Hello, everyone. I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and that you all have a wonderful New Year. After 20 Chapters, 402 Pages, and 84,348 words; I'm very happy to announce that Auburn Eyes has been completed and is now available! I wrote the first word of this story back on May 9, 2018 and crafting this story from start to finish has been one of the greatest pleasures I've ever had in life.
Believe it or not, but I actually started writing this story while I was still in college, and what started as a hobby quickly turned into a passion that I wish to pursue for the rest of my life.
I believe that every artist puts at least a little bit of themselves into everything that they create, and that was my philosophy when writing this story. I've struggled with depression, anxiety, and loneliness for my entire life. But I'm fortunate enough to have my grandparents in my life, who were there to help me get the professional support that I needed.
While not everyone has people like my grandparents in their lives, I believe that by making it clear to people that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we can improve the lives of those people immeasurably.
But in the end, it doesn't matter how many people that this book reaches. If this story can help even just one person feel even just a little bit better about themselves, inspire them to seek help, or motivate them to help someone else. Every moment that I've spent writing this book will have been worth it.
I hope that you've all enjoyed reading Auburn Eyes. If you'd like to get the newly revised and expanded upon story, it's available on Amazon. Just search for "Auburn Eyes", and the author's name is Cory Corson.
I'd just like to leave you all off with my best wishes, I never would have ended up where I am now if it wasn't for Doki Doki Literature Club and all the wonderful people in both that game's community, as well as the fantastic people that have read my story here. I love you all.
