Between my three stories Just My Luck, Taking His Hand and The Brightest Star we have reached 500 subscribers!!! Thank you all so much for helping me reach my goals! (Taking His Hand has been removed)

This is a huge step in my writing! One step closer to my dream of becoming full time in the future and being able to live and support my two kids off just my writing. 

I have more stories that I plan on post once these three (Two) are done and I do have plans on promoting some of my stories to tapas in the future as well as using the money I get from my ink points to upgrade covers, thumbnails and banners once I find someone at a good price and get these characters to come to live as well! Ugh! I have a lot of plans for you all and for my books once they are done. 

And none of this would be possible without all of you! You have given me the confidence and support I desperately needed to keep going every day and every chapter. 

I feel like I’m not good enough as a person, always failing, nothing good happens to me and I always make the wrong decisions. I lost myself a long time ago and in a dark place but you make me feel like my characters are good enough and that’s all that matters to me.  

You really do make a difference in all us creators' lives. I mean if not for you this wouldn’t be possible. Our dreams would never be reached. So don’t ever let someone tell you that you don’t matter because you do. You matter to me! And from the bottom of my heart I thank you for just being you and reading my stories. For showing me that I can do this, that my hard work isn’t for nothing! For showing all those people who didn’t believe in me that they were wrong to do so, and to shut up the people who hoped I would fail at my own dreams as an LGBTQ writer. Because of you I have the confidence to fight back and take control of my life again. 

Yeah 500 may not be a lot compared to some on here but it’s a lot more than I ever dreamed I would get! I love you all so much! Thank you so much! I’m honestly about to cry! 

You are all my handsome and beautiful penguins! I’m squeezing you all in a huge hug right now!! Thank you for believing in me when no one else did! 

<3<3<3<3<3 So much love to you all!! Kody!!! 

Don’t forget you can support my work by sending me ink points! Get free ink points by watching ads or buy some in the ink store!!! Every drop counts big or small!! Once a goal is reached I'll give a big shout out to everyone who helped reach it and an extra chapter will be posted in the next update.
