So this is basically what I call the "Housekeeping" chapter, where I wrap up the final details of the story and get everyone situated.
1) Watty's 2014
-So I read the guidelines wrong, which absolutely sucks. For the People's Choice Awards for this year's Wattys, it's the most shared and retweeted book between the dates of Oct. 15th and Nov. 15th. And Nov. 15th is tomorrow. So unless we pull off some kind of miracle, I don't know how we're going to get My Brother's Best Friend in the running for that... And that really breaks my heart because I just spent this entire week busting my ass to finish the book by Nov. 15th. But I posted a picture of a sample tweet anyways. That's from my Twitter account, I've been tweeting sporadically voting for MBBF for the People's Choice Awards.
2) Sequel
-So yes, there will be a sequel, sort of. *holds hands over ears while everyone screams* It's going to be a spin-off about Lee. It'll take place during the following school year, so while Lee is a Junior in high school and Parker is a Freshman in college. It's called "Jefferson Lake", and I think you guys are going to like it. I will post the new story on Nov. 20th, so be sure to look out for that. But you can start emailing me covers/banners now!
3) Epilogue
-So for those of you uninterested in Lee's spin-off, or you just want to know how Parkily's story ends, yes there will also be an Epilogue to this story. It wouldn't be fair for me to come all this way just to walk away at the end. The Epilogue will be posted either late tonight or early tomorrow, but probably early tomorrow because I haven't written it yet and I have done a TON of writing lately to get this story finished on time, so I'm probably just going to take the day to breathe. But keep your eyes open for that as well.
4) Review of MBBF
-So this was a review submitted by an anonymous source and I just wanted to share it with you guys.
"This is a story in which the main character has a eating disorder something I am also struggling with. She feels she has to be skinny to be perfect and she has come back from rehab and relapses but she still beats it with the help of her brother and her brothers best friend Parker. I can relate to Emily in the beginning of the story in many ways. I feel like I don't need help and that no one will care until I'm perfect. That everyone's there to criticize you and point out your flaws.
This story helped me understand that you are fine just the way you are. Also it helped me realize that it's ok to need help, someone to balance you out and keep the bad things away when you can't. And lastly that the best road may be the hardest road to follow to make things better."
If you have any more questions you'd like for me to answer, please comment them below and I'd be happy to. I won't be answering questions like "What happens to..." because I haven't even written the Epilogue yet, and so I'm not ready to think about it yet. But if you have any general questions about the story itself, feel free to comment them.
