QUEEN

Don't get too excited just yet. A couple things I need to clear up before I start republishing, because a lot of people don't read author's notes and end up asking dumb questions.

This book has been down for over a year now, a lot of you kept pointing that out, I know, I'm the one that took it down. It took me next to three years to write this shit, I can take the same amount of time to edit it if I want to because if it's not executed right, it's gonna drive me crazy.

And I don't know if y'all thought I was just gonna take it down and have it up in two months- no, that's not how it works. There's a ton of shit I wanted to change about this book, but the original was too special to me as cringy as it is.

So in my time "editing", I started to completely rewrite the whole thing, and I didn't want to do that. So I ended up starting a rewritten version. Basically, I have two versions of the book now. This one, and another that you guys probably aren't gonna see in a long time, or at all.

I'm still not done with this, because I have plans. Plans that I'm not gonna spell out for you guys, you'll figure it out if you read my other book, 'Forbidden Attraction'. I want some shit to sync, so when I do start updating this, it's going to be slow. Probably one chapter a week or something. Probably.

Most prominent thing you should look forward to: Changes.

There will be slight changes. Not too major, but they're there. If you're reading and go, "I don't remember seeing this", it most likely wasn't there before, so don't panic or anything. And you guys don't need to point out every changed detail. Unless you wanna be annoying and want me to block you, then go ahead.

Keep in mind, this is still a draft!

I know it's been down for a while, but that doesn't mean I was spending every waking hour on this story. I have other projects that I have to work on and ones you guys don't even know about. There are still gonna be some cringe-worthy scenes, because I didn't change much than in the beginning, there are going to be errors. It's not perfect guys. Copy editing doesn't equal perfection. You surely aim for it, but it's not guaranteed. I've read publish books that are amazing but still have grammatical and spelling errors. That goes out to all my aspiring authors--you don't have to be perfect, just know what you want. You can worry about perfection when you're ready to actually publish, and even then you're gonna go through a lot of drafts.

And this is my second. I chose to leave all the cringe-worthy scenes because my day-one readers would want that. If I finally decide to publish this mess one day, it's gonna be an entire different spin, believe me.

With that down, I am not publishing right now but...

Ground rules.

There's a bunch a niggas in here. Yep. If you don't like the word, do not read this. It's in every other line. ...It's not, but it's in here a lot.

This book was written for a plus-sized audience. I'm not gonna sit here and lie to y'all. When I wrote this, I didn't write it for everyone, tf. Sure, it's on a public platform, but I wasn't thinking about average or under average "size" chicks. So if you know you're insecure, and you know you're sensitive and you're going to get in your feelings, DO NOT READ THIS. Because I'm not apologizing. I never have before and I'm not going to now. A lot more sensitive ass people are gonna start reading this as time goes on and I'm gonna get the 'body bashing' comments again, but you can't say I didn't warn y'all this time. And anybody who didn't read this and walked into this blindly, is going to get hit by something heavy (see what I did there) and I'm not gonna give a fuck.

Another thing... this is not a book about race. Diverse it is. But race is not the main factor and reason for this. It's to encourage self-love and appreciation. Any one of you fuckers wanna take something positive and turn it into the opposite, just know that I am not the problem. And my story is not the problem...

That's all I have to say about that.

I have a shitload of other stuff to say, but they're not coming up right now. So I'm just gonna close with this...

I'm still not giving y'all a date for when I'm publishing this. Just know it'll be soon.

Still, not done editing, but I have plans, and I'm tryna make them happen the way I want them to. Not y'all, me. Sorry, but I gave my readers everything they wanted when I first started writing this and it was total shit and the reason why it's been down for over a year now. I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just gonna keep working at my own pace.

I hope you guys read this a couple times and let the terms and conditions sink in by time the first chapter rolls in, because I am not entertaining fuckery.

Until then... keep embracing your royalty.

Xoxo...
