My mom inspired all of my writing. I was homeschooled. My mom would have a class that included writing prompts. We had five minutes to write whatever came to mind. When the five minutes were up, we were graded on whatever we wrote.One day, my mom picked a prompt about someone getting stuck in an elevator with another person. Eventually, they become friends.Throughout the years, even after graduation, the writing prompt stuck with me. I wrote so many stories until one finally stuck and I fell in love with the plot.

I had a struggle with making my characters relatable. I want my readers to get their emotions involved.I don't even care if they hate a particular character, I want emotion!Also, this is my first real romance novel. So, it was a bit difficult to write a romantic story that didn't move too fast.
I loved writing because it allows you to create an entire whole inside an actual one. When you write, there is really no limit to your imagination. I had fun with the setting and simply things, like the dialogue for this story. Creating my characters and developing their personalities were the most fun for me.
Much to my surprise, I think a lot of my readers enjoy it. My comments and responses have all been mega positive, in which I'm super grateful. A lot of my readers have a love/hate relationship with my male protagonist, which, even though it sounds strange, I'm really happy about! So far, so good!
It's a Series! (I haven't really told that anyone that yet! lolol)Hopefully this first book is a hit. If so, I'll definitely be writing the stories of my other characters.
I want my readers to learn that it's important to always know your value.Stay true to your morals and work hard!Working helps you to earn respect, which will give you a good reputation.I also want people to realize that money doesn't make you happy. Being successful doesn't mean someone is happy.

I would encourage them to
Write Without Feedback.
If you love the story, someone, even if it's only one person will love the story too
. Accept criticism with an open mind.
If someone doesn't like it, don't let it get you down.
Stay positive and keep writing! The worst thing you can do is give up.
Absolutely!
There are so many!
My main character is very grounded in her morals. Even if her emotions are involved, she won't allow herself to go against them. She's very determined character and not afraid to fight for what she wants.We are also similar in that we are both hard-workers and ensure our quality of work is high.
Lastly, we both are very loyal to our friends.

Everyone is working towards something; albeit good or bad. They all experience different journeys to get to their destination. Each character has a story and I hope it holds enough interests that you want to find out what it is.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
