Originally posted by SeAngel76I am sorry to hear of your loss. I have followed your story over the years and have enjoyed it immensely. Including the prequel to it! You are exceptionally talented and driven. So I am sure even in your loss, you will be able to deal with any issues or hurdles with courage and dignity. I hope you receive all the needed strength from a Higher power, your support system and most of all yourself. Also remember, that your father will always live in your thoughts, your actions, your feelings and most of all your heart. And he will always watch over you looking down at you and being proud of all that you will achieve.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to suggest (and you definitely don't need to take it) but please consider posting your story on WattPad. There are many opportunities to be noticed and be published. Along with interacting with other prolific and wonderful authors like yourself. I believe that your work is of that caliber. I hope that I will get to see you on there as well.
Take care of yourself and I hope all is we with you and your family in this time of sadness.

Thank you so much for coming out and showering me with your kind words. I wish I could have the courage and dignity to deal with this irreparable loss, as you believe I have.
As for your suggestion about Wattpad, I've been suggested that earlier to but I wasn't sure. Thank you for believing my writing deserves recognition. I will surely consider your advice. :)
Reply posted by SeAngel76 May 31, 2017First of all, I was so happy to see an update. But what made me absolutely ecstatic was tor receive a response from you! Thank you. I stand by my compliments as they are honest. As for my condolences, I think that you are stronger and more courageous and you may not give yourself that credit. I don't know you, but if you can write in this fashion, can feel the emotional turmoil of both your protagonists at varying times, can show the struggles and hurdles of your supporting characters and can finish that off with a wondrous imagination, amazing creativity and out of this world writing skills, you are extremely talented and have a high emotional quotient. At least in my books!
Also, writing will help and don't mean for your book but writing that involves you and your private thoughts. Pen to paper or nowadays computer or mobile device to screen can help in many ways. So don't disregard something that may help in the healing process.
As for Wattpad, it can wait! However, I am being selfish and would love for you to be discovered amongst editors and small time publishers, realize the opportunities you have for self publishing and garner some recognition for a writer who passes the muster. There are so many ill written books everywhere in cyberspace that get votes and views. I hate when like you and another writer (author of Searing and Rescuing Heaven) are still hidden gems and treasures. There are many competitions and contests on-going on Wattpad right now, and I know you could blow them all out of the water in either the Chick-Lit, Romance or Fanfiction genre! It might take time to get a following but with the help of inviting friends, Facebook postings and Twitter followings, you could do it. And I would like to help as well. Anyways, no pressure, think about it...
I have yet to read your update which I will embark on now! Take care of yourself. And write for you! Keep those flames of innovation burning! Thank you for taking the time to share your plots and characters with us...
PS: I hope posting my reply in this fashion works. I am still a newbie at this. So my apologies in advance...
