Salutations,
          	(teehee)
          	Its been a very long time since I’ve been properly online. Maybe you’ve wondered where I am, or if I’m alive, or maybe not— really, that doesn’t matter. But what does matter is that I logged in and saw Love Letters back at number 1 for the short horror story genre… and I made that story when I was in 8th grade. 
          	Yeah. Wow.
          	So, being that it’s 2024 and almost the anniversary of LL (and there are STILL PEOPLE READING IT) I decided it’s time for an update and also some lore???
          	I made love letters in 2021 when I was in 8th grade, so I guess I was 14 around then? I made it all in my first and second class period of the day and I posted the draft here in Wattpad for fun. Didn’t think it’d get an audience, but I really adored the yandere genre at the time. Little did I know, I’d see this story blow up?? By the end of the year, I went from zero followers and readers to now having placed #1 in the short horror story category. Now, that may not seem soooo impressive compared to other stories on here, but it shocked me. I went on to make the sequel far later.
          	I’m gonna graduate highschool soon and I’ve never forgotten Love Letters. There’s still an aspiration to get it published, despite how my life has twisted and changed around since LL first dropped, and even with so many passion projects… I always come back to this. So yes, I will have it published someday. Soon? I’m not sure. But someday. AND it will be written FAR better. The LL books are all one draft with no revisions or actual edits, so they’re kinda… interesting. 
          	But, I want to close this off by saying thank you for the support. It meant the world to a young girl and it means a lot now to someone who still loves creating. So thanks you. Sincerely. I may not be active on Wattpad, but this story will be out there on bookshelves someday. And when that day comes, I’ll be back.

hey guys,,,  soo I have some news,,
          So, Love Letters has been a fairly successful story on Wattpad for the amount of time it's been up.
          I've gotten so much support that I've decided to finally make Love Letters into an actual book!! 
          SUPRISE!! 
          Of course it won't be the exact same,,, I'm going to be adding in more scenes, more plot and backstory and just overall write it way better. I think I could have done so much more with this story but it didn't have a great structure. 
          The only present bump in progress is trying to figure out if I should smush the sequel and original into one book OR just rewrite and publish the original. So if y'all could give any input that'd be great!!
          I already have someone who's willing to publish it when it's out (it's good to have connections) BUT it definitely won't be out this year (though possibly later in 2023, that's not set in stone.) 
          
          Now, I have a request for all of you! I love hearing reader reviews from my audience because I want you all to enjoy what I put out!! So if you have any suggestions on how to make this story better, any scenes you may want to see more of, characters you want to learn more about or overall advice/criticism,, PLEASE TELL ME!!! comment on this post or in my chapter I'm posting this on!!! I want to hear your thoughts!!! 
          
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!! ✨
