Thank you!

LOVE this.

HEY GUESS WHAT? THE SEQUEL IS A THING. A REAL THING. LIKE I PUBLISHED THE FIRST PART OF A SEQUEL! I can't wait to hear what you think of it. Your words of encouragement through all of this have meant more than you could ever truly know.

@xXFluffy_GruXx
Hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later. I'm behind with work which is stressful. I work for myself so it's not like I can have anyone else help but the good thing is I can take care of everything I need to without worrying about punching a clock for someone else. I'm also at that point where my sleep habit is so screwed that I just honestly want to pull an all-nighter, hate my life for like a day and a half and then hope that it resets my sleep schedule. Maybe tonight is the night for that. I could write instead of sleep, haha!

@raybansncoffee
Exactly! You are also 100% correct about growing through what you go through! I'm excited and anxious to see what comes next, but I'll wait patiently this time, promise. XD

@xXFluffy_GruXx
Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me, seriously. Getting a chance to channel this emotion into my writing will be helpful. There will be happy times before during and after the hard but the hard parts will hopefully not only help my characters grow but help me get through this in a healthier way. You grow through what you go through, right? I'm glad that you were able to channel your emotions into writing after your grandfather's death and whether you decide to share it someday or not is totally up to you because likely all you needed was to get it out and on the page. It will also help you push yourself to become a better writer as you continue to grow from that experience and the rest of what life has in store for you.

I'm so terribly sorry that you have been going through all of that with your mom! Family first 110 million%! I cant wait to read what you've been working on and I know the plans you have for this story (I read the spoiler) is gonna be a rollercoaster of emotions. I know from personal experience that writing is an escape, but in order to escape, you have to write what you are feeling. Me, personally, could never publish what I wrote after losing my grandfather because its WAY too personal, but it's some of my best work to this day. I cant wait to read everything of yours! Best wishes to you and your mom!

Thank you so much. The honesty from people has been helpful. I LOVE the sequel idea I have but I just don't know if I can pull it off. It would have a cliffhanger for ITHOLA and I'd hate to lose the joy in this after that. I'm thinking I'll finish this with a solid ending and maybe use the big cliffhanger idea I had for shorter stories involving the characters. Similar to what I've done for London Calling and what A New Life in New York is.

I sure hope there's an actual book someday. I've got the first two chapters written and so far I'm really happy with it. It's different and I'm loving it so far. I'm also setting much more realistic goals on chapters and deadlines for myself. No point in taking something I love and allowing it to get out of control to the point that I sit down and can't write it.

Thank you so much for your support through all of this (we are at years at this point I think, haha). You've been a great cheerleader while I've written all of these stories and developed these characters. You have no idea how much that means to me.

I would love for you to continue and have a sequel with shorter chapters, but I don't want you to overwork yourself and end up absolutely having no motivation with this story and ending up detesting it. I have a few of those. I started a fanfiction when I started on this sight... that is supposed to still be in the works, but I started it when I was ...16? and I'm 20 years old now. Things change, people change. So, I would be okay with whatever you think is best. I love ALL of your stories, you are a phenomenal writer, and I look forward to reading everything you write, which one day might be an actual book, who knows? Lol.

@raybansncoffee
It’s okay, I’m falling so behind on so many stories because I’m trying I stay on top of studying... it’s making me sad that I’m falling behind on yours. I just love yours so much that I don’t want to rush read because each chapters in your stories are important because it’s so detailed that it deserves my full undivided attention. Don’t worry, I’ll catch up soon! And I’ll let you know when I do! Xx

@YouLoveWhoYouLove
I can't wait to hear what you think once you've gotten all caught up. I'm trying really hard to work on the next chapter of ITHOLA. It's been forever and I know and I feel terrible but my brain has been boycotting normal functioning.

@raybansncoffee
Ah yes I saw you started something new!! I’ll give it a read as well once I’ve caught up on this! Can’t wait!! I always love how detailed your chapters are! Looking forward to reading them!

@YouLoveWhoYouLove
You are completely fine but far too sweet. I look forward to hearing what you think when you've gotten caught up this weekend. I'm really trying to get through a new chapter but my brain is struggling. I did start a new Harry series - less structure. My brain is so happy about it. Haha.

@xXFluffy_GruXx
I miss them too. My brain is struggling SO badly on the chapter I'm in. I've at like 4,000 words which would typically be great but it needs to move further along and most of my chapters are like 12k words. I'm trying really hard. I'm hoping that if I get a few of the New York pieces out that my brain will click back into Evie's mind and be able to finish it up. Truly I have a TON of great ideas for it, I just struggle to get them on paper. Perhaps it's because I set this expectation of GIANT chapters with incredible detail and I can't get there.

I’m sorry I’ve been MIA on commenting on this story for a while! I’m planning on catching up on this, this weekend!

I know you are updating the New York one, but... I'm currently hoping you update this one soon. I miss Harry and Evie.

@honeymystic
I'm really hoping I can get it finished soon too. There's so much left to tell but my brain is really struggling and has been for a while. Funny enough it's been able to crank out stuff for the London Calling characters. Maybe it's all this snow I'm surrounded by...makes me nostalgic for London Calling, haha.

Hoping for an update soon

@christianna
Thank you!!! I'm blushing over here with the love everyone has given. :)
