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.

Howard's Growth
In the not too distant future, the concrete of a new world has been laid to replace the dying Earth of old. In this world, one must provide value or perish in ignominy. Howard Manfield, like most pawns, fashions himself a king of his realm. Presiding over the corporatized dominion of genetic engineering, Howard was yet haunted by memories unknown to him. Awaking in a cold sweat to the dank smell of his own breath, his mind turning to the darkness from which it had emerged. In truth that was what he remembered most, it was more the substance of absence more than any meaningful presence on a color spectrum. It would not be until the first and last of his fated 'finding quests' that Howard Manfield would learn his place among his memories.
