Just wanted to keep you guys updated with what's going on. I haven't had a lot of time to write or even sign on Wattpad due to school, so I just wanted to let you guys know what's going on with this book.
Basically, I completely rewrote this book. Over the past few years I realized this plot was a bit cliche (A girl is raped and the climax is her telling someone about it) and unrealistic (she's eighteen; she can leave if she wants) so here are the changes:
Emma's new name is Alex: Her personality never fit Emma; i just needed a name. I mean, no offense to any Emmas out there, but Alex is a total dudechick (kind of like me - action movies, hates romance stuff... hard rocker)... to me, Emma just didn't fit any of that, so I named it after one of my friends (he's exactly like me... weird.)
Their ages have changed dramatically... Aiden's 25, Alex's 22... I don't know if it's YA now or not but I honestly don't care... it's more about their backstory too so it might still fit in that category.
It takes place 4 years after everyone found out about what Jeremy did to her (again with the cliche thing)
She's not with Aiden... he wants her, but because of Jeremy, she's holding back.
There's a sense of forgiveness toward the end. She doesn't want Jeremy in control anymore, and in order for her to fully move on, she has to forgive him.
There's a whole new element of why Aiden's pissed that Jeremy raped her... Kind of sad really...
There are many more changes, but these are the main points. Hopefully I'll have a chance to post this.
Thanks guys :)
