Hi, everyone! 

I have recently re-read the first story I have written on this platform, "The Disgraced Newsie", and decided that it deserved to be updated as my writing abilities has gotten better over the time I have been on this platform.

The original story will still be available, but I felt that the first story that gotten me into Wattpad in the first place deserved a rewrite. 

Enjoy the story!
