I wanted to write something short and sweet. I wasn't really sure where I was going with it and just kept writing freely but was later inspired by themes of friendship rather than romance.
2
I think the writing style was the hardest thing for me to figure out. I wasn't really sure how I wanted to write or how I wanted to go about the storyline but I relaxed myself and decided the best thing to do was just write for me.
3
Probably creating the characters and their relationships.
I was very fortunate to have my story be positively received. I felt very supported and encouraged by the people who read it :')
stand alone
Not every story has to end with a perfect romance. More normalization of friendships between boys and girls that don't turn into love stories :')

Don't worry about trying to impress everyone. Don't attempt to mimic a writing style that isn't you just because other people like that writing. Write the way that feels most natural to you.

I think that April is a lot shyer than I am but I also think she's a daydreamer and she prefers to keep to herself so I think I can relate to her in those aspects.

People on this website generally seem to like sweet and concise stories that are easy to read and Lickety Split fits into that category so that's what mainly draws people to the story, in my opinion.
I have many! I have no idea where to start or when I'm publishing anything but I have plenty of ideas and stories that I'm in the process of writing and developing :')

Growing up and attending lectures filled with childish fantasies and regretful middle-aged men, it's a miracle that he got into Setro Academy at all.

On the day deciding his future at the prestigious Setro Academy, the sky changes and Victor and the rest of his club are thrown into another world.
