One Year Anniversary · 10:33pm Apr 4th, 2016
Wow.
Just, wow.
I can't believe it’s been this long since I started all of this. On today’s date, exactly one year ago, I posted up the first chapters of ‘The Games We are Forced to Play’ on the site and so much has happened since that day. Who would have thought that I would have written this much in just one year? I was so nervous posting up those beginning chapters that I was actually hoping that the whole thing would just be a low key thing and wouldn’t garner that much attention. I wanted this to just maybe get a few glances by passersby and then move on so I wouldn’t be too embarrassed about it.
I never would have expected it to grow this much and gain this much attention from all of you who decided to give me a chance. Its heartwarming and embarrassing at the same time seeing all the comments, the likes, the views, and the eagerness of people wanting to see more of what I have to offer. But the most valued thing to me is the interaction with everyone; talking with others in the comments and becoming friends with them has really been a big help to me. Even when I was having a bad day, it seemed like I could always come back to here and find someone appreciate my hard effort.
I always have so many ideas in my head that I want to try out or tell others, but I’m usually too afraid to share them for being seen as crazy or weird. Most of them I would let die off in the deepest, darkest depths of my mind, but I’m glad I didn’t let this one go to waste. This has definitely been a life changer and I don’t regret going through with it.
I’m still working on the next chapter, but it will be a while before it comes out. This next chapter can be our little anniversary gift to myself and you guys. Thanks everyone for your support and enthusiasm.
I hope to talk to you all soon and I will see you all in the next chapter.
Wow... Now I feel old... Where's the year gone? 0.o
3848451 I know, right? I'm almost done with my first year of college here and half way done with my degree, I've gotten an ASE certification done, I've almost written over two hundred thousand words, and I still have a lot more to do! I hope to see you again for the next chapter when it's done!
