I think it was all those years of playing D&D as a teenager.

When I started creating my world, I struggled with organizing my notes. I worked on the book over twelve years before I started putting fingers to the keyboard.

The character's evolution. I loved watching the characters developed unique personalities.

Everyone that has read it loves it. I haven't received any negative feedback from those that have finished the 1st book.

The Gathering is the first of three for this series. I have further books planned that will continue, and because of feedback from readers on Wattpad, I have decided to go back and write prequels.

I want the reader to come away feeling fulfilled and needing more. I want the characters to be memorable and make a lasting impression on the reader. I want people to like it so much, and they want other people to read it.

Don't stop writing. Find time, even if it's 30 minutes a day. If you are using Wattpad, listen to the readers and make edits often.

Not really. I can't think of any.

I feel like my story is unique because I spend a lot of time exploring the antagonists. I want the reader to see both sides of the story. Why is the villain the way he is? The villains need to feel justified from their actions, right?

Yes, definitely. I am currently working on book two, The Hunted, as I continue to edit book one, The Gathering. I have plans to continue the series for as long as I have ideas. I've thought about following the next generation and even going back in time and doing several prequels.
