1Authors Note:

I started writing when I was five. It was something about a duck and my mom has it somewhere in the attic in a box she like's to call Jess's stuff. I write anything and everything you can think of, currently I have ten journal all scattered around my house with story ideas. The journal for A Woman's Worth is a purple and pink one and it is with me all the time because I never know when I'm going to get an idea. Sometimes I pull over on the side of the road and I scribble stuff down, hence how I created Glamma. To me the journal is like my life. In it I write stuff for upcoming chapters, Brooke's outfits, sex scenes, the last five chapters of A Woman's Worth - basically anything or everything you can think of. I do this because it's important to me that the quality of my work be the best because it is a reflection of me.

With this said it has come to my attention from your various emails, pm's and reviews that a lot of you are not happy with the fact that I'm doing the rewrite. Now believe it or not I get this. It took a lot of courage for me to stop halfway through the story to do this, but I felt that I had to. For two reasons, the first is that the first version was crap. I know a lot of you may think I'm wrong, but I'm the author and when I sat down to write the latest chapter I couldn't tie in what I wanted to do and I couldn't believe how crappy it was. I read back and in front of me was crap. Now for those of you that have read the new version you know what I mean. In the last few months not only have I grown as an author, but I have also let myself go. I'm no longer afraid. I don't ask myself a hundred times if it is going to work because now I know it is.

The original is not now or ever going to be updated. The new version is going faster. I have managed to make it longer and at the same time shorten the old version to make the Brucas interaction not only better, but faster. The last chapter which I believe to be the best chapter I have ever written is amazing. I'm also adding Rachel and HUC to this new version. Now for those who refuse to review because they feel betrayed I'm sorry. For those who think I'm traitor and refuse to read the new version, it's your lost. And for those who may be mad, but understand it thank you. Also for the people who are boycotting the story thank you for actually doing this because now I'm more determine than ever to finish the rewrite. So that's all I have to say. I hope you check out the new version, I hope you love it and I hope you review and let me know what you think. It is an amazing story filled with a million twists and turns. To me, writing Brucas right is more important than writing Brucas half assed to appease the masses and if I have to suffer with reviews then let that be it. Thank you Kaos.

If you want to read it and compare both versions here you go.

very good friend Sam wanted me to add this and Sam you're a goddess but hell you and the whole world know that.

I'm Sam, I write as xogoingnowhere, and some of you may not know me because I've been on a sabbatical of sorts from writing for the last few months. Even so, I've been writing in the One Tree Hill fandom for the past few years, and I've known Jess almost as long. She's a very close friend of mine, and there are a few things I can tell you about her—one is that she's very talented, another being that she's even more stubborn. A Woman's Worth started out as her little story that could, and it quickly grew into something powerful, with legions of loyal readers. It took on a life of its own. Her doing a rewrite without actually completing the first version is a controversial move, but even more than that, it's a gutsy one. I can tell you firsthand that Jess agonized over making that choice. Eventually, she decided to just go for it, after months of goading, and the product is even better than we could have imagined. As a fan of AWW, I totally understand the disappointment that we won't get a conclusion as fast as we'd all like, but I personally think it'll be even sweeter to reach one with a better quality story. Jess is doing this because it's what's right, not what's easy, and the story will be even more amazing for it. Instead of whining over the rewrite, do a side-by-side comparison of the chapters so far. Jess knows what she's doing. Soon everyone will. Trust her, trust her story, and trust her vision for it. You won't be disappointed.
