Chapter 79 AUTHOR'S FAREWELL
Hi everybody. In light of the last chapter dropping tomorrow, I have so much that I want to say to you all before we wrap it up here.
I never imagined when I published the first chapter, it would get the response it’s gotten. I was shocked when so many of you responded when I confided in the notes about feeling like a failure as a writer. At 23, the world can seem so full of possibilities, and all of them unreachable. You all have been so kind, so encouraging, and I’m truly so grateful. Thank you so much for reading. You really didn’t have to, and you still did, and I’m so happy that you came along for the ride.
I’ve really been struggling with the knowledge that this thing is ending, even though I know full well that I’ve taken this story as far as it’s meant to go, at least in this chapter of the characters’ lives. However, it also allowed me to rediscover my passion for writing, and I’m so grateful. I am once again writing a few new works and prepping for submissions to more platforms as many of you guys have kindly suggested I should do. During the time I've been working on SIR, I've also completed the first and second drafts of a new novel, and I have completed 30k+ words of another first draft. So thank you. You guys have gotten me through it all. The best part of my day is refreshing GoodNovel and Dreame and reading all the comments, especially because it allows me to interact with you guys.
That being said.
Writing this story was so gratifying, brought me so much joy, that I’m also not ready to leave that behind. So I am thrilled to announce my new story, “SUBMISSION 101,” a Professor/Student romance which dropped on November 26th on GoodNovel and Dreame. It has about 10 times more smut than this book tho, so reader's discretion is strongly advised!
Once again, thank you for reading, commenting, gifting and leaving gems!
This was a really, really, stupid story that I wrote because I’ve always loved reading Boss/Employee love stories. That’s really fucking dumb, I know. And I can laugh about how silly it is, and I can take it not too seriously. But you guys have been so responsive to it, and that’s not silly to me at all.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Well, GoodNovel won't let me post a draft that's less than 500 words so this is me yapping some more so I can post the damn thing and get on with writing the final chapter!
(Feel free to skip to the next chapter from here cause I have nothing else important to say)
You're still here? Really?
Well, here's a Taylor Swift bridge to keep you company...
I want to wear his initial
On a chain 'round my neck, chain 'round my neck
Not because he owns me
But 'cause he really knows me
Which is more than they can say, I
I recall late November
Holdin' my breath, slowly I said
"You don't need to save me
But would you run away with me?"
Yes (would you run away?)
Extra points if you can figure out why I chose this bridge particularly ;)
