Most of my stories are inspired by random things. I could be sleeping or just going about my day when something random would intrigue an idea. And slowly that idea starts growing into a picture in my head. Much like what happend with CIL. It was also because I've been wanting to write a story where the main character was 'supposedly' crazy. I wanted to dive into something I've never tried before, which I always try to do with my stories.

Motivation. As a writer we definitely get motivated by our readers' motivation and support. I've never been a writer that cared much about the reads or the votes. But the comments always acted like great motivation. I had two readers that were actively always commenting, that helped alot with always finishing chapters quickly. But somewhere down the road of writing, I lost contact with one of them, which I considered a good friend here on Wattpad. I don't think she uses Wattpad anymore lol After that I struggled with having motivation since I felt like there was no one that was appreciating my writing.
3
the overall response was definitely positive. It was something I highly appreciated since this was my first time writing a story in a different style, and not in a first person's P.O.V.
4
All of it! I enjoyed writing every single chapter. This story is the most special and closest to my heart. I've explored something new with it and decided to create background stories for all my characters and not just the main ones. They all had important roles and so I felt proud to create like a small world for the characters that used to live in my head lol
5 ?
No, it's a stand alone. I don't really like writing sequels.

Something that I definitely always try to portray through my stories. Is that no one should ever judge anyone without knowing the full story, and even then there might be something you're not fully aware of or it's extent. That's why almost all of my 'evil' characters end up being actually good people or having good reason for their actions. They were just at the wrong time with the wrong people.
7
An advice I'd like to give to another writer, is to genuinely just have fun. Because when you lose sight of why you started writing or how you used to enjoy it and instead start focusing on how many reads or votes you get, you'll end up eventually disliking to write. And no one ever started great, just keep writing, you'll eventually gain more experience. Trust me, my very first book compared to my latest can vouch for that lol
8 ?
I feel like writers unconsciously sometimes portray even small similarities of themselves into their characters. And if not, then it's characteristics they wished they had in themselves. So while majority of my characters share nothing in common with me, there are those situations in the book where the character could definitely portray me in some ways.
9
I can't emphasize enough on how important a cover is. Yeah, of course, we go on preaching not to judge a book by it's cover. But damn do we judge a book by it's cover. Also the book name could intrigue people as well as the description of the story, obviously. It has to be something you yourself as a writer, if it wasn't your book, with such description would intrigue you. If it doesn't interest you the writer; then how do you expect others to?
10 ?
I have alot in my drafts and already working on my next story. This one I wanted to take my time with and finish it before I started publishing it. I want to take extra care of this one since it's really special to me (:

Whisper of madness
Thanks to an oath, Mana had been forced to become a living cage of the god Miazanoapte. But his sudden awakening after fifty years has ruined the plans of the gods who are now forced to think of a new alternative. Because Mana was pure voratomores, his body was ideal for the god Miazanoapte to steal. That’s why many of the gods decide to kill him immediately, certain that Miazanoapte will never find a living voratomores to steal his body. The first to doubt the decision is the god who found him and delayed his death for a month until the new sorcerers’ competition where Mana had to show what he was capable of. But because a problem will never come on its own, his lack of memories and weaknesses from birth would prevent him from having an easy path. Placed with other human children, some of them natural-born talents, Mana must learn to overcome his disadvantages to earn the right to live.

The Sagas of Mortaholme
There is only one god and his name is Elduin, Dwarves are stories, magic isn’t real and the northern kingdoms are made up of raiders and the unfaithful. For two thousand years this has been the truth for the people of Alturine, the holy southern empire. For two thousand years, tradition has been leeched away to form a vicious cycle where the rich stay rich and the poor beget more poverty. Only now, when the southern realms of men are at their lowest does darkness leak back to stake its claim. Marius was raised in the northernmost reaches of Alturine under the trees of the Black Forest where remnants of the old kingdoms still linger. He never believed the stories of short mountain men, nor the old fables about mages and dragons. Yet the darkness cares little for belief and faith. He watched as wargs tore his mother and sister asunder, as the undead carried his father into their ranks and as his town was put to the torch and drowned in blood. Rage fuelled and vengeful Marius struck out against the architect of his misery only to be outmatched and left for dead.
