1 ?
I Like to take inspiration from stuff that has occurred in my life, such as someone I have met that made a huge impact on my life thus far, or different scenarios I had during school. I'm also a fanatic when it comes to Mystery involving romance so I thought why not give that a go by adding implements of what is happened in real life for it (mainly with romance, not a lot of mystery in my life haha).
2
Being able to show instead of telling. I think a huge amount of writers struggle with that, but its a learning curve and I'm glad to be getting better at it.
3
Amazing! It's such an awesome feeling to have people message you asking for the next update or to simply say "your book is one of my favourites so far"
4
I enjoyed writing how the characters evolve and the friendships that form throughout it even if there's crazy drama going on at the same time!
5 ?
It is a stand-alone novel, I thought about it being a series but I felt it would be bittersweet to leave it as a stand-alone.
6
That it is important to let yourself grieve and share your emotions with people that you trust and love you, because at the end of the day if it's friends or family, they will always be there for you. "It's okay not to be okay".
7
To keep writing! If writing is something you're passionate about DON'T STOP! Even if your story you love so much isn't getting the attention you want right now don't let that deter you. Writing should be something you enjoy for yourself and something you completely get yourself Immersed into, be your own fan, keep practicing and improving, one day that will all pay off.

Not a lot haha, my main character is quite feisty and isn't afraid to stand up for herself whereas I'm the opposite. I guess one similarity is we can both be quite awkward when it comes to guy crushes and our love for food of course.
The plot and cliffhangers I use. It has a bit of everything, Mystery, Romance, humour! I like to keep my readers on their toes with releasing some new information with each chapter about what is going on but leaving out enough to make them question WHAT IS HAPPENING!
10
Yes! I have another Mystery romance novel coming out after I finish this one the main character will be more suited to my personality but that doesn't mean I still don't love my Dawn (a character from my first story) and I hope to write a fantasy romance one in the future too!

Dex's Adventure Through The Elemental Nations (Completed)
Clair/Dex is bored of her first life, so she/he decides to end it and see what happens after death. But his/her system has an update and new possibilities arise. Now he/she's going to live as Naruto with some extras, but was it the right decision to change the childhood difficulty from Normal to Very Hard? Read it yourself and see what changes Dex will bring. Here comes the chicken eating and crazy being called Dex. We all hope the Elemental Nations are ready for him. --------------------------------------- My second story, hope it will have a better start than the first one. Clair will be OP, just not as OP as previously. She will also start fairly weak, cause she is a baby..... Have a funny read. There might come more tags, like reader Interactive or Romance, but again I'm not sure. Don't know if I have to say it, but I don't know anything from the Naruto Universe, I only own the new things I introduce and naturally Dex.

Chains
Eric Bane is one tough thug, but even he's not immortal. After a deadly ambush, he falls unconscious only to awaken in a castle preparing to meet a king. He was apparently summoned to a parallel world of fantasy to act as a hero who wields one of six Divine Weapons. However, being unfamiliar with video games, he doesn't see the new world the same way the other five do. After being framed for rape, Eric ends up hobbling out of the city with no money, no party, and draining motivation. However, if there's one thing that Samson is good at, it's spite. If the world is going to kick him to the curb, then he's going to beat the shit out of the next person he sees to get back on track. As Eric grows stronger through a natural progression, he slowly discovers the hidden history of the world and the dark secrets of the Church of the Trinity. And while some might wait for the right moment to strike, Samson isn't one for patience. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is a story that I've already gotten pretty far with, but I want to release it slowly over a few days to see what the critics say. I haven't finished it, but I've got a general idea where I want to go with it. Maturity for violence, sexual themes, and slavery. No outright sex or nudity, and there is no cruelty exhibited towards slaves. Tell me how you like it.

Vastmire and the Planet Longan
Seasons have passed, and the countries around the Tamarind Sea have enjoyed the longest stretch of peace they've ever experienced.

Instead, they'll spread tired rumors, peddling lies as if they were truths, immortalizing Mint as something he's not, someone he knows he never was. The knowledge eats away at him. Unable to take it anymore, he's begun writing a journal with the full intent to discuss everything that happened to him all those seasons ago, dispelling his old feelings of being an imposter in his own body. But will people still think he was a hero after reading it? Or will it be dismissed as the work of a liar, a senile old man lost in his own past?
