Screw the rest of my saved list! (please don't tell my friends I will read their stuff too, eventually 😭)

I really enjoyed this prologue a lot. I love origin stories as well! And the story in general sounds like the exact kind of adventure I've been missing lately! Looking forward to what's next 😁

Haha, I promise not to tell a soul. I am delighted you have taken a chance to read it. The prologue is very stage setting, but chapter 1 is where the emotions start. I have already been told off for making people cry in that chapter, so I apologise in advance. 😅😂

I am mad at myself for not reading this sooner! But also relieved you already have plenty of chapters for me to binge

Oh yay! I'm so excited that you have started. 😁

A nice start to an intriguing world.

Thank you. I definitely hope to bring something a bit fun and different to the table with this serial. I'm always curious what grabs people with it, if at all, so I can improve it over time. What drew you to it?

This is phenomenal & your voice makes it beautiful. 💝

Phew, I'm glad to hear that. You know that phenomenon where we all cringe at the sounds of our own voice recorded? Haha, I listen to it and wonder how anyone would want to hear a whole story like that. But I have to try and remove my own ego. Hopefully my British accent helps it along xD

Oh I do understand that....I am doing a podcast this month, & I cringe hearing me speak. Your voice. Delightful. Keep it up. 💝

Ooh that is exciting, when can we expect it to drop?

I will be on Mina Howell's podcast tomorrow. The Penny Dreadful. I am hosting a writing event & we are chatting about the stories.

Graeme Brandham's avatar

Oh super exciting, I'll tune in as soon as I can. 😁 Best of luck with it. I'm sure it'll be well received, and I can't wait to hear more about this writing event.

Thank you. Week one has been a success, that will be our chat. All the amazing writers.

"That moment of awakening—a mix of terror at the separation from the world and wonder at a new connection to the cosmos—is a central theme in my story." What a lovely summary of a fantastic read! This feels like such a vivid, colourful, beautiful world. I'm excited to read more!

I am delighted you got a kick out of it! I will hopefully load up some more soon. In amongst the other lil bits I hope to share. 😊 Also congrats on 100 subs!
