EXTRA CREDIT: CHARACTER PROFILES

​Hi everyone, Extra credit will be going on hiatus 😭

​I know, I know the novel just started but I plan for this to run for over eighty chapters, so in order for this to happen, I've got to get a contract. Currently this is up on a few apps and will only continue on whichever sites offer me a contract, so pray this one does.

​To pass the time, here are the character profiles, drumroll please!!!!

​To everyone checking out Extra Credit, I just wanted to say a quick thanks. Whether you’ve been lurking or dropping comments, it’s been cool seeing people start to get into the story. It’s early days, and even though the numbers are just starting to grow, I’m really enjoying the vibe of where this is going. Knowing there are people out there actually reading my words makes a huge difference.

​The hiatus is just a strategic move so I can focus on getting a contract. I’ve got big plans for these characters—like 80+ chapters worth of drama—and I want to make sure I’ve got the right setup to see it through to the end. I’ve spent so much time plotting out Kam’s mess and the twins' chaos, and I want to make sure I have the space to tell the story properly without rushing it.

​I’m putting in the work now so the rest of the story can be as wild as possible. I’ll be back soon with more updates and hopefully some good news about a contract. Thanks for riding with me and being patient while I get things sorted behind the scenes. It means more than you know. Stay tuned!

with love, Tara of hearts
