Hi everyone! So I don't know if you've noticed that I've been pretty quiet on here. That's because I've moved to Royal Road. The kinds of stories that I've been writing lately and wanting to write are heavily leaning towards fantasy and people are finding my story there, too. I update a lot sooner on there because I'm on there way more often now. So if you want, you can follow Ravensdale over on RR instead! Thanks for all the support through the years on Wattpad. This isn't really a goodbye. I'll still be posting Ravensdale on Wattpad, but you'll find that Ravensdale's updating schedule is a lot more consistent on there than here. <3

Hi! So I have decided NOT to do the ONC for this year. Partially being that my son has decided to have more behavioral issues that make it very difficult for me to write alone in the house. I have to keep my eye on him almost 24/7 and when it comes time to write, I usually just do Ravensdale. Which means.... Ravensdale is back in business and will be the one and only project I am working on through 2025. 
          
          The updating schedule will be monthly. One up to three chapters a month. Should be something like one chapter a day for one week, and then the next month, the same thing. The reason being is that I'm part of a critique circle and I get the critical feedback that I absolutely need once a month. So far the critique circle has enjoyed my story. I hope you enjoy the revamped version. 
          
          Here's chapter Three!!

Hi everyone. I am still working on Ravensdale. For some reason, chapter three was not typed up. But the rest leading all the way up to about chapter twelve have been. The reason why things have been slow is because of my kids. They have special needs, as most of you already know. Most of my free time has been dealing with destressing myself and writing doesn't do that for me. It makes me stressed, so I've been taking to colored pencils, coloring in books and following an art tutorial. I've been working on art ever since I discovered I can draw with pencils. I hope to start coloring flowers and landscapes, homes and villages so I can have some illustrations to go with my book! :D 
          
          With all this being said, I will have chapter three typed up by tonight. It will be posted again next month when I get the feedback from my writer's group. They point out things that don't work with the chapter and the like, so I can give you all something decent and well thought out instead of something written hastily. 
          
          Also, I plan on doing ONC this year again. Last year was such a phenomenal experience and I can't wait to do it all over again.

So, hey everyone! I've been working on the revamp of Ravensdale for a few weeks now, and currently I have six chapters from chapter one up to chapter six written. I will be republishing them as a whole once I am at a really solid point in the story. I am in a real life writer's group that is helping me, giving me solid feedback every month so it's been helpful and extremely and I mean *extremely* motivating to have cheerleaders not only helping the story get better, but actually know where my story is falling and excelling at from the get-go. I am SO EXCITED about the revamp and I think you'll be too. 
          
          So long. I'll see y'all later! Alex. 
          
          I guess, you could expect the first two chapters next month after they've been critiqued. Thanks for your support <3

So I have been a little MIA for a few months. Things have honestly been very stressful, and then sad. A few weeks ago, my grandmother passed away, and things have not been easy. I hope to come back to writing soon, though. I've been mainly working on One Midnight and haven't come back to Ravensdale yet. I am going to work on the next chapters of RD when I get the chance. I don't have a lot of free time, and the very little I do, I can only focus on one thing. I hope soon that will change. <3

Hey everyone! Back with another announcement. I finished my very first story, a novella, called One Midnight for the ONC 2024. It shortlisted! I am still shocked my silly story got that far. 
          
          But with that being said, I have decided to spend all my time now expanding the story into a novel. I'm not sure whether or not I'll post the novel on here. That's still up for debate, but I'm super excited about expanding it ever since I got feedback from a beta reader I know. I will let you know if I post the story on here or not. <3
          
          In the meantime, you guys can check out what I currently have up if you want. https://www.wattpad.com/1423479199-one-midnight-onc-2024-%E2%9C%94%EF%B8%8F-blurb-%2B-content-warning

Hey everyone. So I have some news for you. I have had a pretty tough decision to make and in light of all of the things going on with Wattpad, I have made the executive decision to move my stories over to Ream. The only stories that are staying up are One Midnight and my Weekend Words book because I'd like to participate in the Weekend Write In. It's fun to write 500 words a week. 
          
          I'm changing my stories over to Ream and Radish mainly. Don't worry though, Ravensdale is also available on Royal Road and Inkitt if you have accounts there. I will be mainly working off of Ream and Radish, though. The story will be available for free across ALL platforms. 
          
          As far as Ravensdale goes, this story has been a big part of my life and I am not giving up on it. Instead, I am moving it over to Ream. The story as it stands is starting to deal with some pretty dark things and things I'm afraid would cause it to get removed on Wattpad. Too many people I know are getting their stories removed for violating terms of service and my story, it looks like already went through one of those reviews. It passed it if it did, but I just don't want to walk on eggshells with this story and cause it to become a barebones story with no spine because the spine of the story is really what is driving it right now, so to remove that central element would mean the story would suffer greatly for it and I can't and will NOT allow that to happen. 
          
          Here's my Ream profile. Thanks for hanging in there with me through all of this.

@Davrielle I've been good. Things have gone so well for me. I finally broke through my writer's block and things just seemed to fall into place. I am now working on overhauling ATAW (if you remember that book). Would you like to connect with me through socials to catch up?

Hello everyone! I haven’t forgotten about Ravensdale. I am wrapping up the final chapters of my ONC novella, One Midnight. Once that is over, I’ll update Ravensdale more frequently. It should be starting back to regular updates sometime in early May.
