hello my darlings! 
          	
          	i just wanted to make a post letting you all know that from the 1st of November, 'Texting Him' will no longer be able to be purchased as a paperback. 
          	
          	In the distant future, once i've had some time with the book and learned a bit more about the publishing industry, i may try to publish it again. but until then, the book will be available on wattpad and inkitt. 
          	
          	i wanted to express my sincere gratitude to anyone who purchased the book. it really meant the world to me that people thought my work was worth the money. i've had a lot of doubts about myself and my career going forward because of the lack of publishing industry in Australia, but i'm always reminded that there are people who like what i do, even if it's just on the internet. 
          	
          	over the holidays once i've graduated, i think i'm going to do a real thorough edit of all my works, considering everything i've learned about writing from my studies, but i'll upload them as a whole separate book because i dont want to lose any of the hysterical comments some of y'all have left. 
          	
          	anyway, this might be my last announcement on wattpad for a long time, if not the last one ever. i have so much love for every one of you. thank you for this journey. 
          	
          	all my love,

Hi! Idk if you'll respond but I finished texting him a while ago and it's such a cute story lol, but I got a question, what did amber do that pissed off Sloane so much lol

Invisibleky3

@sage_reed Thank you so much for responding!! But wow, a five book series would've been awesome lol, but I'm more than satisfied with being in Sloane and Parkers world XD I love the both of them so much and texting stories just have a place in my heart cause they're always really beautiful for some reason, but anyways I had never really picked up on that for some reason, if I did I probably would've guessed something mightve happened smh but now I can say I don't like Amber with my chest, even if it is a hard situation and at least now I know that she finds a better person in her life! Thank you very much for clearing that up for me!! :)

@Invisibleky3 HI!! I'm so happy you liked my silly little story. So, I've been dying to talk about this, but i was originally going to write five stories in what i was going to call the 'new love' series: texting with sloane and parker, poetry with andy and vincent, letters with clara and mark, records with bea and carmen, and books with anya and levi. that way i could do full back stories for everyone and it would be nicely wrapped up. alas,  lost the writing spark but i do still have such a big spot in my heart for bea. 
            
            so, here it is: bea, as i'm sure everyone could pick up, is gay. she, however, had a very disapproving mother which gave her a lot of doubt about herself. but still, she was pretty open about it around people and eventually found out that amber was in the closet and had a thing for her (i think the idea was that they had a project together and there was a lot of lingering glances, soft touches, etc). they eventually started too 'date' - but that's where it went downhill. Amber was extremely insecure about Bea's confidence, and was possessive to a dangerous point - but the moment they were in public, bea didn't exist. and if she did, amber's friends would be mocking her for being a lesbian and amber's excuse for being a part of it all would be that she was scared of coming out and bea never wanted to force her to come out so she stayed silent. she lost a part of herself in amber. Sloane didn't know all the details, but she did know a woman had taken advantage of bea's feelings and caused her to crumble in on herself. a lot more awful stuff was supposed to go down but that was the most of it. eventually though, bea meets a tattoo artist called carmen in a record store, and sweet carmen helps bea peace herself back together and live how she always wanted to. 
            
            i hope that clears up why everyone dislikes amber (as just a genuinely mean person) and why sloane hates amber more! 
            
            lots of love my dear!

in 2017 i made this account: 'sage reed'
          it was a project to post 'Texting Him' to see if anyone liked my writing. 
          
          2022, and i'm one semester off completing my BFA. 
          i just wish i could have told my younger self that the world keeps moving forward even when it feels like it might crumble. 
          
          all my love to you all.

Hi, hope you’re well. I’m unable to find texting him on Amazon. Can you please help here?

hi all,
          not super important but a bit of an update for y'all. 
          
          i have decided to bring Texting Him back to wattpad for good. this means that all of the chapters will be available on this platform again. 
          this might annoy some people that it has taken this long and i have certainly seen many comments that say i'm a terrible person for having the whole book uploaded on wattpad, but while i was earning with inkitt it was a sacrifice i had to make so i could gain financially form my writing (my inkitt earnings went to having Texting Him published, so i am so grateful for everyone who moved to inkitt just for texting him to support my writing). 
          now that i am no longer affiliated, i see no reason to not reupload the chapters that had been previously removed. 
          
          once again, thank you. to everyone who has supported me from the start, to everyone who is supporting me now. i really can't express how much it really means to me. 
          if you've gotten this far without being bored as heck, thank you for that too. 
          i love you all dearly.

@sage_reed it isn't hard to download inkitt if the readers liked the book enough to want to finish it. I've read the book probably 3 times by now and have downloaded inkitt all the 3 times just for reading Texting Him, lol. (I was considering rereading, btw) it's a free app, after all. why direct comments like that at the author which will make them feel guilty for just monetising their work which the readers don't even have to pay anything for. 
            
            sage, you are a very talented writer and are the sweetest ever. I was so happy when I saw the updates of the remaining chapters of TH! thank you so much for that! you are very cool x

hey I was wondering if the "his nepenthe" playlist is on spotify 
          also please get that book published I really want to have a physical copy and I literally finished reading it and oh boy I loved it so if there ever is a physical copy I would love to buy it 
          anyway I'm onto reading all your other books and boy am I excited 
          love, kadie

sage_reed

@kadiexo17 hi lovely! 
            i dont have spotify so there isnt a playlist unfortunately! 
            i would love to get it published, but unfortunately unlike my other book, it would be a net loss because it has a lot less viewers and i can't afford to self publish at the moment with that in mind! maybe in the future, but for now i can't :(
            thank you so much for reading though, and i'm really glad you enjoyed it! your support means a lot to me x
             
            all my love back to you, 
            sage x

Am currently reading #textinghim and trust shifting all the way to inkit was such a pain in the neck considering that it was refusing to work and taking so much time .... I hope it's worth it ... 
          And thanks for making me really addicted ..to Sloane and parker

sage_reed

@moony_zena thank you for putting in the effort for me! lots of love from me, Sloane and Parker x

Hey...I wanted to ask if 'texting him  ' is a good read? .... I mean is there happy and conclusive ending? Cause I don't wanna cry at the end ...
