Back and Forth is LIVE!
Back and Forth
Good morning!
Back and Forth is finally Live!
And now, for a long ode to this journey that you absolutely did not ask for, but I'm doing it anyway because this is HUGE, and it's more of a way to document this moment for me.
Writing has been such a cornerstone in my life for as long as I can remember. I've always been an introvert--super shy--I hid what I loved most: writing. Whether it was horribly weird diary entries, to Harry Potter Fan Fiction (and I promise you, you cannot find it because Quizilla is dead). So, instead, I turned to my second love. And I bet you can guess what that is.
I devoured books whenever I had the chance. I hid under my covers with a flashlight reading the Mary-Kate and Ashley books, my dad would come into my room, shut off my light, and tell me to go to bed. Little did he know, as soon as I heard his door close, I'd flick the light right back on and go to bed at some ungodly hour with the biggest book hangover for school the next day.
But then, High School came around and I couldn't be less interested in science or math. The spiral notebooks that were bought to write proofs and punnett squares, suddenly became the bindings of my earliest stories. *Epic* (for a teenager) love stories that thrived on angst and stupid fights.
Back and Forth is my baby. It was the story that nagged me for years. It was the book who screamed at me to write, to see the light of day. I wrote the damn thing. 97k words. And then I lost the entire freakin' manuscript. So I wrote it again. All 97k words. All the pain, love, tears, anguish are in these pages, my literal tears sewn in. Because let's face it, you'd cry too if you lost your entire effing manuscript!
And so now, I share them with you. Brandon and Ava, my besties for the restie, the pieces of my heart and soul that I never planned on sharing with anyone else. I hope you enjoy it!
