Hey my beautiful readers and friends.  I decided to unpublish some of my later chapters.  As I was doing plenty of revisions, adding further context and ended up making a new chapter .  If you finished what I already had previously posted, no biggie.  The ending is still the same and the series of events are still the same. Call it the Directors Cut of what I will be uploading soon.

Attention everyone.  Some revisions have already been posted, especially for the chapters that I felt were too small and needed some extra context.
          
          The second novel has a few chapters written, but I will not post any chapters until I have at least 75% written

Hi Alfie, I am the one who post on Reddit which says; let's roast eachother. The day has come.
          
          When I saw it says "How I Met My High School Sweetheart," I was very scared because I thought it was a high school drama written by a 16-year-old girl. Then I saw the year '99 and Discmans, and so on, I relieved and it piqued my interest. Seeing that it was a true story; I worried that any criticism would be disrespectful. But an evaluation of the structure, not the plot, is always helpful. Respectfully of course. I'm still at the beginning, but I think you might set the scene in more detail. let us relive those years.  And I think we'd like to hear your feelings in more detail, too. Yes, we know you are smitten. Tell us more. How melted were you when she giggled. how stupid and cringe were you at the age of fifteen. And It might be fun to hear your comments much more about that yourself at that age. It's more valuable when it comes out from a man's, a fifteen-year-old boy's perspective.  Because let's face it, your target audience is young girls and women who will read it with the joy and hope of their youth.  And please, PLEASEEE go deep in your soul and give the paragraphs about misfits and wildflowers more depth, 2 or 3 sentences doesnt do the trick.  Other than that it's a very good sample of the 'feel good' genre or a memoire. Best of luck on the wattys. Sending virtual flowers to your beautiful wife. 
          
          P.S. I noticed your little mention of activism over the convos, respect brother!

@nightinsatin  thank you so much for your time. This review means a lot and tells me where I can make this story pop.   I hope you do enjoy the story.  
            
            I am currently doing some revising and will definitely work on those early chapters

Hello everyone.  I am really wanting to make my story worthy of entering the wattys.  I will be looking over all my published chapters and adding context to where I feel it's needed and correcting grammar.  If you feel there's an area that needs work, let me know.  
          
          As always, I love you all and keep doing what you're doing

I'm still here.  I'm sorry for letting my audience hanging. I've been involved with some activism lately and it's put me behind on my writing.  
          
          I promise, these next 2 chapters are probably the longest chapters I've written.  I'm hoping to drop the next chapter later today or tomorrow.  Stay tuned, and I love you all for sticking around with my adventure.

Sorry for the delays in writing.  I have lots of things going on.  I dropped all the drafts I had and am still working on the last 2 chapters.  I appreciate your patience.  I'll drop the next chapter as soon as it's done and proofread.
