I honestly don't know! I just remember being in 6th grade (6 years ago), lying in bed, and randomly thinking of it - though it was pretty different back then!

I struggle trying to make it unique. It's so easy just to rely on the typical tropes and aesthetics you see everywhere, but I want to push further than that.
Either the imagery/descriptions, or the characters, because I've been writing about them for over half a decade now!! I also love doing world-building, especially coming up with mythology.
I have a certain small group of really supportive readers that comment on some of my works and interact with the stories and give me feedback. I appreciate that so much!
Part of a series - I plan to make two more books, plus I'd love to do a compilation just consisting of the different fairytales and legends told within the world of the story.
Well there is a moral to my story, but since it's not done yet I'd rather not explicitly say. However, messages aside, I also just want my readers to enjoy the book and have fun while reading.

Just write what you want to write!! Don't worry about what's most popular at the moment or what writing advice you've been given. A lot of trends in both plots and prose aren't necessarily timeless things, and you shouldn't follow them perfectly.
100% - I have 2 main characters, and they both struggle with emotional issues that I've also had at various times in my life.
I don't know what exactly readers are looking for at the moment, so I don't know, but if you like the 1700s England and France aesthetics, Norse legends, Romanian vampire stories, Korean mythology, or Brazilian folklore, you'll (hopefully) like my story!
Yep, I've got A LOT of other stories I want to write - 8 in total, plus a few other projects... ;)

THE SPACE LEGACY
-= New chapter every Wednesday! =- What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship? Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran who had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which allowed his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wants to spend some time in his grandfather's mountain cabin to unwind away from the drudgery of daily life with a cold beer in his hands. Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, a suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, terrorists... and this is just the beginning. What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens. Can he become more than he had ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be while righting a few wrongs of the modern world. He is sure of three things: 1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore... aside from his own. 2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him. 3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about will rue the day they were born. You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more. --- “Really entertaining, and a promising future.” - RR Reviewer “Good old sci-fi novel” - RR Reviewer “Sci-fi with a realistic MC” - RR Reviewer “Wow, seriously... just wow” - RR Reviewer “I'm hooked!” - RR Reviewer “A well crafted story.” - RR Reviewer “A Sci-fi Novel I can appreciate” - RR Reviewer “This is f....ing good.” - RR Reviewer -------------------------------------------------- Advance chapters available on Patreon -------------------------------------------------- The original art for the cover picture was made by N.

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.
