It's actually a song from the 80's. I'll keep this as a secret for now haha
There's a lot. I'm really bad at pacing, character development, logic, building climax, world-building, etc. basically every common mistake newbie writers like me go through — I really suck at haha. But I'm doing my best to improve it thanks to my readers and friends.
Since I'm a pantser, meaning I don't usually outline my plot until the end, I enjoy surprising myself with the next scenes that come to mind as I write. Another thing is somehow giving my readers the opposite of what they're expecting haha. I'm THAT kind of author. Of course, the dialog as well. I love to create "quote-worthy" dialogs
Has potential but needs a lot of improvement. I couldn't agree more!
Wonderfully So is a stand alone novel. But I do think about trying a series someday. I bow down to authors who could do series — that much dedication and commitment to the craft is priceless.
I would like my readers to learn about discovering more of themselves especially when it comes to love to oneself and to others. Sometimes, we're too caught up with our fantasies we can't seem to draw the line between what's real and what's not, and most of the time our perception about life is compromised. It is so easy to judge another by his/her mistakes when you're not in his/her place. But when they're actually in that position where they need to make a tough choice, I hope my book teaches them to decide for themselves and not anybody else.
When you write down your story in hopes of sharing it to the rest of the world, I want you to think about all the hindrances, both internal and external, and prove them wrong with the love of your craft. Be quiet in progress, so they'll think you have nothing done. Don't be afraid to let them think you're going nowhere with your book, because I'm sure when you finish it amidst their doubts, the satisfaction will be much sweeter for you. Lastly, give yourself room to be discouraged, but don't ever ever stop writing.

Yes, actually. But usually when I write about Avery, I think about a certain character from a TV show.
The unpredictability of the story
Definitely! My imagination is wild and I have all the time in the world for my passion! But I promise myself I will not be working two or more projects at a time.

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers.

He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
