couple people who like my book “Not Your Usual Vampire Story” have noticed that I unpublished all the chapters and have been slowly republishing them as I rework them! I hope to someday get this book published too, so I had to go in and fix all the cheesy clichés and references I put in when I first wrote it in 2018 haha. I hope y’all will read the revised version!

I think you should publish it here for the og readers and then when you do actually publish it, remove some of the last few chapters and add a “if you want to keep reading buy the book here blah blah blah.” A lot of Wattpad authors do that and I think it works out well for them. Especially with people who liked the story so much they want to reread it. I’ve definitely read it a few times now.

@jjcilyyyyyyyy @Dragons_and_Swords Awee well then I’ll definitely upload the last chapter for y’all! If anything then this is technically the rough draft anyways, since I still have to send it in to be proofread and edited ✌ So y’all will get to see my sloppiness first and then the nice final copy in the published version haha
AnxiousStar
It’s been a while, sorry guys! I promise I’m still working on my stories. If anyone’s still around then just know I appreciate you so much! <3

@axa_189 thank you so much!! I’m trying my best haha, I think that’s why I always take so many long breaks - always recovering from burnout! I hope you’re taking care of yourself too and thanks for still being here!! <333

Hey, I was just wondering if there will be any more updates to your vampire story
-
AnxiousStar
Sorry for the late reply!! But yes there will be! At the moment I’m working on another story of mine, but as soon as that one’s complete then I’ll be reworking that one. I want to completely go back and revise it, so I’ll be taking it down and reuploading the chapters as I work on them
AnxiousStar
I know I expected it, but I’m only getting rejection emails from literary agents and it’s putting me down a lot more than I thought it would? I knew that it might not get any takers due to how serious the content of Where The Light Doesn’t Reach is, but I still have hope! Everyone send good vibes if you can! <3

AnxiousStar
@crowbrs_ thank you so much! <33 I’m definitely considering self publishing, it’s just always been my dream to have an official agent and have my book sold in stores so I wanted to try and see if I could do it. I’ll self publish if I must though haha. Thank you again, you’re so kind!

AnxiousStar
@bluebutterfly_66605 Thank you so much! I haven’t yet, but I might if I don’t get any takers haha. If you self publish on there before I hear back from all the literary agents then I’d love to know what you think! I’ve heard mixed opinions about self publishing on Amazon so it might ease some anxieties haha
bluebutterfly_66605
@AnxiousStar yeah, hope you get someone. I'm still drafting my story but other users on here have done that. If you would like their users I can send them though.
AnxiousStar
I haven’t finished cleaning up the last chapter for Where The Light Doesn’t Reach, I’m sorry guys! I’ve been sending in my book to literary agents so maybe someday it could be published. I’ll be posting it soon tho, especially since I want to work on my other book and redo it completely. Anyways, sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience! <3
