The Sword Maiden

1,000 Reads Shoutout Special!

This chapter is a shout out to all those who read through all... *counts* 42 chapters! And left so many comments that were fun to read through :)

I consider anyone who read all the way through deserving of a shout out, because that is a lot. Many have checked out this book and read the first chapter, or even the first 10 chapters, but never (as far as I know) read all the way through. A few shout outs here are necessary...

First, to Shoney_Pony 

You are my most faithful reader ever!  I'm not sure there's not a story of mine you have not read.  You've been with The Sword Maiden from the very start of its posting on Wattpad, and have continued through it all.  Thank you so much, you mean a lot to me.

You also were one of The Sword Maiden's first readers.  And while you haven't been able to keep up of late with updates as much as you would like to, you're still such a faithful one.  Not to mention you have some excellent writing of your own ;)

You read through all of The Sword Maiden when you were assigned it in the Wattpad Christian Writers and Readers Club, despite only having to read the first few chapters.  You made me very happy that day, thank you :)

By far one of the best commenters out there, you made me and are still making me laugh with your witty comments.  You're another one of the faithful update readers.  And you too have some excellent work.

You read this book through very quickly, and left so many comments in the process!  I hope you'll continue to stick around and cheer Ravine on ;)  You're the best.

Another faithful reader that I can count on.  Your enthusiasm a few weeks ago at thinking I had done a double update, (when it was actually just the sticker chapter), made me think of doing one sometime in the future.  Hope this 'double update' isn't too disappointing for you either ;)   

  

Thank you to everyone who has checked out this book, even though you may never have made it any farther.  You still spent your time reading through what I looked back on as more experienced writer as a slightly cringy first draft.  To think I wrote that a year ago!  

And finally, to the silent readers, I thank you.  I know you're out there somewhere!  Why you choose not to vote or comment I do not know, but that's alright.  What matters is that you are here.  

This story was started and is still going as a 'fun' story, a way for me to exercise my writing muscle without worrying about plot, characterization, etc.  I don't have six hundred readers, but I do have six.  I count myself blessed to know you, and I love you all.  

Part of Ravine's journey has ended, she has found her brother.  But another part is beginning, and I'm excited to share that with you, one weekly update at a time.  

See you all next Sunday!
