I can't really believe we made it; I say we because this wouldn't happen without your support. I finished writing this novel in half a year, and it's really a short time for me. It taught me a lot in my writing, planning, and character development, and I can even say it now has the best writing quality among my complete novels here.

It was challenging to write SOWK for several reasons: I wrote a full novel from a guy's POV for the first time, and he is a teenager, I HAD TO DO AN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON ROUTE 66 not to mess this up, and I literally planned every corner they went to make it sound as realistic as possible. I had lots of fun doing it, and it reminded me that I missed YA.

I think this research made me travel around the States, though I've never been there before. It was really useful and proved to me that planning is important. Okay, so I was going with the flow in other stories, but from now on, I'll first plan with details and dive in.

George Shaw and Abby Whittaker will stick with me, and they taught me a lot. I'm really thankful for it.

Thanks to Dilan () for being with me throughout the way, telling me how much she loves this book, and listening to my ramblings about the plot, the characters, and everything else basically. She's been my rock this year, and my writing speed doubled ever since we met. Love you, beautiful lady.

To Anha () for being an amazing friend and beta reader. She's read all of the chapters and left me such insightful comments. Well, her feedback and insight about this story and my writing, in general, have kept me going for so long. So, thank you for sticking with me through everything and making me feel confident in my writing. I love you.

Thanks to everyone who has read this story, left votes and comments, and supported me!

I might write a bonus chapter in the future, but I want to focus on my other projects for the time being. I was going to write the epilogue in George's POV but decided to write in Abby's to show you how Abby sees George and how insecure she really is. Hope I managed to write it justice.

Before I conclude, I have a question in mind:

See you on another journey,
