Dear Ash_knight17:
I have 3 things to declare to you.
#1: We all love you. So very much! ❤️❤️ How can we not love you when you weave a world where we can escape from our every day worries and get transported to your amazing story?
How can we not love you when you write and give us the daily fix to this insatiable addiction?
How can we not simply wish to hug you and say out loud THANK YOU SO MUCH!
for creating this characters that pull at every string in our hearts? 💕 How can we not feel in debt to you for not only updating, but making every single chapter a cherished one? Just like Calhoun, your updates are sips of water to all of us who thirst for the continuation of this story? We are in a vast desert, the sun is up high, the heat is unbearable, we feel as this will surely make us cry, and then you are that magical oasis that seems like a mirage ✨, we don't even attempt to think that it may be real, but indeed! It is real! There is finally a way to escape this torture, and we approach, careful and worried that it may disappear, and when we finally take a sip of water under the shade, we feel as if paradise is obtainable!
That is how I feel every day! Every day I have to deal with real life issues that chisel away at my peace, at my sanity. Things that make stress bubble up and at times threaten to overflow. Worries, concerns, so much sadness! So much anger at situations and people who don't seem to care about anything or anyone except themselves! And finally, so much loss, so much impotence, frustration, and defeat. Knowing that there is nothing you can do.
Dealing with this has made some of us a bit desperate to find some way to escape this reality. And that's why I think you are so amazingly special!
I know that if you have updated, I can sit down and escape to the world of Maddie and Calhoun, with every character, with every twist and turn, and with so many amazing emotions that make us laugh, cry, and jump in anger! We become the witness to an incredible tale that takes everything away and cleanses the soul so that we can start the next day with renewed energy to keep on going!
This story has given so much to all of us who continue to be here, every day, sometimes multiple times a day, just waiting for some of that fresh water that will keep us going!
You have a magical talent! A very special gift that allows you to write every day, but not just write, you weave a story that it's so amazing that not one single chapter feels as if it was a filler! You write updates that leave all of us either laughing, suspiring, blushing, crying, or shaking with anger! Every simple chapter has become a treasure to me! You are incredible! You write and update every single day, without missing a beat, and continue to make us even more addicted to this story!
What published author out in the world could possibly do that? Yes, they write books that are truly works of art, but not every day and every chapter feels like this! You are writing my real life addiction! And you are my torture and my fix! Whenever I see that there is an update, I run to buy the new chapters because I can hardly wait! And I sit and read with passion and hunger burning inside of me! And even though I know it will not last forever, every single time I reach the end of the update, you will hear me crying out loud: "Noooo! No, no, noooo!!" And without fail, someone from my family will poke their heads and say "Update over huh?" 😂😂
By this point everyone knows that if I am reading 📖, nothing short of death ☠️ will pull me away or take my attention away from your story, and also, everyone knows that if they hear me laughing, or cursing, is because I am in the middle of something happening in the story! 😂
This brings me to # 2:
Please! I beg you, 🙏 never take yourself as someone who doesn't matter to us! We love you and worry for you! If you are not feeling well, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! You are not a machine, you need love and care, and you must look out for yourself!
If you don't feel well, lie down 🛌, drink some tea🍵, and rest! The story is so important to all of us, but we are not heartless! We understand and if you tell us to wait, we will wait until you are doing well! 😊 ❤️ 👍
And finally, # 3:
I might not add a review every single chapter because I don't think there are enough words in this world, or enough ways to tell you that the chapter was amazing. So if I keep on doing that, I will eventually keep repeating over and over until it becomes boring. I rather write you something like this today once in a while and express it with my heart, admiration and love. I want you to know how important YOU are! Because yes, the story is amazing, and so important to us readers, but you are the creator, the magician, the one behind it all, and more than (very deserved) praise for the chapters or the story, you need to know that you matter as well!
You are doing a great job as a writer, a creator, and a weaver of fantastic tales that take all the readers into a journey where we never want to come back!
You are loved and care for all of us, and we wa t you to know that.
But what I want to say more than everything else is
THANK YOU!
Thank you so very much for doing this! For bringing so much to us, for caring enough to make all of it amazingly good, and for not giving up, for all your hard work, for the hours that you have spent writing a single chapter that only takes us 15 minutes to read! (I know how frustrating that is!).
Thank you for your dedication to this story, for creating characters that are so engaging we want to know more and more about them, and thank you for all the time and energy that you have spent to make us happy! 😊
We love this story, and we love you! 😘 ❤️ 🤗👍❤️👏👌👋
