@ReginaMangala ooh can't wait to see what happens next 

@Naomi696 Not feeling much better, but am trying to make progress. Scene 1 of chapter 50 is done, with two more scenes planned.

@Sparrowscanfly213 You flatter me, thank you! I'm just happy that people are entertained by my silly little story. Thank you for your support! <3

@ReginaMangala oh that’s awesome! Maybe I should try the reading out loud… Anyways! Your writing is amazing!!!!! So well done! :O

            A few things!
            
            1. I read a lot when I was younger, and am still a big reader. Learning how other people write really helped me develop my own writing style. I read mostly sci-fi, mystery, and dystopian novels. I think by far reading and learning how words worked/fit together was the biggest thing that helped me.
            
            2. I paid attention in English class, LOL! I would always ask my English teachers for feedback on my work, and take any edits/advice they had to heart.
            
            3. I read all my lines of dialogue, and even entire chapters, out loud to make sure they "sound" right. If it "sounds" wrong, it usually is wrong. Spell check, a thesaurus, and grammar helpers are also my best friends.
            
            4. Practice! I've been working on this story for 3 years now, and I can definitely see an improvement from my latest chapters as compared to my first few chapters. Practice makes perfect, after all!

@The-Drinker-Of-Tea Oh wow, I didn't even know this feed existed! I'm a bit of an AO3 transplant so forgive the learning curve.
            
            Funnily enough, I literally just checked my Wattpad stats for the first time in like a month, logged out... and my phone immediately dinged with this notification! Spooky ~
            
            Anyway, so glad to hear you're enjoying the book! Bit of an update on that: Chapter 45, "Tea Time" is about 80% done, and I hope to publish it before the end of the month soooo... very soon! Am basically using my long weekend I get off from work to power through it. It's already 8,000+ words and includes a few exchanges I'm quite proud of, and I can't wait for you to read it!!!
            
            Again, not really sure how Wattpad works (there's an 'algorithm' over here, apparently) but I sincerely appreciate the comments and your continued support! <3 <3 <3
