Good afternoon, my lovelies! Long time, no see ;) A lot of you might be a bit surprised by this update and anxious to see what I have to say. So please, read to the end to find out. And I am very sorry to disappoint, but I have not posted the prequel... Yet.

I know a lot of you were anticipating the next installment to I'm Fine, but it feels as if a majority of that excitement has vanished over time. So in order to bring back that exhilaration, I have a challenge for you all and I need each and everyone's help in order to achieve this.

If you all can get I'm Fine to 1 MILLION reads, then I'll post I'm falling. Seem a bit unfair? Sure, I guess, but think about it. The more people I know are excited about this prequel, the more excited I'll be in posting it.

And I know, I know. You are more than likely annoyed at my procrastination right now, but I need to make sure that when I do post the prequel, you guys will still be interested in it.

By promoting my story and getting your friends to read I'm Fine, not only will you help me build my foundation as a writer, but you will also help bring awareness to how severe bullying is and the impact derogatory words and actions can have on a person's life. By helping me out, I'll know that I still have faithful readers who care about this story and the words I have to say.

If you help me out, I can help you out, too! (Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Anyone?) There are three things you have to meet, though. If you add my story to at least one of your public reading lists, promote my story on social media and/or your profile (simply by asking people to check out I'm Fine by XCrocusX or just mentioning it one way or another-positively, that is), and tag no less than three people to read I'm Fine, then make an inline comment to this paragraph once you're done, and afterwards, I'll check and see if you've completed all three steps. If you have, then you'll receive a DEDICATION to I'm Fine or possibly to any new chapter of I'm Falling. Cool, right? And I may or may not give out a secret prize, too. But we'll see.

I really do appreciate you guys and the support you've given me so far, but this added boost of of your help will mean so so much to me. If you're reading this, then I can't thank you enough. But remember, the sooner this gets 1 million reads, the sooner you all get to jump into Elliot's father's life in I'm Falling. I'm pretty sure you all are curious as to what happened in his life for him to act the way he did in I'm Fine. But don't worry, all with be revealed in the prequel. Have a spectacular day, my lovelies! And never forget: you are smart, beautiful, and strong. I love you guys ♡♡♡

And while you're at it, don't forget to check out my other stories, preferably Lost Girl (sequel to Lost Boy) and This Boy Named Kyle. I know I'm shamelessly advertising, but you've got to do what you've got to do ;)

Oh! And happy (almost) mother's day to all my moms out there! My mom is an absolute sweetheart and has pushed me to be the strong and determined lady I am today. Of course I get annoyed sometimes (like when she doesn't allow me to do certain things), but in the end run, I know that what she does will benefit me later on in life. So if you're a mom, make an inline comment here so I can shout you guys out on my page tomorrow!
