Hi everyone, I've been in the oh-so necessary but not terribly exciting process of revision (as you can see from the pub. dates on the old chapters) so if you've been waiting to get back to my work, something long to curl up with during the cold winter nights, now would be a great time.  Thanks for reading,

Hey! I haven't read your work yet but I've quickly perused it, and seen that your chapter posts are huge (for Wattpad). So just thought I'd let you know that it's a good idea to break up large chapters, and especially not combine large chapters in one post. For the majority of Wattpad readers, it's best to have a chapter/post around 2000-3000 words, as most people read on their phones on the go and won't want to get stuck into a huge chapter at a time, however compelling the work is. 
          I've had to split my chapters into two each, and each part still comes out around 2000-3000 words. Plus that way you have more posts and more chances of votes and reads etc. 
          Just thought I'd share that :)

@Alecc0 I agree with Alecco's point. For the most part, I really enjoyed the book so far (I do hope you update soon and I hope the focus of the book shifts back to Zadie) but the length of the chapters is a bit overwhelming. In a traditionally published book, the intro would stand alone. I did end up skipping big chunks of your story, just because it was all like a long sheet of text, esp when the story started focusing on these kids in school instead of Zadie.

@Alecc0 Thanks so much for looking over my work and for the suggestion.  I don't like the idea of an introduction standing on its own without a chapter attached, which is why I did my first post that way.  And then, for absolutely no rational reason, I thought having begun that way, I had to continue on in a similar fashion.  Now, I will go back and try to break up chapters 2 and 3 and if I can't I will post them that way going forward.   Thanks for your help.

            Hey I apologize but I can't read it.  English is pretty much my only language, at least where my fiction is concerned.
