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.
