Author’s Note #1
Please Read Before Reading
the Story for the First Time
Thanks for checking out
“Broken”! If you are stumbling onto the
story for the first time, I have two things to say to you.
1) Please don’t freak out at the number of
chapters! I KNOW it looks psychotically
long, and if you’re reading this because you’re judging or reviewing, I’m sorry
for putting you through that. But it’s
not as long as it might seem. Don’t
listen to me; take it from Maya, a fellow writer/reader/judge, who said the
following: “At first I’m like ‘HOW MANY
CHAPTERS???’ and I was literally afraid to start it, cuz I thought it’d just
drone on endlessly. Thankfully it didn’t
LOL. I think most of your chapters are
fairly short… Your story is probably a whole lot LESS than 150 chapters (or
so).”
2) Don’t judge the story by the first 15
chapters or so. I know when you start
reading, some of you will be like, “Blah, romance, lame,” but I promise you, it
is NOT what it seems. There is a lot of introduction
and working up to the main storyline, which is not revealed till about Chapter
17. Feel free to skim until that point
if you want to, but don’t immediately write it off as a lame romance, please. Ask anyone who has read it – it is very, very
different from what it seems in the first few chapters, and romance is not even
close to being its main genre. This
story is a drama/angst, all the way.
That said, I hope you
enjoy the story! :) Feedback is always
appreciated.
