The Perfect Storm

Bonus Chapter six

Hi guys!! So because we're almost at 100k of combined reads, I wanted to do something special.

I wanted to tell you guys some interesting facts and something special about The Perfect Storm.

I first started writing TPS when I was thirteen in 2013 but the story was completely different from how it is now, Jacob Wilson was supposed to be the main 'bad boy' and Madison's name was supposed to be either Abigail or Katie and Jacob and Abigail/Katie met at the airport bc Madison was flying to another state to start school in Ohio w her parents but my draft of 10k words just got deleted and I never started over again until in 2019 when I was on my first semester in college and feeling depressed, in between studying for tests and waiting for Halloween, I picked up TPS again and wrote in total of 3-4 different beginnings until I got it right and couldn't stop writing, and the story was completely different from how it was in 2013 and honestly, I like it much more this way  <3 < 3  < 3 <3  <3 

The idea for Madison being a nun and Miles the devil at a Halloween party came to me when my boyfriend was preparing something special for me on Halloween and asked me to wait, I picked up my laptop and thankful the wait ended up being 30 mins, I was so happy and I got to write about my favorite characters and because I was writing TPS while being dressed as a Vampire, the only thing on my mind was Halloween and so I knew that when it would come in TPS, I knew what my characters would be dressed as

I was never going to actually publish TPS because I wasn't sure I wanted to share it with anyone or if anyone would appreciate it and like it the way I do and I just wasn't ready to hear anything negative about something I loved so much but then I realized during a summer vacation with my boyfriend that I needed to post it to Wattpad and now 50k and over reads later from the TPS series, I know my decision was right.

Chrissy is a mixture of a few people I've known over my years of high school, she's someone you'd want as a friend but also not, there's so much in her character that I love and have up together from my mind and the mixture of personalities I've seen in people. she was originally supposed to be Madison's best friend for life but things escalated differently.

My Characters use me to write, not the other way around, I don't write them. I'm a pantser which means I write as it comes to my mind. which is why when even originally when I was writing the first chapter of Madison waking up in Ohio, the main 'bad boy' was still supposed to be Jacob Wilson and it wasn't until after his train scene that I realized someone else was calling to be written about . . . Miles.

My college days were supposed to be spent during homeworld but I was too excited about the characters and the world they had to show me and I was addicted to showing you guys too. When I had some time in between classes I picked up my laptop and opened up the word document and just started typing away and I couldn't stop and I still can't, I love this story and I always will love it. 

I'll hopefully be updating this chapter again, but until then thank you guys so much for reading through this and caring enough :) <3 <3 <3
