p class="MsoNormal"Hello, my dear reader 3/p
p class="MsoNormal"I hope you enjoyed the story. I cannot express to you how much of my heart and soul has gone into it. It has been a defining journey in my life. I hope it's touched yours, too. I'll just ask for a minute more of your time: uA thank you, and what is to come. /u/p
p class="MsoNormal"uThank you:/u/p
p class="MsoNormal"I wanna say a personal thank you, dear reader. If you are new here, welcome. You entrusted me with your time and made an emotional investment. That is priceless beyond compare. It means the world to me./p
p class="MsoNormal"If you are one of my old readers, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I've interacted with many of you, and I know many by name. I think about you often. I pray for you. I wonder how you're doing, and hope that maybe, despite how long it's been, you'll see this. You inspired me to press on. Thank you for showering me with your love and encouragement. Thank you. So much./p
p class="MsoNormal"If you enjoyed the story, don't worry about liking it or following me. I don't really care about that stuff. The most supportive thing you can do is simply tell a friend. That's it. My goal when writing HopeTale has been, "if it could touch the life of just emone person./em" That's all I want. If it touches the lives of emtwo /empeople, I've already received double for all my hopes. Thank you for being here 3/p
p class="MsoNormal"uSo, now what?/u/p
p class="MsoNormal"Serif's journey, as implied by the teaser ? chapter, goes on. As of September 2023, Season 2 of HopeTale is still an active work in progress. I plan to heavily revise it, and bring it to completion. I expect it will end up radically different than its current posted state./p
p class="MsoNormal"In the meantime, the overall HopeTale universe is alive and well. I have made incredible progress with revisions for A Dreamer and An Artist 2supnd/sup Edition, End of Eras (Currently unreleased, but not for long), and AltEnd Fallen Artist (Also currently unreleased—not for long.)/p
p class="MsoNormal"I have plans to eventually write What Stars Are For, a continuation of A Dreamer and An Artist, from Blueberry's perspective. It's going to be a real treat! I am also writing a short thriller, "Find Him." YinYang is still on indefinite hiatus. However, I have not given up hope on them, either. I am so blessed to still be writing these amazing stories, and I hope they can bring some healing./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Truly, stranger or friend, you are a blessing to me. I wish you the very best. If nothing else, take away the fact that you are loved. "If the sparrows are taken care of, day in and day out without fail, won't God take even better care of you, oh you humans with not-much faith?"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Stay hopeful. Be inspired. And whatever you do, don't give up. You are loved more than you can imagine./p
p class="MsoNormal"I'll see you in the next story. With all my love,/p
