I want to start by saying a big thank you to all of you guys for following me this far into my life, and sticking with me even through my god awful writing that I am still in the process of editing. Buuuuttt thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement on this journey of my works. I really appreciate each and everyone of you! Now without further delay.... Your questions are finally about to be answered once and for all!

Let's just start out with the most asked question, some even asking it multiple times just to get the message through to me:

I actually have began writing a sequel to this book already, it's called The Girl Without The Hoodie. You can check that out on my profile under my works along with countless unfinished books that I can never really get the energy to finish. Ultimately I don't really know if I will continue with writing more to make it a series, but I might consider it one day.

I'm just going to use this to say a little bit about myself. I'm actually only 16, I'm female, and I'm from Wisconsin, US. Shout out to all the Wisconsinites!!!!

My characters were just kinda made up, like I have an image of them in my head and then do a random name generator until I find the name that seems to fit the depiction of the character in my head.

I actually got the idea and inspiration to write this from reading other books, as I read them I just picture ways that I would have done something different or changed what happened and it just kinda inspired me to write my own. I had no plan what-so-ever as to how this story was going. I had started it when I was around 13-14 and then took a break for a while and then picked it back up again, so basically whatever I could come up with in my head, that's what was written down.

Yes, almost after every chapter honestly. I just found my writing to be very simplistic and boring so I was always thinking of all the bad things people were going to think or say about my writing, but in the end you have to realize that your writing is your own work and if it's not good enough for someone then they can take it upon themselves to write their own story/book and see how difficult it really is. Usually I just kinda put off writing for a bit until I got my spirit back up, maybe read a few books to get my mind off of it and get me back into that inspired mood.

I have no system to my madness, so when the chapters come they come. My life is very hectic half the time, I have 3 AP classes that I have required homework for and then I work on the weekends so lately I haven't had much time to write more chapters.

I kinda explained this above, but I had started off reading other books somewhat similar to mine, but as I went along reading all of these I just kinda thought of ways that I would have written them if I had wrote them. Then one day I guess I just kind of started writing and it went from there.

My favorite character has to be Danny, just his wild and wacky personality. Brings light to the darkness of the story/book. I am probably most like Bailey, I'm a very shy and quiet person. Although I am not going through the things that she did, I relate to her in a way.

Possibly! I think I might once I finish editing all of the chapters, which may take a while.

This may be one of the bonus chapters so you will just have to wait and see!

Just be you. Honestly it doesn't really matter what people say, I mean to an extent yes, but just do what feels comfortable. Move at your own pace and work however fast you want. Because if you rush and try to satisfy everyone it takes the fun and enjoyment out of it for yourself. Just be yourself and don't let anyone's negative comments get to you because at the end of the day, you will be the one with something you can be proud of.

I believe I started writing around 12-14, can't really remember not going to lie. And as said before, other books and the writers of those books inspired me to write. Although I didn't have one specific role model when it comes to writing, it would have to be in general the authors on this site. They showed me that it was possible to do something and not know a single thing about it and still succeed at what you are doing.

This story/book was actually kinda hard to write. I mean I personally was able to never experience anything like what Bailey had to go through, so having to try to morph my writing into a realistic kind of writing style was slightly difficult, and at times just putting myself in her shoes, even if she wasn't real it was difficult to just think of the terrible things. Like there are some kids out there that go through things much worse than what I have written about, and I just kind of wanted to bring that to the surface and get people exposed to what really happens. My biggest tip would have to be to put yourself in your characters' perspective. Try to imagine that everything you are writing about is actually happening, and try to imagine how you would react, and just be you, don't let peoples negative comments get to you. I have written a few other stories/books although this is the only finished one. You can check them all out on my profile under my works.

Currently no, and I probably wont. Wattpad has kinda become my home.

Definitely not, Kev later on throughout the story/book becomes kind of a sweet person. It was just to kinda show that he wasn't use to having new people in their group of friends and to show his protectiveness of the people he cares about.

I try to aim for around 1,000 maybe a little more. But it all just kinda depends on where my head is at and how creative I'm feeling.

Over all probably 3 years. Would have probably been less if I hadn't taken the break for a while, but yeah. Writers block makes it really difficult to write sometimes and when you just can't think of anything then nothing gets done.

If there are any questions that you still have or I didn't answer clear enough feel free to message me or leave a post on the conversations on my profile. Also, if you are feeling up to it, go ahead and check out my other works, although they aren't done, just bear with me.

I am aware that this book has many flaws, and I am trying to work on that, so some of the content may be different when I start nearing the end of my editing. Again thank you so much for everything you have done for me and for sticking with me though this long journey. I love each and every one of you!
