Let me start with - REALLY?
Is it over already?
Or let's say.. FINALLY! Is it over afterall!
😆😆
For those of you who I haven't talked to personally, '50PM' was my first ever piece of writing.
**********
My journey through 50PM-
Back in 2017 when I checked various platforms for a fictional book with a story my mind wanted to read, I couldn't find a single one. The search went on for months - but nothing.
Then I came across wattpad and realised that it's quite a big platform. I thought I'll definitely find one here. And I did - Heaven in Hell.
@topper93 had published first 4-5 chapters and the book was on halt. Upon discussing with the reader, I realised that it will take some time before the book continues.
Moreover, being the awesome person, @topper93 encouraged me to write what I want to read.
The idea sounded stupid to me.
Me? Writer? Come on!
But then I wrote.
For myself
Jane going and talking face to face with Killer and convincing him to stop wasting time - this is all I had thought when I started.
If you read the initial chapters, you'll find that my grammar is poor, sentences are barely interesting and everything is hurried up. That's because I wrote it just for myself.
Soon Bunny0020 found my book and reached out to me, asking me to continue.
By then 'Heaven in Hell' kick started from the beginning and the writer was very helpful to me to continue my own.
That was the day I decided that I'll write more.
I kept writing and publishing whatever came to my mind.
Trust me - must of the scenes that you guys like - I saw them in my dreams and typed them down as soon as I woke up 😂.
It's been funny and crazy three years of imagining, laughing, typing and publishing. I thought there's no end to it. And there really wasn't.
The high pitched sceam came out of me when Kadner's and James' past got connected. Me and @topper93 didn't sleep for nights straight because our minds were all time rolling! We were like those teen girls who somehow got contact number of Damon Salvatore and he replied back.
That crazy!
But I realised that what has been started, had to be stopped for better ideas to strike.
So it took another five - six months to plan the ending.
And here we stand - with a complete 113 chaptered book in our hands.
***********
Now, the readers -
You guys!
I don't know where to start.
You have been involved equally in the book as much as I was.
Wills, Nick, James and Ethan stole so many of your hearts! And Ren? Let me not even start, she's a bomb!
- that's what you guys told me.
Holy hell I didn't even know my kids will get so much love from you people.
You guys adored them all and, I think, most of you wanted me to never stop this book.
So for all you loving readers, here's a good news - I'll definitely continue this book with the same characters, may be a few more, but we'll pick up where we left.
(It might take a few years for that, but we will.)
To those biting your nails, peeping doors and windows to know Flynn's secrets, you guys need to wait a little more.
I haven't yet started working on his story, but I can assure it is on its way.
Readers messaging me about the minor and major technical faults - you guys are amazing!
I mean, I could never find a mistake that you did by connecting links between 50PM and 'Wills Past. Wills Words.'
How do you do that!!!
It's been hell of a journey with you guys and I absolutely loved it!
When I read my first chap - I said 'What shit is this? What is Jane even thinking? Why is Wills such an ass? Never mind, who's gonna read?'
But when I read the Epilogue, one thought crossed my mind and filled my heart with joy -
They say some wishes come true. May be not on the same day, but they do. Wills wished for a family. He got it fulfilled - in parts, though, but he almost did.
So from 'what shit' to 'wish came true' - I've evolved.
Excuse me, I need to get some tissues.
***********
Some bitter words-
As much as you were, I was excited to publish a new chapter everytime to know your response, to see the number of votes, to check out the comments.
As a reader, I'll never like what's written above. Let me clarify.
A chef cooks a dish and keeps it in front of someone. He waits there to see the response. The person about to eat it might not like it. But if you can feel the curiosity and excitement of the Chef waiting to see the unfiltered response, you'll understand what a writer means when he/she says 'please don't be a hidden/silent reader. Please vote and comment.'
There are lot of similarities -
* eating the whole dish and leaving without saying a word - That's a silent reader.
* saying 'I finished the dish, here's your payment.' - that's a vote.
*saying 'The amount of salt was just perfect and that ginger was chopped just fine. Try to add a little more pepper and less salt next time, and I'll order twice' - that's a comment.
*saying 'cook it again. I want more.' without telling whether the first one was good or bad - that's 'When will you update next' comment.
*saying 'Fine, your menu says that it's a vegetarian dish, but I want you to add lamb and pork in this the next time.' - that's equal to readers adding this book to reading lists named BDSM/Dom/Caning/Spanking/Sub and all other sorts.
I came across these five scenarios in this book and pointed them out a few times. You guys have been patient and mature enough to understand that and act accordingly.
I just want you to do this to every writer you're reading stories of. It takes so much to write a 2k word chapter.
When the chap shows 115 reads, 35 comments, and 15 comments - one feels bad. It's not that you're literally paying to tell someone that he/she is doing a good job, or that he needs improvement.
Don't be a silent reader - that's all I'm saying too.
*********
Last but most exciting!
'Barbed Lives' has hit the floor with its prologue and your response has made my heart burst in joy!
Gosh there's not a single comment that doesn't say 'I'm so excited!'
Hell I'm so excited too, love!
Parts of that book have been written and I'm planning to patiently complete the rest so that you'll fall in love with him as much as I did writing it!
(Don't ask who's him. I'm not going to tell. And those who know... Shushhhhh!)
The book can be read as a stand alone. So if you have a friend that is not into 'hard core training' or didn't like 50PM, but likes military stuff, do suggest him /her my new book.
Since few characters in this book are same as 50PM, there will be a few hidden references that you'll actually read and jump off your chair!
I swear, trust me!
Now that I have your nerves popping, I expect you to like my man and comment shamelessly when he makes an appearance. 😜
****************
TO FINISH WITH -
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CARED TO WAIT FOR MY NOTE AND STILL ARE READING THESE LAST WORDS OF 'FIFTY PUSHUPS MISS'.
DAMN, YOU GUYS! ❤️😂
