First off, I want to say thank you everyone who's still reading my original franchise. Seeing it grow and having people genuinely give me proper criticism and not an unjustly review bomb motivates me further into improving my word work. We are about more than halfway done with Arc 4 Part 1 and afterwards, the start of Part 2 will initiate. Sadly, I do have to say I'll take a small break once we reach the end of part 1. But don't worry, in that time I'll be transcripting the first spinoff to Always Together, which is: A STORY OF ENVY, staring Samantha as your lead character and bringing in a whole new cast of characters that will tie into the later Arcs of Always Together. It's short but will leave a lot answered and leaving you to say, "huh, that's new" or "wow, this is ridiculous." It's the first out of three prequels to Always Together with the second releasing at the end of Arc 4 entirely. Also, about my second story D-JABBIC, that will come out of hiatus during the month of February but I'll only make 9 more chapters for it to sadly put it off again because of time.

Right now, chapters will be slowing down because I'm working 10-12 hour shifts in the auto care shop I work at. And with more personal issues slowing things down and grabbing my time, it still doesn't stop me from working in between what little time I have. I'm just as if not more motivated than ever before to reach Part 2. I think I'm doing an okay job with Part 1 but I'm aware of stuff that still needs to be worked on. But that's okay, what you're reading is a raw manuscript and only myself doing all the editing. I've managed to not make the story as derivative as it was in the very beginning though that's still a flaw in my writing. Another thing is I can be over descriptive on things that don't need that much explanation. Thirdly, I know I put too much focus on something that shouldn't be the focus to make the story go forward. Yes, I'm a native English speaker for petessake, born and raised in good ol Georgia since many think I'm not a native English speaker. Perhaps it's due to the fact that my grammar in the early transcript, Arc 1 for example sounds not native since I spell things more in favour of mainland England. Although, I was taught to spell certain words in that way since I was a child. Punctuation and some grammar is also an issue that was prominent in the early transcript. And it's still not perfect.

To get to the final topic, I am in the process of making a patreon for Always Together and the money used for that will go to proper editors and my main artist so I can turn Always Together into a proper light novel series with illustrations and of course, proper grammar, but that's for the future, not anytime soon. So with that, anything that I write in a day will be posted on said patreon before ever becoming a complete chapter to be later posted on here. So who ever is signed up for it will be depending whenever I post a chapter far ahead of anyone else who will later read it once posted. You'll be a chapter, two or maybe three depending on my time when I do post a complete chapter on RoyalRoads. Of course any patreon members will have full access to exclusive art made for Always Together that's never before seen on this site. I have almost a hundred illustrations to this franchise and they'll get to see the rest when I do make more with my main artist.

Money's always been a problem in my life since I was a child, but it never holds me back to achieve best for not only for myself, but especially for my family. I've learned that all too well when I published my first book that was Arc 1 and not even making 80% back on what I invested. I know I ain't the only one who struggles with the same, and share a similar story like others, but like many, there's always a twist that makes your own life story that stands out along with your struggles. I don't like discussing much of my personal life since I'm a very private person, but what I can say is, despite with everything I've gone through in the past 6 years, actually combating and overcoming obesity, mental health problems, I'm proud of myself for getting this far into something I've put my love and devotion into other than fixing cars. Ever since I started writing again at 22, reigniting my passion for something that was tarnished by a person who thought I was good for nothing as a overweight child, I'm so damn proud for where I'm at today with my franchise. And I thank everyone who've been there since the beginning and to any new comer who are here to stay to see where my journey takes me as an author. Again, I don't give a damn how many times I have to say it, but thank you to those who read my story, and thank you to those who are new and I'll do my damnedest to get you to stay!
