Reality has always been my inspiration and so has experience. Entwined Destiny is a combination of both as well as fiction. I've always found my escape in books and that's what I want to give the readers- comfort.
?
as I mentioned above, reality is a part of my story. Every day life can get messy. So merging reality and also providing an escapism did prove difficult for me initially. This story is my first in the romance genre and I dived in scared not knowing how it would be perceived.
3.
Trust me when I say this, I'm surprised. My readers actually loved the story written so far. I honestly did not expect that. It's a strange feeling: happy, but nervous with a mixture of pride.
4.
The angst. The slow burn. The tease. There is so much I haven't uploaded yet, but that's the most I have enjoyed writing and I cannot wait for my readers to read those chapters.
5. ?
at the moment it is a stand-alone, but you never know- if the response is too good in the end and if the readers demand, it might turn into a duet or series.
6. ?
I would like my readers to understand and accept that life is hard, no matter what. Be it fiction or reality, everyone has to face struggles and it's different for each person, but that doesn't mean your hurdles are less difficult than others. As for love and romance, the first step is to be able to love yourself before you love someone else otherwise you will not be at peace and to find someone who is that way with you.
7.
My advice would be to read a lot of books in the genre they want to write in. They need to read stories that are very well-edited and worded. Write every day- it can be one paragraph, it can be one page or ten pages, but to write and be in touch with their story.

You know, a lot of people ask me that as well as other authors and I would say, YES. Even if we don't know, we subconsciously leave a part of us in our characters. My characters and I definitely share similarities.
9.
Constant updates, a well written story and an edited one along with proper marketing will draw in new readers.
10.
Oh, yes, I do! I have so many planned and I cannot wait to share it with you guys. I am excited and nervous at the same time and I am exploring as well so I hope the readers like what I'll be posting soon. x

There may be a month's between releases which are only 1000 ish words in size. So I highly reccomend coming back when there is a decent amount of reading material present. There is also no set plan for this fiction and it'll be used to release some stress, improve my writing, and to list down concept ideas possibly.

Chimera
Fate isn't always so kind, yet to some, this lack of fortune may be just what leads them to greatness. Chimera tells the tale of one such ill-fated being, of how she fought and grew as an individual, walking down the path she chose, and of how she will one day ascend past this mystical world of magic and monsters to achieve the greatness that was promised to her. - - - Author's Note: Hello there! I hope you'll give my first ever series "Chimera" a read! I DON'T want to make this series into a full-blown LitRPG or wuxia, but a fantasy series that dabbles into both genres. I hope I don't betray your expectations! Please enjoy reading, and thank you!

Verdant Heart Seed - A Reverend Insanity fan-fiction
Back in the Late Antiquity Era, the protagonist meets his untimely demise. But Heaven and Earth always leaves a way out, his new cultivation journey begins anew on the path of reclaiming his former strength and defying Fate.---This is a story about a native cultivator of the Gu world. He lived in the era of/before Spectral Soul Demon Venerable (two venerable eras before the main RI plot). He suffered the rise of the demon venerable, barely able to make his arrangements before his death. He manages to rebirth, but doesn't everything go as planned. The story starts off in an isolated small word (grotto heaven), until the MC can grow and reclaim his former glory, before surpassing it. (long way, he was already rank 8 before) The MC has a pragmatic worldview, aligned with what you would expect from someone living hundreds of years in that kind of hostile environment. He doesn't shy away from immoral acts if it benefits him. The MC bears close resemblance to Fang Yuan in this regard, but his goal is not eternal life.One of my aims was to showcase the later introduced cultivation rules into the mortal cultivation (dao marks, attainment etc.) and explore novel scenarios within this highly technical cultivation environment.
