| This is the temporary book cover |
It's been almost seven years since I last posted on here, tbh I thought this blog was dead. I neglected it back in 2015 and moved on but life's funny, you know?! After posting something about my old blog on my IG story, a childhood friend reached out to me asking about this blog and if I could shoot her the link.
That's when I came back here and looked for a nice catchy post that would surely make her laugh and wet her pants - I mean, c'mon... from starting 2013 when I was 23 yrs old and high on passion crack (disclaimer: not actual crack) to 2015, I was writing some funny shit!
So, I took a trip down memory lane by typing in my blog's address and my old posts just hit me all over again! Although now I cringe here and there reading them, they were all genuinely written from my stupid naive heart and I still love them and feel like time traveling. Each and every post was fueled by passion and longing.
However - I struggled to log in again but eventually I came up with the right login and WOW! Seriously?! Last time I checked my blog - 2015 - it had around 30'000 hits and today your Invisible Lemongrass lady next door has 48'-something-000 hits although I never posted something new! That's insane! Looking up the stats it showed that people still come here everyday(!) and read my emotional diarrhoea. The helpful tutorials on how to bleach your teeth or dye your hair also play a huge part in it but still, a lot of my ladies-only or inspired posts still get attention from you guys.
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, to me this blog was dead and I kept it online because I'm such a nostalgic person but I'd have never imagined that people still come here and read.
It all started here and believe me when I tell you, this is not the end. In fact it's just the start - what inspired me almost ten freaking years ago to pour my emotional insides out for everyone to read and feel, now is a big part of what I'm doing now.
- Now hold my vino -
'The Devil's Secretary' is the title of my upcoming book and it's a dark & steamy fantasy romance with heavy layers of erotic to it and most importantly - this really make me proud - it's based on a true story.
My story. My life back then. My passion. My illusions. My demons that haunted me for years.
So, a few days ago, 'the reason' I initially started writing a blog celebrated his birthday (I just have a nag for reminding numbers and birthdays, that's it) and I couldn't help but smile as I remember his words from almost ten years ago.
"You should write a book, I'll read it."
Some of you might remember my posts about that so-called Mr. Big, basically he was the inspiration behind my cheesiest and most frustrating rants on here. I mean... just look up #23 inspired post or #17 ladies only - pussy curse or one of my favorites: #13 ladies only - beware of dick confidence and also #16 inspired post just to name a few.
Sure as fuck this book is not what he had in mind back then and no, it's not payback or anything petty.
It's an homage to myself. An homage to the strength and growth it required from me to put myself back together after he put me apart like I was one of his bikes. My insane on-off hopping with Mr. Big will be part of the story although not as big as some might think - ok, I don't want to go too much into detail - you guys should find out for yourself how much this mysterious man will impact the story plot and he won't be the only love interest my main character will juggle.
I always knew I'd come up with a book one day, although I never knew what exactly it would be about but last October it just hit me. So I started writing the first chapters and it just flowed naturally, I could even say effortlessly. Writing a book is hard work - that's a fact - but to me it really does come naturally and the hours I invest feel like minutes. I'm writing 6 days a week for several hours over lunch plus in the evening when hubs is out fishing. Currently I'm both editing the first chapters and also writing the next ones.
My WIP (work in progress) has 34 chapters and a word count around 85'000 - as of today - and I only reached the middle part of the story. I have a feeling it will take another 20 to 30 chapters 'til I reach the end, which I have already envisioned to a T.
This makes me truly happy, it's fun and exciting - it's rewarding.
Most of all, I want to thank my stunner of a husband for giving me room to drown in this epic story that consumes me from head to toe. He might not be the reason I started writing my blog almost a decade ago but he's the reason why passion, excitement and longing run through my veins with my fingers itching to write it all down.
You can find my author profile on Wattpad, there's also an app. There you'll find hundreds and hundreds of stories of all genres. Just look for the_IVLG on Wattpad (this is also my author profile on Instagram). Come follow me and soak your panties while reading.
I hope to publish this fall/winter - either on Wattpad or Inkitt- not 100% sure about that though but one thing's for sure - this book, my story, will take you on a wild ride. So yeh... life's funny and the turns it takes are even funnier. I never thought I'd write a book based on my life and the crazy experiences I made but this girl right here brought her past passions back from the dead for you to read and enjoy all over again.
