what inspired me to write it was my sister @itsmyjam because she wrote a similar story, and when i read it it really opened up new ideas for me as a writer.
2
something i struggled constructing was the characters personalities - it's a book of just their text messages, so i had to stay consistent of how they would act and how they would text. it was a bit difficult coming up with that.
i definitely enjoyed writing the character buildup & the main characters relationship. it went from them disliking each other to them becoming friends and then them dating in the end - it was really fun and entertaining to write that buildup.
all of my readers say that the story is fun and cute - i haven't had any problems from anyone and i've gotten a ton of positive feedback!
a standalone novel

i'd like me readers to be left with a smile after they're done reading the story - i am hoping the bubbly and positive vibes from the story rub off on them, and maybe even inspire them to create their own story that they love.
7
i'd say to find a way to stay motivated - it's sometimes difficult finishing a story because you lose motivation and get bored with the story. find ways to stay excited to write your story, and don't ever see it as a chore because then it will become tiresome and you'll lose the fun of writing!
both main characters have a bit of myself in them - i'd say the male character acts a bit more like me, humorous, silly etc. so yes!

my book is a short story novel, and is made up of their text messages - a lot of people read it because it's fun and it's simple. most of the time people don't like reading through an entire 50 chapter book because it takes too long and the beginning of the book is boring and doesn't have any character buildup until the middle of the book. i'd say my book stays fun and exciting from the beginning to the end and most people read through the entire thing in an hour or less!

not at the moment - but i have some ideas and may put them into a story in the future!

Tartarus Online
“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact. Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters. Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.” These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is. Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil. But it was what he wanted, more than anything. Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away. [I will also be hosting this story on Scribble Hub, thank you.]

SWTOR: The Alpha Legacy - Alexandra 'Under the Black'
This was the first character backstory and first full story in The Old Republic era after 'Project Alpha: A Summary: 'Old Republic to Current Operational Era'. This one was actually written much later. Several of the full stories were done and there was a need to introduce the Mother of several of the main characters. Much later on I started a timeline and this seemed to fit nowhere else, but right after the introduction story: Alexandra De'nabre lost everything on one of the moons of Felucia. But life found her again. As a Mirialan Jedi, she was sworn to the Unity and to the Force; casting both away once she believed both left her. The Force finds her again. And brings her back a part of her life she believed she lost. Her children. But in a cruel twist of fate, the very Republic she once defended is suddenly out to get her. Not because in her new life as an infamous pirate she committed crimes against them. The children she lost are now wards of the Republic and a special project called: Alpha. And they will stop at nothing to keep Alexandra from reclaiming them.
