I had actually watched a movie where a girl had been kidnapped and it made me wonder what it would be like for her to go home to a family she didn't really know and what her experience would be like. It all stemmed from that small idea.
Something I struggled with was portraying Lorelai's feelings in a realistic way. I wanted her thoughts and feelings about what happened to her to be real and emotional. It was tough because it isn't something I can really relate to so I had to think it through carefully.
My favorite thing to write probably would be the scenes between Lorelai and Cooper. I just love how much he cares for her and watching their relationship progress into a real sibling bond.
I think the overall response as been pretty positive. It seems like everyone feels for Lorelai with what she's been through and there are lot of Cohen fans haha. Overall I love reading all of the comments on my stories and appreciate them so much.

That it's never too late to conquer your fears and let people in. It might be scary sometimes but it can change your life for the better.

Write, write, and write some more. Try to write as much as possible whenever you can. Even if it's just a sentence or two at a time, or even if you don't really like what you're writing, just do it anyway and edit later. Getting that first draft done is the hardest part and once it's done you can go back and fix the things you don't like until it's perfect for you

Not really, no. Lorelai is completely her own person in appearance and personality wise. I didn't think it would be fitting to put parts of myself into her character because it would make her less unique and realistic.

I believe the romance parts of my story draws in a lot of readers. As well as the growth from the main character, everyone loves a character who grows into the person they were meant to be
Currently I'm workin on a new story called Blood Curse. It's a vampire romance which is a bit different from my other projects but I hope people will like it as much as my other work. I also have plenty of ideas for other projects that I will be working on since I am stuck at home with nothing else to do during this quarantine.

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.

Rise of the Weakest Summoner
One fateful day, a caravan was passing by the village of Teira, which had been raided and set ablaze by bandits.

Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.
