My goodness. I really dropped off the face of the planet, haven't I. I'm not even sure how to process all this. All that's happened in the last two years. I'm sorry for not being around.
          
          I'd like to start by saying that the Infected Life series was put in a chokehold, between not having time to write or edit and having to consistantly fight with system errors. I don't want to give up the story because of how much i enjoy working on it, but I refuse to make promises that will disappoint anyone. I'm going to work on bettering myself as the year comes to an end, and push myself to being a more active entity in 2025.  I still can't believe it's almost 2025.
          
          With that being said, I will be working on a schedule and consistent activity moving forward. Please stand by...

Hello, everyone!
          
          Infected Life: Outbreak has been completed! Chapter 28-30 and a note from myself have just been posted tonight, and then . . . well, that'll be it for now. I achieved my goal much earlier than I'd anticipated, so my hiatus will be starting and I'll just be saving drafts and checking messages. I can't thank everyone who's been around for my books when they were in those weird early drafts, and everyone who's been waiting with baited breath for me to finally finish. This one goes out to you guys!
          
          All this leaves me to say is I appreciate everyone who told me not to quit. I thought of dropping this a lot, especially when I was going through a rough patch that made me wanna quit. But thanks to a few of you, I persisted, and I couldn't be prouder!
          
          Thank you for everything, and have a pleasant night (or day)!

Hi, guys.
          
          Kinda funny how I'll say spotty then disappear for months. Hope you're having a great October so far.
          
          Update Announcements:
          
          Infected Life Chapters 25-27 have just been uploaded, I hope you like them.
          
          By the end of the year, my laptop will offically be dead. I can access Wattpad through my phone, but it'll be hard to write from there, so it may be a hot minute before I return from the dead (again). My goal is to finish the book by November 20th, 2022.
          
          If I can get a new laptop by New Years, I'll be on offical hiatus while I get Book 2 rewriten and prepped. I'm solo on the storyboard and editory stuff, so don't give up on me yet! Just hard to juggle work, house work, my personal life, and type on this old machine. I'll do everything I can to remain active, but if you guy want to talk me (tell me your thoughts, suggestions, critism, etc.) feel free to leave comments or messages. If I see the notification, I WILL READ IT!
          
          Anyways, sorry for talking your ears off, have a great night,

Hello, everyone.
          
          Due to an unfortunate accident, I was forced to reupload "Infected Life [Book 1]" by  starting on a "new" story. Chapters 1-21 are up, so I just wanted to make sure half the book was up before anything else happened. I'm back to work, so updates will be spotty, as I work nights and sleep late into the day.
          
          Hopefully you enjoy the extention, I can't wait until I show off the second half!
          
          Have a great day!

Hey everyone!
          
          Good news and bad news.
          
          Good news: I have rewritten enough chapters to where I feel confident that they are what I'm looking for as a final draft. They are extended, editted, and generally easier to read. It fills me with joy that I'm liking how this is turning out so far.
          
          Bad news: I'm not going to be done with the complete story as quickly as I've thought. I'm going to give it a little longer before I decide how I should proceed with Wattpad. Thank you for sticking around, I really do appreciate it.
          
          Hopefully posting soon,
          ~NAB

Hey guys,
          
          I finished my rewritten Chapter 7 last night, kinda surprised it took so long, but given I have written up an entire chapter that was in the last draft, I'm not too disappointed. The first book will hopefully be complete before April 15th, as it's getting an extension and will be very different from the last draft.
          
          Character's have whole new story arcs, scenes and plot have been lined up in a way I'll understand while writing; it'll be something completely different, but still follow the general plot. Taking breaks in my day to read over the updates please me, and I'm confident that they will be enjoyed.
          
          I'll be seeing you soon,
          ~NAB

Hi folks,
          After taking some time to reflect on if this is really what I want to do with my life, what I really want to be known for and hopefully be some form of "legacy", I've deciding that for the time being, the entire "Infected Life" series is being taken down.
          
          The decision was made by numerous factors, mostly being that relaity checks and exposed loopholes just made the plot messy, and that even trying to read earlier installments myself made me want to make a horde of Infected chew me down to a bare skeleton. A checklist has been produced, and the series, in it's altered new vision, will not be published on Wattpad until every box has been checked off and I am satisfied with a story that I've been writing (according to a very old draft I found) since before 2015.
          
          I care too much about this to just allow some half assed middle school essay of a book be what I intend on showing off. I hope you'll like it after I've done some changes, because I plan on riding this train to every stop on the track. I got some special stuff up my sleeves that I'm just itching to publish, but we'll get to that topic down the road.
          
          Sorry for the long announcement, I love you all, <3

Hey, guys,
          So, yes, I am alive. Hit a rock while trying to push chapters out, then other stuff happened that took a lot of time to figure out, move past, get over. I'm taking a little time to type up some chapters, then I'll hopefully get back into the swing of actively working on the book after New Years. Sorry for taking forever, sorry for making you wait. Love you all!
