alright, please don't get angry or pissed off about the ending before i get my chance to explain it since it's so sudden and leaves on a 'really? that's how this book ends?' type of mood.
this chapter is going to be about questions you guys have asked me that i never gotten to or general ones about the book entirely.
Out of every ending you could've chosen, why the hell did you end it like that?
Well the main reason is because my goal for this book was for it to be different than a lot of others. Though it was cliché at certain times with stuff, there were moments where I wrote a part and I thought 'Oh I never seen that in another book' and I hope you all saw it too.
Of course, I wanted a love story about my favorite ship (at the time) but I didn't want to be influenced by other books with the storyline they had so I tried to create a whole different other one without for example, Sasha bumping into Finn and thinking he was a wall or anything of such nature.
And I didn't want them to randomly meet and fall in love so quickly. I know I could've taken more time to develop their feelings for each other in the beginning and I wished I did. Cause' some writers (not calling anyone out so don't assume im talking about you) think it's cute to make them fall in love right when they meet.
Yes, there's a concept of falling in love at first sight but they take that totally out of context.
But anyways back to the question, I wanted the ending to be different cause a long time ago, I was reading an article on writing tips and some things you can do to make your writing different than others. I stumbled upon a tip where it said there aren't always good endings or endings where all the questions are answered.
Now like I said, my main goal for this book was for it to be different and I think I somewhat achieved that with this ending cause you don't exactly know what happens next. There are many questions left unanswered in the ending and there are many ways it can pan out so yeah.
Sorry if you weren't satisfied with the ending of it but always try to predict the unpredictable.
What was something you hated about this book?
Due to my lack of updating on time, I changed the storyline completely. Originally, the story was supposed to be in NXT times and stay there but that changed during the draft. I thought it would be a 'great' idea to make them go two years without seeing each other after they broke up when that wasn't supposed to happen.
If I could've kept the same story I originally had planned out for this, I probably would've been more satisfied with the book.
Out of all WWE ships in the world, why was Shálor your favorite?
Back when I started to like Sasha Banks, it was about 2014-15 and I was new to Wattpad and whatever. So when I searched up Sasha Banks books on here, the first one that came up was Shálor one so I ended up reading it since there weren't many other Sasha books.
Then I just started loving the ship a lot and later in that year, numerous Shálor books just started coming out and I guess I decided to hop on that train as well. At first, I didn't actually take it seriously and I only wanted to see if people would read it and people did.
And I could say that I never expected this many people to read my book and to flood it with amazing comments.
I'm grateful for all of you that have read one or all of the chapter of this cause' I means a lot to me.
Shálor is a very unpopular and underrated ship or at least it was when I first started liking it. It's a rarity to see people ship Sasha with Finn since they ship her with Roman, Seth, Dean, and nowadays I've seen her with Baron a lot for some reason. And the people ship Finn with Becky, Bayley, and some others.
But everyone has their own opinion on ships and I guess I fell into the category of one of the many people who like Shálor.
Was Sasha considered an alcoholic?
Ok, whenever I saw anyone say that she was an alcoholic in my book, I wanted to rip my eyes out of my sockets and shout at them because she most definitely WAS NOT an alcoholic. Now I'm going to give you a quick vocabulary lesson for those who thought and commented that she was.
An alcoholic is someone who suffers from alcoholism. Alcoholism is a chronic disease characterized by uncontrolled drinking and preoccupation with alcohol or more simply, continued excessive or compulsive use of alcoholic drinks.
I don't think I put Sasha at a bar more than two or three times for her to be an alcoholic. She DID NOT drink excessively nor had a uncontrollable compulsion of wanting to drink alcoholic beverages. She just had a tendency of drinking a little bit too much when she was around it due to STRESS.
I know I didn't exactly state that she was stressed out or anything like that but that's when you have to read between the lines or make assumptions and inferences.
Because the two times she drank was first, she was dealing with wrestling which is stressful enough; putting her body on the line every night for entertainment purposes and because she loves it. And the second time, again wrestling and because even though two years or how ever many years past by, she was still upset about the breakup with Finn.
So no, in my eyes, she was not an alcoholic. She didn't drink every night and had the urge to go out and drink the whole damn bar, ok? If you think so, so be it but I'm just saying facts.
There was smut promised. What ever happened to that?
At first, yes there was supposed to be smut but I was like no thank you cause' one, I didn't want it to be cringy or uncomfortable like most of smut chapters are and two, I wanted to end the book and if I had added five more chapters to add smut, it would've wasted you and I's time and I wasn't trying to do that.
Why aren't you as interested in WWE as you were before?
MAIN REASON: SASHA BANKS LOST THE TITLE AGAIN WITHOUT EVEN HAVING A LONG REIGN WITH IT. SO GOODBYE WWE ✌🏼✌🏼.
updated 11/2018: ive started liking it once again, but the poor storylines and booking are making me reconsider my love for it again. the iiconics, tm61, toni storm, and practically every other australian wrestler are really the only reason i watch it bc they're entertaining (sasha and finn are too, but they've fallen in the category of being badly booked).
Now the big question, are you writing a sequel?
I answered this as well but I guess now I have to be certain about it. So the answer is no or at least, for now. I will not write a sequel and not because I'm not interested in WWE or anything of that nature, I'm just not a fan of sequels.
Cause' 1) I might never update the book cause I'll probably forget. And 2) Like I said before, sequels (to me) are like boring add-ons to amazing books. Sequels would have to top the main book to be amazing. But that's just my opinion and again, if you have a sequel for a book of yours don't get offend, it's not toward you.
But I understand sequels are for unanswered questions to be answered and it would be perfect for this but my fear is that I would make a horrible sequel and I don't have an idea for a storyline for it so the option for a sequel is out of the window.
so thank you so much to all of you. i can't explain how happy I am that this book reached a huge number and thank you isn't enough but that's all i could do. i love all of you and it does mean a lot to me. im sorry if you hated the ending but things don't always go in a certain way.
but like I said, i might write other books so don't stay lacking and look out for my (maybe) wwe comeback. this isn't the end for me so stay up.
