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.

A Merchants Tale
Legends rise. Country’s fall. Empires wage war. But what supports these great powers, allowing them to function as a single organism. Is it the common man, Farmers and Millers forming the backbone of the land? The Soldiers and Guards keeping public order? The Wives and Widows supporting from the side-lines? The Nobles from their seats of power? Or the elusive Sorcerers who wield power untold? And what maggots crawl in this great creature, all trying to get a piece of its slowly decaying flesh. The gangs of the Underworld hidden in the shadows? The Bandits and Deserters hiding at the edges, ready to pounce on any weakness? Witches and Warlocks working their dark art? Or other Nations clawing at their neighbour’s, salivating over the riches they stand to gain from another’s demise. There is one group that belongs to neither group. They thrive on others misfortune and bring with them salvation and destruction in equal measure. They can raise a kingdom up or tear it down screaming and kicking. These are the merchants, the lifeblood of kingdoms, because what is the one thing above all else men crave. Is it Love? Power? Destruction? All these things can be acquired with one simple thing. Wealth. Wealth is the true power behind the world. Wealth can buy army’s, strangle kingdoms, and turn even the most devout man from his faith. Merchants come in many forms, shapes and sized, some gaudy, bleeding the people for all their worth, some tricky, preferring to make contracts and debts to trap men. And some desperate, doing all they can to sell even the most worthless of junk. This is a story of one merchant who goes against all a merchant stands for. He works not for profit but for some unseen goal, a prophesy aeons old. He comes and goes like a ghost, bringing with him hope and victory. All pray for his arrival to spare them from despair. But what about when he doesn’t show? What about the people he doesn’t save? For this man is no angel, no saint sent to save the masses. His goal was never to deliver hope. It merely isn’t time for their destruction yet. For nothing is eternal. And all things must end. But what comes after? Quick disclaimer in response to the review I got, this is my first story and somewhat of an experiment for me, hopefully my writing will get better the more I practice. Thanks for any helpful advice :)
