Birthright Down

It is with a very heavy heart that I have made the decision to take Birthright down from Wattpad. I know there are people out there who love the story, and I hate that they won't be able to read it till the end. It's not much fun to like something and find yourself unable to finish it because of circumstances outside your control, and I'm sorry that I have caused anyone such disappointment.

Birthright was my first born. And yes, I do realize how weird it is to treat a story like an offspring (and my friends have teased me enough because of it), but I have great affection and attachment to it. Birthright is where I learned to truly write, to develop a world bigger than mine and to play around with these things called settings and dialogues and plots. It's where I discovered the things I'm capable of and the things I need to improve. It's also where I learned to love my characters and breathe life into them.

So I owe a lot to Birthright. And I owe a lot to the readers who enjoyed something so dear to me.

Unfortunately, there are tough decisions I must make as a writer, and this is one of them. Birthright is set in the same world as Conduit, and it's not in my best interest to continue to build this world when it hasn't even been explored in Conduit. Perhaps someday in the future I will pick up the project again and polish it up to the amazing book that I know it will become. But for now, I'm forced to remove it from Wattpad.

So for those of you who read this story, thank you for giving it a chance.

  1. awww that's too bad :c I mean, I love your stories, and i've only recently read Birthright. It's as wonderful as COnduit, and though i'm sad to know that i won't be able to know the ending, I understand your desicion, as those who are true fans of your work should. My best of wishes to you.

  2. Birthright was an excellent book, at least from what I read of it. I hope you do write it again someday. Is Conduit's world going to be part of a long series?

    1. I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for giving it a chance! Conduit, as far as I have planned at this moment, will be a trilogy. :)

  3. I've also read Birthright recently, and I have to say it was amazing! I'm terribly disappointed that it has been put on hold. I've also read Conduit, and I have a few questions:
    Will Birthright be part of the Conduit trilogy? And will this trilogy be available on Wattpad? Finally, if you do decide to return to Birthright, will it be available on Wattpad?

    1. Thanks! Birthright won't be part of Conduit and the trilogy won't be available on Wattpad if it's published. As for Birthright, I honestly can't say at the moment. I hope to have it available someday in some form!
