The date is June 8, 2019. I had an idea surrounding two boys, reincarnation, and the complications of their pasts. I REALLY liked this idea and I was so in love with it. However, with shabby writing and a horrendous outline that didn't help said shabby writing, I ended up being very disappointed with the end result. Especially considering there was this amazing idea I had for the storyline that came into play HALFWAY through the book.
With little to no setup for this new plot point, I felt like the story's already wobbly structure was now falling. So, I moved on to my next project, Colony 782. With this project, I pushed through to the very end. It, too, had shortcomings, but I went back and for over a MONTH reworked the storyline to be more streamline. I loved it. It's currently my favorite project despite how much of a pain in the ass rewriting it was T~T haha IT WAS A MEESSSSSSS. Anyways, that story is now available on Amazon as a paperback OR for Kindle!!! Can you believe it? Good, cause neither can I XD lol But, rewriting Colony taught me A LOT about plot structure and how, sometimes, you need a few drafts before you get to where you wanna be with a story.
With that in mind, I hit the drawing board again. I've been rewriting TFV for the last year, and I'm already so proud of what I've changed and how much better the story is ALREADY getting!!! And I've only just breached the second out of three novels! I can't even imagine how much better the setup will pay off in the end of this second draft ^~^
Logan and Aden are so incredibly close to me and I was really disappointed in the way I handled their story. I know there were loyal readers that still liked how the old version went and I really am grateful for that. But, I'm also aware of how many plotholes there were and, like I said earlier, how the plot structure is nearly nonexistent.
You can also support me and the series on Patreon if you'd like. I don't offer many tiers, but I'll be uploading early chapters for early bird readers on my $5 tier. We're actually already onto book two, if you're interested and I have a patron-exclusive comic that started this year on my $7 tier. You can read its novel version (From Ash Unto Snow) in my anthology series labeled Rehersals (yes, it's spelled wrong on purposeXD) that's absolutely free to read <3
I think that's all I have to say for now. I'll provide links in the description for Patreon, my discord server (if you're interested), and the link to the Kindle preorder for Colony 782 if that peaked your interest. ^~^ If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them below and I'll answer them as best as I can. Thank you new readers for joining us for this revamped version of an older story and thank you returning readers for giving this new version a shot despite having already read the older version <3
Remember to stay safe, stay kind, and hopefully we'll see y'all in January!!! <3 <3 <3
Two men. Two apparitions. One seemingly inescapable fate.
Aden wants one thing: To find the love of his life after over a decade having been separated.
Logan wants another: To stay away from the very person that let him be taken away in the first place.
But, as truths become known to both about who they are and the vicious cycle they're stuck in, the two have to overcome their differences in an attempt to end it for good. In their efforts, a blossoming relationship rises from the ashes. The only question now, is it too late?
Updates: Whenever a chapter is ready.
