I guess I was inspired by my love of wolves, I first started reading on the episode platform then moved to wattpad and the werewolf stories fascinated me, since then I've started reading other genres such as romance and adventure. I've always loved reading, since I was a kid, I was always going to the charity shops to find a new book for 50p, I guess my love of books and my love of creative writing inspired me. I love the way with creative writing how you can shape and mold an idea in your head into words that can explain it in a completely different way. I'm going to move onto the next point now because this is a really long answer, whoops

The thing I struggled and am still struggling with is the middle part of my story, my story wasn't really planned, I had a beginning and an ending but the middle part- eh that's kind of rough round the edges. I've got the general idea, it's just trying to get towards the key points I want to include without giving away too many secrets and not boring my readers. I want to try and create a book that I myself would want to read. (Tbf id read a children's book of it was given to me)
The overall response has been good I guess. I have a handful of loyal readers that continuously praise the book with votes and kind comments that make me smile but aren't afraid to give me criticism.

I think I enjoyed writing the drama and exposing the secrets- it's the fun part. I'm looking forwards to the ending- hehe plot twist

It's part of a 2 book series. Royal rogue and Rescue rogue. So far only the first book is in the process of being written.

I guess I want them to take away the fact that you choose who you family is and even though people hurt you and lie, they may have a reason. If they don't then you can drop kick them. Be yourself no matter what- the message doesn't become clear until the end of the book. (Sometimes you keep falling because it's the people closest to you who are tripping you up and dragging you down)
Idk with this since I updated my book whenever I feel inspired - which is never - whoops I'm trying to get a schedule sorted but with college work being irregularly set it's difficult. Maybe just (1) accept criticism, not everyone is gonna like what you write or how you write and that's okay you've just gotta try and move forwards with that comment in mind, implementing it if you think it's reasonable and not just someone hating. (2) don't give up, there will be time when you get writers block or you don't feel particularly inspired, you feel deflated like your book and storyline is going no where, but keep at it, if you really want the book to do well, keep changing it, reach out to a few people, someone if bound to answer. (3) try and set up an area/time when you can sit and focus, whether it's 10 spare minutes a day or a couple of hours on a Saturday night, find some time you're free, relax and see if any ideas come to you- if not it's alright, try again another time.
Not really, the overthinking of her brain yeah but not really. If I was a werewolf shifter than maybe I'd share similarities to her
If a big account voted, people would see it on their feed and might check out my story or maybe if I won an award (very unlikely, I win nothing)
?
I have some books in my drafts I would like to publish when I figure out the characters and plot of the story, at the minute everything is rough ideas in my head. I didn't plan this book and because of that I've been writing it for over a year and am not finished. I don't want to start a new book until I get this finished

Myscreth
At its core, magic is just the ability to change the laws of nature. Mason Grant's life was going just as he'd always planned. Then a knock at the door changed everything. Normally, he would have considered Professor Anklin's tale of a civilization destroyed because it had learned how to manipulate the laws of nature crazy. Of course, that was before he saw his couch resting on the ceiling. Travelling to Myscreth with the Professor, Mason discovers a world of contradictions. On a ruined world, the Myscrethian people live much like the early American settlers, yet thanks to the ability to manipulate the laws of nature there’s unlimited electricity and powered flight. As Mason begins learning to control abilities he never dreamed possible, he discovers that not all is as it seems. Even as the Myscrethian people try to rebuild their world, there are those who seek to once again unleash the power which led to its destruction. And this time it's not only Myscreth's fate that hangs in the balance, but Earth's as well. Author's Note: This novel is now complete.

Heroes Die First
It was after World War Two ended; rumors spread of people wielding amazing powers or mutating into horrifying monsters. Seventy years later, heroes and villains dominate the news and battle in the streets, discrimination drives mutants into the criminal lifestyle, and the governments of the world are struggling to handle the rapidly shifting paradigm. Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)
