Hey, everyone! I know it's been forever since I've updated this book. In case you didn't see the announcement that I sent out when I first stopped posting updates, I was having a problem with Wattpad. They wouldn't let me make any more parts to it, even though I was nowhere near the maximum chapter limit. However, it seems that now this issue has been fixed, and I can add more parts.

However, I'm not going to.

This poetry book symbolises what I think of as my "first attempt" at poetry. My writing style is different now, and I personally believe that I am much better at writing poetry now that I have been writing for longer and writing more poetry as the years continue on. Due to this, I don't wish to continue updating this poetry book, as it's been so long since I've made an update and my style of poetry is so much different.

A little note that I wanted to put in here is that, in case you hadn't noticed, the title of this book has changed. It used to be called Straight From The Heart. However, I decided to change it to Submerged Stories. I'm not entirely sure what prompted this decision, only that I knew I didn't like the old name anymore and felt that it needed a new one. I found a perfect cover from my favourite cover maker, and that cover was what gave me the idea for the new name, Submerged Stories. I hope that all of you approve of and like this change!

I have made a new poetry book! Since I couldn't update this one, I decided to make a brand new one to post my poetry in. 

The new poetry book is called Moon Thoughts, and can be found on my profile or via the external link on this chapter.

Thank you to everyone who read, voted, commented, shared, or enjoyed this book. Your support means the world to me and without the support of wonderful readers like you, I never could have continued for as long as I did. You truly help me so much and give me so much motivation to keep pumping out new content for you. Thank you so much for getting this book to one thousand reads and for being there for me throughout my entire journey with poetry, Wattpad, and writing!

Thank you so much for all that you do! And remember, I'm always available to talk if anyone needs it! Words could never convey my gratitude for you and everything you've done for me.

All my love,
