Author Announcement - A Life Rewritten:
          Hey everyone!
          
          It's been a long time in the works, but A Life Rewritten is finally complete!
          
          I have released the final chapter, and I'm very proud of how it came out. I want to tell everyone to stay tuned however, as tomorrow will be the real end of Josie's story. Don't miss the epilogue, please!
          
          I hope that you have all enjoyed reading Josie's journey as much as I did writing it. This story felt so personal and fun to write, even if it felt as if it was a much sadder or darker theme than my previous experience of I'm No Prince.
          
          I hope to publish more stories here, however I will be taking a break for a while, now that I have finished the writing for A Life Rewritten. I didn't take much of a rest period between I'm No Prince and A Life Rewritten, so I'm a little bit burned out from working as hard as I have been. 
          
          Once again, I really hope that this latest story has resonated with you all, and I hope that it was able to bring a grin to your face to watch the growth and depth that I attempted to communicate through the characters.

Author Announcement - A Life Rewritten:
          Hollow again, all!
          
          I know that it has been a long time since I released any new parts to this story, however I feel that you should know that it is finally almost completed.
          
          Now that Chapter 10 is completed, I have begun Chapter 11, and it will be published around 10:30 CDT. Once Chapter 11 is published, it may be a while before Chapter 12 comes out, however this is not because of any sort of hiatus or anything. I am simply very busy with work and school, and so it may be a while before I am able to give the final chapter of this story (that is, Chapter 12) all of the proper attention that it is due.
          
          Chapter 12 is the culmination of many emotions that I hope I have successfully conveyed over the course of this story, and I really feel a conviction to make it as genuine as I can.
          
          Much of what I said in my previous announcement I want to reiterate here; Josie is a part of my soul, and her story is one that is very close to my own. There are subtle differences between me and her, but I wrote A Life Rewritten as a means to communicate love and understanding to people who have gone through similar things in their lives. I've lived Josie's story before, and so I do not wish to do anything other than convey her life as respectfully and genuinely as possible.

Author Announcement - A Life Rewritten:
          Hello again, everyone!
          
          I feel like an explanation is due for A Life Rewritten in regards to the progress of the story.
          
          Chapter 8 for this story should come out later today.
          
          After chapter 8 is published to this website, I am afraid that it will take a while to publish any more chapters. Chapter 9 will be the part where everything becomes so much more real, to both (hopefully) all the readers of this story, as well as (definitely) to me. I want to handle the climax of this story with as much care as I can, as what is touched on in the story as a whole is something that is not pretty.
          
          Josie's story is a sad one, and I have lived through one very similar- however, I still cannot excuse writing chapters as fast as possible simply to finish a story. I hope that, by the time the story is complete, you will all have before you a genuine and true story that is respectful to all who resonate with Josie. What I do not want is a story that hides behind my own life experiences as an excuse to trivialize the struggles of anyone who may find Josie relatable.
          
          Josie is a part of my own soul, and for that reason, I am determined to give her every ounce of respect and care as I can. For both my own story, and for anyone who is reading it. I love it when my stories can cause someone to smile, so I want to give you my life, my story, as genuinely as I can- so that people who have lived similarly may be able to smile, knowing that they are not so different from other people as they have been made to believe.

Author Announcement - I'm No Prince to A Life Rewritten:
          Hello everyone,
          
          I just want to say how thankful I am to everyone who read I'm No Prince, and to everyone who stuck around to the end of the journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now, I know that the story has been done for a while now, and it's a little odd that I'm saying thank you right now. 
          
          My reason for this is that it's taken me a little bit to actually come back after finishing one story- I was pretty exhausted from all that writing. But I do want to thank everybody who read and enjoyed I'm No Prince. 
          
          Also, I want to mention that I'm trying to write a new story now. A Life Rewritten is quite a different experience from I'm No Prince, but I'm hoping that I can capture a similar feel. I'm No Prince was a piece of my own experiences in life, and A Life Rewritten is the same. 
          
          A Life Rewritten is a much sadder story, however, so it may take a little bit of time for me to get the feel right. I really hope that you will all find it to be as entertaining a story as I hope I'm No Prince was.

Author Announcement - I'm No Prince, chapter 10:
          Hello everyone,
          
          I wanted to update you on the progress of Chapter 10. This next part is a crucial phase in Andrew's journey, and I'm dedicated to ensuring it's handled with the care and attention it deserves. As a result, it's taking longer than anticipated to refine every detail.
          
          I hope to release Chapter 10 reasonably soon, but I estimate it may take at least two more weeks to ensure it meets my standards. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this process. Your support means a lot as I work to deliver the best possible continuation of Andrew's story.
          
          Stories and Smiles,
