Hi everyone, thanks so much for sticking around to see this story get some much needed revisions done on it. It's something that I've been meaning to do for years now, but college has kept me way too busy, but recently I've been itching to rewrite Distance and make it so much better for all of you. Now with my college closing and moving all my classes online for the remainder of the school year because of the stupid coronavirus (COVID-19), I have all sorts of free time again, which is great because that means I can write again.

I started writing the original version of Distance on December 14, 2014 and my writing has thankfully improved SO much since then. I finally understand not to write run on sentences, I understand the importance of commas (for the most part), and I've learned not to use text talk and other cringey words in my writing... Thank God. 

I'm studying English and Creative Writing in college and my CW classes have really helped me improve my writing skills. I'm so thankful for that because rereading what I originally wrote back when I was still a teenager makes me cringe and I'm honestly kind of a bit embarrassed that I was so confident in my writing ability back then when it was no where near as good as it is now. But, then again, I guess that's just a part of growing up and improving as a writer, but I'm still gonna be embarrassed by how bad parts of the original Distance story were. With that being said, this revision of the story that a lot of you have known and loved from the beginning will be a lot better and will definitely be changed up from what you remember.

Now sit back and relax and enjoy the new and improved and so much better Distance. Please let me know what you think :)

Much love ♥️
