Okay, so you might be wondering what's been happening in my life, more than 2 years on.
Well for starters, one by one, all the JC boys moved in with me. We got an extension built out the back of the house last year, with three bedrooms, a bathroom and a little studio for solo practising. The spare room upstairs got converted into my office.
You might be thinking "Office? For what?" Well, that's an excellent question.
So just after that last chapter back there took place, I sent in a manuscript, along with illustrations, of a children's book I'd written to a publisher. They loved it, and before long, Victoria Young was a name on the front of over 10 kids' picture books. It wasn't that hard, actually. You just need an original idea and know a bit about how kids' minds work. The drawings aren't difficult, because pictures in kids' books aren't supposed to look good.
Len and I are still going strong. Almost 3 years now! And I love him more than ever. The other boys have been hinting about Len proposing lately, but I think they're just teasing. John's told me that Len really wants to be with me for the rest of his life, so at least I don't need to worry about him not wanting me. Also, Len's been trying to book a European holiday for us for a while so... hopefully...!
Anyway, so I suppose if I had to sum it all up, I'd say that my life is the best it's ever been. Living with the best friends in the world and my champion boyfriend? Every day an adventure, always something new to see and experience? Yep, best in the history of the earth. My love for these guys is bigger than words, and I can't believe that all this has happened within the last 3 years. It seems strange that 3 years ago, I was just an everyday fanigirl...
So, like I said, I've written a few kids' books. But then I decided to try and write teen. I had no ideas, but then I realised that my own story was a teen fantasy, and what girl wouldn't love a story like mine? I wanted girls to know that miracles do happen, dreams do come true. So I wrote about my adventures with Justice Crew, but I was too nervous to send it out to my publisher, too scared to leave my comfort zone of children's books. The solution seemed to put it somewhere without professional opinion and critisism, like Wattpad.
So I did, and that's what you've just finished reading.
