          THE FUTURE OF RELKENWRITES
          My wattpad followers have been my very first fans of my writing career, and your votes and views and comments do so much more for me than you'll ever know. I appreciate every one of you who reads my work and enjoys the stories I craft. That's seriously all I want out of life is to share my work and see it entertain someone else or make their day, or even just make them laugh. It means the world to me and I can't thank you guys enough <3
          
          All that said, let's address the elephant in the room. Covid-19. Thankfully my husband and I are perfectly healthy, but now because of the pandemic (and some personal reasons) I am contemplating leaving my full time job to work from home.
          
          I don't like waving my patreon account around because it seems greedy selfish and ingenuine, but in light of everything I think this is as good a time as any.

Hey folks, just a quick update about this week's uploads, and my future uploads as well. 
          
          
          
          WATTY UPLOADS- MAR. 20
          I'm thinking this weekend's chapters are gonna end up being delayed, as I havent had the time to write and edit like I usually do through the week. I miiiight get chapter of each, or two of just one story, I'm not so sure. But I'll do what I can! Thank you for your patience and understanding! 
          
          
          
          NO NEW UPLOADS
          My return to wattpad was so I can have some writing out in the world (before I officially publish, that is) to show to people as an example of my work, my style, and my genre. With Stowaway, Horizons, and Unyielding uploaded, I feel I've got enough examples of my writing to achieve that goal. (Annnd I'm out of content lol this is all I've got, since I focus so much on editing so I can get these bad boys onto Amazon for real!)) So I don't think I'll be doing regular weekly uploads anymore. I have a few teaser chapters of side projects that I might toss up here just to keep content active every now and again, but once Unyielding and Domestication have finished theirs, that'll be the end of regularly-scheduled uploads so I can focus on making real progress toward publication.
          
          (To be continued in next message...)

Where can i find lila's full story?

Hey everyone! Wanted to pop in and give a brief little update as to what to expect for this weekend's uploads: 
          
          I'm going to be scrapping Criticality, as there aren't a lot of views & votes for it and honestly, I myself haven't been terribly excited about writing it (so I literally just don't have new content for this weekend anyway). But if it isn't something you guys are interested in reading, then I'll put my focus elsewhere! 
          
          Instead, I'm going to mega-dump the first 6 scenes (so then it'll be caught up with Domestication)  of Unyielding Autumn, since it's predecessor Claimed by the Coven was one of my biggest stories on here and I'm really excited about the rewrite! 
          
          If you were reading Criticality and want more updates for that story, drop a comment down here so I know! I'll churn another few chapters out for ya ;]

Will you let us know when your stories are up for sale on amazon?
