@Elena_Grey I love this perspective.Life really does shape our patience and the depth we bring to our stories as we grow.Connecting with people through original work is truly the best part of writing, and it shines right through in 'Black Hearts.' Rooting for you and your journey!

@Qiaana01 I was inspired by the books I read growing up (Dork Diaries, My Little Pony novels, etc.) and I was genuinely fascinated by how words can create such a believable world and convey emotions powerfully.
          	  
          	  So I began writing some short stories and unfinished drafts when I was 10, hoping to get my story published at a young age.
          	  
          	  But over time, I gained more experience from life, which helped me become more patient and considerate with writing my stories. Not only that, but I also started finding a greater purpose for creating my original works: connecting with people across the world, one story at a time.
          	  
          	  And that is what I hope to achieve with my original story ‘Black Hearts’

Hello love, I'm sorry to trouble you but I'll appreciate it if you checked out my book and maybe leave a review if it's no trouble. Thanks. 
          
          What happens when a mistaken identity lead's to some one else getting kidnapped?
          
          _______________________
          
          Violet just wanted a job, a good paying Job that matches her first-class business degree. Instead, she got a bold orange stain on her white dress, a jacket to hide the stain and a one-way ticket to getting kidnapped.
          
          Why? Well, you'll have to read to find out! Dive into a story filled with classic Nigerian humor, sizzling mafia chemistry, and a heartwarming domestic happily-ever-after!

PSA: After my hiatus, I will now be rescheduling + rearranging my entire writing routine - along with some important news…
          
          (1. I will now be posting every once in 2 weeks, due to an overflow of issues beyond my control
          (2. I’m still open to R4R/V4V/C4C/F4F - please contact me in my message board if you’re interested (I’ll respond as soon as I can)
          (3. My story ‘Her Bloody Highness’ will be, unfortunately, discontinued…
          (4. But I have an upcoming original fanfic story, based on the ‘Now You See Me’ movie franchise! (Which is also my first fan fiction on Wattpad ever!)
          (5. Especially for my followers, I apologize for any inconvenience and unpleasant updates. I’ll do all I can to provide genuine, quality content no matter what <3
          
          Please have a lovely day, evening, and night - and thank you for your understanding as well as support.
          
          - Love, Elena Grey -

Hi everyone…
          
          Being a new author in this writing community has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for me - and it couldn’t have been this way without any of your support. Each and every one of you have always made my day a little brighter. 
          
          But nobody has ever said that putting your work into the open world for all to see would be easy at all, especially when it’s the first work you’ve created. And as much as I wish to continue enriching my craft and connecting with all of you, I’ve realized that there’s so much more to this world than what I have here in Wattpad. So much more that I can’t ignore any more.
          
          Therefore, I announce that - for this week - I’ll be taking a temporary hiatus from this community. 
          
          But that’s not to say that I’ve lost my interest or passion in my stories, nor have I grown apathetic to my dearest followers and friends. I’ll always come back whenever I’m ready - and believe me, you all still matter.
          
          - Love, Elena Grey -
