Hello guys!
          
          How are all of you?
          
          I am happy to announce that The Felon Mark (Fully Edited Version) is now available here on Wattpad!
          
          I have updated all the Chapters of the book from first to the very last, now sharing with you the NEW version of The Felon Mark that I worked so hard for starting last year (2025) of June until I finished the 3rd and Final Draft in February 2026.
          
          It is April of 2026 now, and I just got the chance to make the update here on Wattpad. My 9 months of dedication for this NEW version of my very first novel is finally here!
          
          It is such an honor to be able to write this book and share it to the world, because this kind of story (and genre) literally CHANGED my life when I was just a hopeful 17-year old boy!
          
          I never said this before, but I wrote The Felon Mark to inspire, specially the younger minds, like how other stories from this lane/genre have inspired me too. So I want this book to reach as many young people as possible, that through my book (The Felon Mark) and so many other similar stories out there, they will find themselves holding on to that courage and bravery that they have, and no matter how impossible things may seem, they can always conquer the challenges and achieve their goals as long as they push themselves to be brave and continue showing up.
          
          Hear me out when I say: You have a BIG potential and a BRIGHT future ahead of you. And through hardwork and persistence, you can unleash that potential! Just believe in yourself!
          
          The goal for this book is to inspire. I have read comments that says they were indeed inspired by this book, and it always fills my heart with so much joy.
          
          I am leaving this story here, aiming to inspire more, and hoping that someday we'll have a bigger platform for this book to be heard.
          
          That's it! Happy reading! And remember... ALWAYS BE BRAVE.

3rd and Final Draft of The Felon Mark is finally done!
          
          And the first thing I want to do is to announce it, as a form of celebration for yet another milestone for the book (my first novel). So I'm here, writing this not a minute away from the very last word of The Felon Mark.
          
          I already began posting some chapters since January, which I will continue doing until I complete all the 59 chapters, one update at a time.
          
          Thank you and have a great year!
          
          
          Your hopeful author,

Happy 310k reads for The Felon Mark! 
          
          How did we manage to reach this milestone? I still remember the feeling when TFM got its very first vote! It has less than 1k reads back then. 
          
          That's early 2017! 
          
          Fast forward to 2026, we grew bigger! And I have my readers to thank! And as a gift, I am publishing the first 5 chapters of The Felon Mark (rewritten "2026" version). 
          
          I haven't done much changes for the first 10 chapters since they were initially rewritten in 2020 (covid pandemic era). So I did only minor changes. Most of my "2026 rewriting" journey takes place from Chapter 11 to the Finale, which remained untouched since I finished writing TFM in late 2017. 
          
          For the meantime though, let's endulge ourselves for the first 5 chapters of The Felon Mark as a form of celebration! 
          
          I'd love to converse in the comment section of The Felon Mark if someone's interested. See ya there!

Congratulations for finishing your novel !

Finally done with major revision of The Felon Mark! From first to the very last chapter!
          
          Still couldn't believe I made it! I started in July 1st, last year 2025, and finished today, January 10, 2026.
          
          6 months of patience and dedication, taking up every 2 days of rest from work plus holidays, and its all worth it! I have been wanting to do this ever since I finish writing it way back 2017. Never really had that chance until just last year. But I always believed in my first novel, The Felon Mark, so the desire never fades.
          
          I still have one more thing to do, which is to run a final check before I publish it. Just for the typo errors and maybe some tiny details if ever I spot one and still bother.
          
          It wouldn't be perfect to anybody's standard, not even to my own, but I'm happy for the improvement it had.
          
          Maybe no art is truly perfect to the person who creates it, but so long as you put your heart to it, that's all that matters, and the rest will just follow.
          
          I should celebrate! And I find that there's no other way to appropriately do it than through this post. This post is "the" celebration! Not ice cream, not movie, not a new book, not anything but string of words to preserve this feeling that I have right now.
          
          I'm happy. I'm grateful. I'm proud. I'm thankful.
          
          And I'm excited to share it to the world.
          
          See you!

@Gregor_io thank you so much. You too. Have a great year. :)

The upside of major editing your novel is that you also get to read your own story, from a reader's perspective.
          
          And here's what I learnt: I love my story, too. If it hadn't been mine, it's still the kind of story I would read, I would still keep myself up all night just to know what happens next, I would still hype it up from start to end.
          
          I've experienced what my beloved readers did, and that is new and surreal to me as a writer.
          
          What a wonderful experience.
          
          Ps: Na-share ko lang 'tong thoughts na 'to since kakatapos ko lang basahin ang last Chapter ng The Felon Mark, and I swear, it got me teary-eyed lalo na sa last part. It broke my heart for real. Those last words. (Regarding sa Major Editing naman, I'm 2 chapters left para macomplete ang major editing, then I'll start the updating na.)

@Gregor_io :) wishing you the best my friend 2026

Hello Peeps! How is everyone doing?
          
          I'm just happy to announce to everyone the ongoing revision of The Felon Mark, which is already 90% complete. Still working on the last few chapters, and we'll get there soon.
          
          I miraculously found a way back to writing in 2025 through The Felon Mark major revision, which I had so much fun doing. Although I wasn't able to meet my target (to finish the entire revision before 2025 ends), I'm still grateful for how much was already done. For the meantime, I will busy myself on the remaining chapters, which I find to be so much harder to revise than the rest, then I will begin updating them somewhere in January, so hold tight!
          
          This rewritten version of The Felon Mark is what I'm so proud of. Too many things to fix from the original draft, and little by little, throughout the year 2025, I pushed through, one Chapter at a time.
          
          So I'm very excited to share this new version with y'all, especially the ones who have already read it before. But stay tuned for now, as I jostle into the obstacles of the remaining chapters!
          
          Happy New Year!
          
          And I wish everyone a prosperous 2026 ahead!

Happy New Year! Let's all keep out hearts open for the new possibilities this year will bring to us!
          
          Ps. Will be making an announcement later. ❤️
