Hey guys! I’ve been
trying to think of what to post next on here from the past couple of days now
but I couldn’t think of anything until the reviews caught my attention (while
reviewing some details that I’ve written—to double check if I missed anything)
and again, I get all goofy and grinning like an idiot reading all your responses
from the past chapters. I'm totally dumbstruck of how you have followed and
went crazy about the story, and especially the OCs I've created to include in
Strong Steele. Reading back from the first chapter... I can't believe that I
have already written 50 chapters with over 190K words. Wow. It’s so not me! lol
I’ve never been fond of writing before SS and this being my first time… I was floored
by the warm responses I’ve gotten on that day I’ve posted Chapter 1. And
everything just kept coming, flowing into my head. It just felt so… right. The
number of reviews? OUT OF THIS WORLD. 5K plus? Strong Steele being labeled as a “Cheat
Story”/ most hated stories of some die-hard fans, just proves that at the end
of the day, whether it’s a cheat story or not, it’s the readers who will decide
what they will read and review.
I know my story is
so far from perfect. But reading all your reviews again, it’s overwhelming to
know that I have provoked such reactions from you – from positive to negative –
including those people who have shared their own experiences related to Ana’s
marriage and life as a single mother. Also how some readers go back and forth rooting for one guy then the other. You make me sound like an experienced
author, who had somehow captured your heart and soul by reading the story. It’s
like looking at myself, fangirling after finishing a book from a favorite
author of mine. I’m an avid reader and a very picky one, that if I find the
first page of the story isn’t good or interesting, I would move on to the next
one really fast. So I’ve tried my best to write something that I would totally
read.
I’ve read also
those PMs, some were pretty long, and I just… I don’t even have the words to
describe how I have truly felt when I learned that SS had that huge (positive)
effect to some readers. I know this is getting longer, but I really want to
express how I feel about all of this, Fanfiction related. It would be easier to
put up a video to say everything I want to say but I’m kinda shy and I don’t
really wanna scare you guys since I’m still in my PJs (hey it’s Saturday/lazy
day) and I look like one of those zombies on The Walking Dead.
I’m pretty excited
to share what’s going to happen next and I sure do hope you’ll enjoy the rest
of the ride. If you have questions, feel free to send me a PM on Fanfiction, I
will apologize now for the late replies, and for the awesome Guests reviewers,
send me an email (maybe?) or KIK! I’m new on that. You guys rock. Reading your
reviews all over again (and the thousands of views around the world) makes me
so proud of this story and of all of the readers who have become a part of
Strong Steele.
THANK YOU!

PS. Won’t be long
before I post the next chapter… Kinda building up for something that the others
might not be comfortable reading xx
