Well, it was some emotional struggles that I had during the moment I made a decision to write. One of my characters resemble someone very important in my life, and each time I recalled some things about him it, made me want to immortalize his character. (Unfortunately he's more). It was probably my way of dealing with the loss. However, I can't even tell how I came up with the story LOL.
2 ?
(Sighing) I was still an utter amateur when I began writing this story. My vocabulary was poor, I made several grammatical mistakes, typos, and many other writing mistakes. It was my learning point, I can say, that thanks to WATTPAD I got to receive some feedbacks from the readers and my fellow writers; that by now I can say I'm proud of my improvement. Also, like I mentioned before, this piece is quite sentimental for me, hence I had quite an emotional struggle while writing. Some aspects reflected my real life experiences, so it would get tough at times. Oh, and that famous question; WILL THIS STORY BE AS INTERESTING AS I WANT IT TO BE?
3
Frankly, I was so awed at the readers' response from the very beginning. I had no room to feel awful about my work, so I thank God for that. Even when it was a poor skeleton of my idea, I still got encouraging feedbacks, which is the reason why I try my best to polish it everyday as I keep receiving both constructive and blushing-worth comments
4
Everything! I absolutely enjoyed everything in my book. Oh well, that's too general, right? Haha. Seriously, I loved writing about my characters, their lives, strengths, weaknesses; so it quite an interesting journey. I also loved writing about Montana, which is like the main premise of the story, as it's one of my favourite places in the word. I love reading books, History, museums, so it was all fun writing about the stuff.

It's a piece of a series called THE FOUR SEASONS. As you can see, I've started with THE COLDEST SUMMER, which is the BOOK 1. And there's THE WARMEST WINTER, the BOOK 2. There will be two more books to finalize the series.
6 ?
Love. Friendship. Forgiveness. These are the three things that I'd love for anyone who read my book to feel and take. We all need to love and be loved, even if all hope is gone; there's surely your soulmate somewhere. Oh, it doesn't need to be a romance. Even the love of a true friend, the love of a mother, they're all what we need. True friendship is hard to attain, but if you have it, keep it. To forgive and be forgiven is as important, for we all make mistakes.
7
Be the character. Wether they are good, bad, horrible, insane; try to be that character when writing about them. That brings the story to life. Also, love your story; we all excel doing what we love, right?
8
Haha YES. I can say I was emotionally seeing myself in her. (Hey, not entirely, huh?) I'm a cryptic person, and perhaps I automatically made her be like me.
9
is it weird that I don't know for sure? What makes people read a book? Is it a good cover? A blurb? Reviews? Promotion? I swear I don't know haha. I think I'll pass this question and I'll start thinking of this
10 ?
Oh yes! Although I still have to finish the current one, as the series is incomplete. But I'll definitely have more books to come.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
