Hi, all!
          
          It’s crazy that it’s been two years since I last posted or updated. Suffice it to say, life definitely caught up with me. My apologies for being MIA so long. Thank you to those of you who reached out to me (I don’t know where the messages disappeared to on here but I tried to find them and respond back!). I haven’t stopped working on Broken and am intent on making this the year that I finish writing it! I’m so close. Thinking of redoing the old chapters on here with the new and improved ones I’ve been working on. 
          
          I was so pleasantly surprised with seeing my reads having gone from 1K to over 3K in my absence! What a delightful surprise! I hope everyone is well, and to all the readers and followers of Broken, thank you for the continued support and votes and shares! Happy New Year, readers! Later updates to come! <3 :)

Hey, readers! Chapter 21 is out. It will look a bit different when I redo the chapters. But for now… 
          
          Enjoy! 

✨ Hi, readers! 
          
          Man, it’s been a hot minute. Missed you all. 
          
          Looks like I’m updating again. Chapter 20 is out! I’ll be changing it (in addition to all my old chapters on here) the closer I am to finishing the book. And I’m SO CLOSE!! (I’m already getting scenes and a title for the last chapter!!!) 
          
          And once I’ve rewritten the rough draft, I’ll swap out these old chapters on here— starting from chapter one to the most recently updated— for the new and improved ones I’ve been working on off screen!
          
          I know it’s been a while of radio silence. If I have any readers still keeping up with me, MUCH love and appreciation. Please leave comments, as I love reader participation and feedback. Vote if you like it. Follow if you want more. 
          
          Glad to be back. ✨

Hello, when is broken going to be updated ? I'm looking forward to it. 

Readers! 
          
          It’s been a few months. How is everyone? 
          
          Thank you so much to those who reached out to me and to all who still read or are reading Broken for the first time! I’ve seen the votes coming in and the notifications that people are adding it to their lists. I’m very grateful. 
          
          I stepped away for a bit to work on the manuscript!I left off at an unplanned cliffhanger... the cliffhanger I planned was much more dramatic in my mind lol... 
          
          I’m not sure if I will make updates on Wattpad right now since I’m making edits to the manuscript offline. Continuing updates would clash with where I want to take the story and I’m not sure that makes sense to do. When I get so far with the offline work, I’ll return and rework what I have here! 
          
          Thank you so much to everyone for all the support! Please keep reading and sharing Broken with others! In Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous words, 
          
          I’ll be back! 
          
          Love, 
          Rayven 

Hey girl! Hope your ok. Stay safe!

Happy December, readers!
          
          I get back on here after having been away for a couple months and I see the Watty Awards winners have been posted. Congrats to all the winners! You guys are steps closer to reaching your goals and that’s really cool! 
          
          I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s supported me in this writing journey! I woke up this morning to find that Broken made it to 2K views! 2K! Just six months ago, I made it 1K. And today I’m at two thousand. Wow. I am so excited and so blessed. 
          
          More chapters are still underway. Thank you everyone for your patience and for sticking with me and my book. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. 
          
          Happy reading! Happy writing! ✨
          

Readers! 
          
          Chapter 19 has been released and I’m fervently working on chapter 20. In the last status update, I mentioned that I was placing my mental health and peace first. It paid off because I’m feeling much better! 
          
          I also realized that in writing Broken this time around, I placed a lot of emphasis on Owen (in my mind). Going forward, I will likely continue writing Broken the way it is until I reach 30 chapters, at which point I think I’ll discontinue uploading to Wattpad and start the second draft on my tablet. 
          
          Just an FYI: Chapter 18 was split into two chapters meaning the end of it changed slightly, while chapter 19 contains some of what used to be in chapter 18 in addition to new scenes (does that make sense?). I hope you all enjoy the read and as always, thanks for following! 
          
          Happy reading. 

Hi readers...
          
          To those of you who have been reaching out to me, I really appreciate it. My updates to Broken have taken a bit of a backseat as I deal with some personal things and take better care of my mental health. There are books on here that I want to continue reading and chapters that I want to continue writing— I’ll endeavor to do these things next week when I feel I’m in a better place to do so. 
          
          To every writer and even readers out there, please make sure you are putting your health first. Before all other things. Specifically, mental health. That has to come first. To all those who faithfully read every chapter update, to all who follow me, thank you. 
          
          As always, more chapters are coming. 
          Take care. 

Hey readers!
          
          It's been a minute (two days over a month!). Writing has been a challenge this year (in between protesting and activism and all the emotions that come with that) BUT... I can FINALLY say... I'm done the chapter that every week felt like I was promising myself I'd finish. 
          I finished it. 
          
          Chapter 18 is out now! 
          
          I'm sorry about the delay and going ghost. I hope the time and effort placed into it and spent agonizing over it is worth it! Thank you again so much to all my readers and followers. Thank you for your patience and your support. I sincerely hope  you're all staying safe out there. Keep reading. Keep writing.
          
          Stick with me. More updates to come!
