UH HEY, so this was fun, huh? This whole writing a sequel thing and somehow making it longer than the original. Whew. 

First off, I'd just like to say how utterly INSANE the support I've received for both Easy Way Out and this has been. Ya'll motherheckers really made me cry on more than one occasion and even though I'm really mad about that, I'm also so thankful. These two books have pushed me to my limit as a creator and if it wasn't for the constant likes and comments I probably wouldn't have been brave enough to finish it. You guys are the force that keeps me going and I'm so happy you're here. 

With that being said, I'd like to give a couple of reading recommendations/dedications, because I'm feeling sappy!

For recommendations, a big inspiration for me has been -juulp0d; her ability to write like 4374723 stories at a time like it's not the craziest shit I've ever seen is astounding, so check her out, because zoo wee mama. If you're not sure where to start RUBATOSIS is a personal favourite of mine and has made me laugh more times than I can count. 

likeamxnster is another one. Her story Catch-22 was the first Spencer Reid fic I ever read on this site, and is honestly the reason I started writing one in the first place. The way she portrays each character is amazing, especially the way she writes Spencer.  So, if you haven't already go read it and it's sequel and her original fic titled Hit and Sprint.

Lastly, hypathetically. I just recently got into her writing and DAMN. Her story nina cried power! is not only phenomenally written, but so unique and clever that I'm definitely jealous. All the details she inserts into each chapter makes my brain tingle with excitement and every time she posts I basically stop whatever it is I'm doing just to read it. 

I could probably go on and on about everyone and their stories, but I'll leave it at that and move onto dedications, because there's only one. 

reachase-, my cult leader wife. Hi! The reason I'm writing this is because you've literally been with me since the beginning of this mess. That first day you messaged me I was honestly feeling pretty discouraged with the community and thinking about quitting. Your kind words changed my mind and I'm very thankful for that, because I wouldn't have actually got to know you as a person. (You're cool, by the way.)

I'd also like to thank-you for listening to me constantly bitch about how horrible it is be an author. I know you feel my pain, but still, thanks a bunch. 

If you haven't read Anna's writing, DO IT. She works really hard and is full of so many amazing ideas that I constantly wish I had her brain. Her story NO GOOD DEED is 11/10 and makes me laugh and cry and because I was along for the ride when she wrote it I feel weirdly attached to it. She also recently started a story called GOLDEN, which you should definitely read as well!

OKAY. That was a lot. Sorry. I just really needed to get all that shit out so now I can take a 3 week power nap to get my creative juices flowing again.
