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!
9
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!

Quest of the Seal Bearers - Book 1: The Warriors Return
On the distant world of Mendala, a rash of mysterious attacks have left many towns destroyed, and there are rumors of an army of monsters. Fantasma, leader of the global government, and his colleagues are determined to find cause of these attacks. but the search for answers points them to an ancient relic, The Book of War, a cursed artifact that can create indestructible creatures loyal to its master. It’s been over twelve thousand years since the Book of War was last opened. It was believed to be destroyed during the Great War by the Twelve Warriors and Daughter of the Sun at the cost of their lives. Now, it seems the book has resurfaced, and its new master is seeking to forever tip the balance of power. The stage is being set for another Great War but who can stop the Book of War once and for all? Meanwhile on Earth, the teen members of Greengale’s Action and Adventure Club are preparing for their yearly trip when they suddenly stumble upon a secret their parents have been keeping for years. Now their world is being turned upside down as they struggle to understand the legacy that ties their fate to Mendala and the Book of War. Is their destiny set in stone, or will they forge a different path? No matter what, their choices will bring forth a new era for Mendala. ------------------------------ If you love vast fantasy worlds, rich, fleshed-out characters, and a adventure where your'e constantly discovering new things along the way, then this is definitely a story you'll enjoy. This is a slow-burn high fantasy / adventure with many characters and intersecting plotlines. It’s a quest so lots of adventuring, exploring, and character moments, but not a ton of fighting/action (though there are definitely some great fight scenes as payoff to the buildup). Because it’s a fantasy world with lots of people and new concepts, I try to make it easy so that you don’t have to memorize anything. The narrative will constantly remind you of important people/places/concepts as you keep moving forward. Some things won’t be fully explained right at the beginning to avoid information overload. My goal is that the reader will learn things organically as the story progresses. I use two mechanisms to help with the intersecting plotlines. - Each chapter is named for the (main) plotline it’s following and which part. - At the beginning of the chapter, and anytime there is a scene shift, the location is listed. Also, though this is definitely a portal-fantasy (isekai) it’s different from the standard isekai, especially since the world transfer doesn’t happen immediately. It’s not Lit-RPG but characters gain powers and grow over time. Also, it’s a group of teens that transfer, not just one central character. All of the teens are distinct characters, with their own character-arcs, relationships, powers, growth etc. Hopefully you’ll find this interesting as you’ll see the world and story from multiple perspectives. The story is always in 3rd Person (Omniscient) POV so that it’s not jarring as perspectives shift.
