AUTHOR'S NOTE

Hi! This is my first time writing a book and I hope all goes well.

First off, thankyouthankyouthankyou for picking up my story and if you're taking the time to read this pre-story chapter. As I've already mentioned, this is my first book, so I'm not exactly bursting with skill and confidence, but I hope I'll improve as the story progresses.

I'm trying my best to keep the chapter length consistent, so the word count will be around 700 to 1000 words per chapter.

Writers' block is awful, and pretty much inevitable. It creeps up on you like an unwanted mosquito you want to slap to death. If I ever get stuck and need a break, I will mention it.

Because I personally love and hate clichés, there will be some in here, but not too much of it. If, highlight IF, a romance element is added, it will be much later in the story.

Hugs to the people who are giving this story a chance. I will take any honest (painful) commentary or suggestions, but if you're just here to nitpick every flaw, GET OUT. Nobody and no story is perfect, and I will grow along with my story (I'm sorry, that sounded a tad dramatic).

*Now, visualize curtains parting, drum rolls, and a spotlight center stage.*

Let the journey begin.
