Okay, friends. This is the novel I wrote for NaNoWriMo 2016, and I’ve been sitting on the draft FOREVER. This is round two of me attempting to edit it and put it out there. Last time I tried posting it, I was in kind of a weird spot mentally and I ended up taking it down. But I want it to be out there, cause otherwise it’s just gathering dust in my google docs folder and that’s kind of sad. So even if it’s silly or terrible and even if nobody ever reads it or likes it, at least it’s out there (that’s what I’m telling myself anyway). 

So here’s my blurb: 

When Olivia’s world was abruptly and forcefully shattered, the only way she knew how to deal was to run. So she did, moving 500 miles to a new city and a new life - and leaving her boyfriend Ryan with no explanation and no goodbye. Now, they’re in the same city again, and every feeling they ever had for each other is still very much there. They rekindle that flame, and it burns HOT. But can they untangle the knot that still ties them to their past? Or will Olivia’s inability to confront her demons cause her to lose Ryan for good?

I know this will not be everybody’s cup of tea, and I know that most people are around here for fanfiction, but if you give my little piece of original work a tiny chance it would mean the WORLD to me. 

basically, she’d encourage me to rephrase my opinion without the attitude. so “UGH, you NEVER let me do ANYTHING!” would (often after quite a bit of bitching and grumbling) turn into “it feels like every time i have a fun idea, you say no, and i just end up sitting around the house.”
