Hey everyone!
          	
          	I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has been reading, voting, commenting, and showing love to Tomorrow’s Stars. It truly means more than you know.
          	
          	This story has been a project I’ve been working on for several years, and seeing people connect with it has made all the late nights and rewrites worth it.
          	
          	Right now, I’m editing the first half of the book while continuing to write the second half, so the story is still growing every day.
          	
          	For those who may not know, Tomorrow’s Stars originally began as two separate stories called The Album and The Playlist. Over time, those stories evolved into the single novel you’re reading today, and I couldn’t be happier with the direction it’s taken.
          	
          	Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I can’t wait to share what’s coming next. New chapters will be published over the next couple of weeks, and I hope you’ll continue this adventure alongside Elly and Jayden.
          	
          	See you in the next chapter.

Thank you Ashtyn for following our story.
          
          Trey and I married young (only 18 and 19) and nearly thirty-five years later we’ve experienced every shade of marriage: the wild joy, the quiet growth, the hard seasons that nearly broke us, and the deep, enduring love that always pulled us back together. Aging together has taught us that true love isn’t untouched by pain, it’s what survives it and grows stronger because of it.
          
          This is our story of rediscovery, tender, passionate, and yes, very spicy. We’d love for you to read along and share your thoughts in the comments to help shape where we go next.
          
          We always faithfully read and comment on the work of our readers so we look forward to getting to know you through your work. 
          
          We’re so grateful you’re here. ❤️

Thank you both so much for the kind message—it honestly means a lot. Reading your story about growing together through nearly 35 years of marriage is really inspiring. I love that you’re willing to share not just the beautiful moments, but the difficult ones too. I think those are the stories that stay with people the longest.
            
            I’m still pretty new to sharing my own work, so being welcomed like this makes me feel right at home. I’m excited to read your story, leave my thoughts, and get to know you both as fellow writers. Thank you for taking the time to support other authors—it says a lot about the kind of community you’re building.
            
            Wishing you both nothing but success, and I can’t wait to see where your story goes.

It has been a long time since I have been active on Wattpad. Back in September of last year, I wrote two stories called The Album and The Playlist. Since then, I have gone back to the original layout and rewritten both stories into something bigger.
          
          The new story is called Tomorrow’s Stars. I am hoping to make it one full story, or possibly a two-part book. It also includes original music connected to the characters and certain moments in the story. Listening to the music is completely optional, but it adds a third element to the experience by helping show what the characters are feeling when words alone may not be enough.
          
          I am not looking for vote-for-votes, read-for-reads, or follow-for-follows. I would honestly just love to hear your thoughts, opinions, and feedback on the story.
          
          Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read it.

✨ THANK YOU + HUGE NEWS ✨
          
          I honestly don’t know how to put this into words, but I’m going to try:
          
          Perfect Harmony is officially getting published! 
          
          That means there will be no more new chapters posted on Wattpad, because this story is taking the next big leap — into bookstores, into hands, into the real world.
          
          Release Date: March 6
          Pre-Order: eBook available on Amazon right now 
          Physical Copies: Available March 6 
          
          Now the emotional part:
          
          When I first started posting Perfect Harmony, I never imagined it would grow beyond a file on my laptop. I never imagined people would read it, care about it, or connect with Harmony the way you have. The votes, the comments, the quiet little “I needed this” messages — they meant everything.
          
          You made me believe this story mattered.
          
          So to everyone who followed along from chapter one… to everyone who found this story late at night and stayed… to everyone who saw themselves in Harmony:
          
          Thank you. Truly.
          
          This isn’t just a publishing announcement — it’s a milestone we reached together. If you’ve been part of this journey on Wattpad, I hope you’ll follow it all the way to release day. This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to share the finished book with you.
          
          Thank you for supporting indie authors, queer stories, and characters who fight to be seen. 
          
          Let’s go make March 6 unforgettable. 
          
          — Ashtyn

Public Announcement
          
          I am beyond excited to officially announce that my book, Perfect Harmony, is scheduled for release and purchase in March 2026. 
          
          This moment has been a long time coming.
          
          What began as an idea — a story shaped by lived experiences, difficult memories, and a deep desire to be heard — has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined. Perfect Harmony was born through late nights, countless rewrites, moments of doubt, and the kind of trial and error that only comes when you refuse to give up on a story that matters.
          
          Along the way, I’ve learned:
          
          how to trust my voice,
          
          how to rewrite without losing heart,
          
          how to turn pain into purpose,
          
          and how to keep going even when the path felt uncertain.
          
          There were chapters that didn’t work.
          Drafts that had to be torn apart and rebuilt.
          Moments when progress felt invisible.
          
          But every setback sharpened the story.
          Every mistake made it stronger.
          Every step led here.
          
          Perfect Harmony is more than a book to me — it’s a testament to growth, resilience, and the belief that even through the darkest noise, you can still find your own melody.
          
          To everyone who has supported me, listened to early drafts, encouraged me when I doubted myself, and believed in this project before it had a name — thank you. This accomplishment belongs to all of us.
          
          I cannot wait to share this story with you in November 2026.
          This is just the beginning.
          
          With gratitude and excitement,
          Ashtyn

And also the disclaimers and trigger warnings are fully up-to-date so if you haven’t read them, please read them. They are very important!! thank you for your time for reading this!!
