I was in a very low point in my life, and in one gloomy summer night the thought that I've never been to prom and the reasons of it, plus that I'll never get to know how it feels like, were going around my head in circles and then the thought that I've only studied and I have never done anything fun closely followed it and then boom! The idea of the story was born.

The character development of all my characters other than my protagonist.

First I wanted it to be a stand alone, but then when I decided how it's going to end, I thought of writing a sequel for it too. But in the end, I'm just going to see if my readers want to read more about these characters or not.

The impact our words have on one another and how deeply they might affect someone. And also, even if you're in a low point in life, always give yourself a chance to heal and grow over it.

Not everyone is going to like the story you write, and as a writer, you should never let that get to you and discourage you.

My main character is basically inspired from myself.

A good cover and blurb, plus a promising and strong first chapter.

Yes! The moment I finish writing Acumen I'll start uploading the first book of a fantasy-vampire novel series called Fantasies Blown away which I've had in mind for more than five years.
