Hii,

It's been I don't know how long since I used wattpad, let alone wrote anything on here. Since I last actively used this app I have graduated high school, albeit during a pandemic. I never felt obligated to 'leave' all of the work I did on Wattpad over the nearly three years I used it, with a proper goodbye/explanation, but with nothing to do I remember how I just left stuff unfinished (literally).

I cringe reading back bits and pieces of my old work. Not just spelling errors and writing inconsistencies stemming from a lack of understanding of the English language, but plot-wise and the way my stories flowed. I have since read and learnt a lot more about how to write. If I get motivated enough, I might attempt to rewrite some of the better stuff. It's not like I haven't got time for it right now.

If you still follow me, or this book, and remember when i was still actively updating, thank you. I remember having this group of usernames that would always pop up when I updated, some of whom I became friends with. These people were what kept me writing.

For a long time I felt like I didn't have close friends, in real life or otherwise. I've since learnt that that is absolute bullshit. I have the best friends I could imagine, both on and offline. But it took connections and conversations on places like Wattpad to see that. I have a lot to thank to this website.

Thank you for reading along with me. Keep reading fanfiction, keep writing it and keep talking to other people. It might take a while, but you'll see, at some point that there is going to be a difference in your life.

Lots of love,

Elise

And a special note for this story: I looked at the statistics of this book, and I'm astounded. There's still active comment threads, still unique reads, people voting etc. That is so incredible to me. A lot of things are wrong with the stories I wrote content and English wise, but the love these stories still get warms my heart.
