it was actually inspired by something that happened in real life ! not all of it is true, and the end is really a very big stretch, but that's how i got the inspiration for the story :)
2
definitely the ending and the middle fillers and stuff. including a lot of detail has been something i recently discovered i had to do more of, and that meant that some of my chapters would be quite boring and i had to find ways to spice it up without ruining the story.
3 ?
well i'm def not trying to be like rude or braggy, but people do seem to like it a lot ! apparently i have a fandom, and i actually have a wiki made by one of my readers. . . i feel really lucky that people enjoy it !!
4 ?
I enjoyed writing about my characters !! i loved developing their personalities, likes, dislikes, and more. trying to make them relatable and realistic was a big thing.
5
It can be read as a stand-alone, but i have a sequel and an upcoming book three that are in different perspectives!
6
the fact that maybe crazy things happen in stories, but maybe they could happen in real life too ! just keep hoping for it ! and also the fact that you need to talk to people to make up, that's how you solve things. oh, and don't judge people by their cover :)
7
just keep pushing at it ! if you don't love your story, love what you're writing, enjoy writing it, you'll never finish it because you don't like it. you have to know you'll love it throughout the writing process, and you may start to love it even more ! so take the time to come up with a plot not only your fans might like but something you will like !

8 ?
Yes definitely ! my main character is actually based off of me, and that makes her more relatable i think :)
9
oh, if you're aiming for a hit story on wattpad, definitely some sort of romance mixed with something else or just plain romance. most of us are teens on this site, and that means romance plays a big part in what we want to read. and for advertising, well i was lucky to have the amazing friends and supporters i have who checked out my book and loved it ! so i really don't have any advice for making your book be noticed ://
10
yes ! some will be kept secret, of course, but i'm currently writing the sequel to paper rings ( the one in a dif perspective ) and a new novel ( in the same universe ) :))

Beneath the Dragoneye Moons
Elaine is ripped from this world to Pallos, a land of unlimited possibilities made real by a grand System governing classes, skills, and magic. An ideal society? What is this, a fantasy novel? Adventures? Right this way! A Grand quest? Nah. Friends and loot? Heck yes! Humans are the top dog? Nope, dinosaur food. Healing and fighting? Well, everything is trying to eat her. Join Elaine as she travels around Pallos, discovering all the wonders and mysteries of the world, trying to find a place where she belongs, hunting those elusive mangos, all while the ominous Dragoneye Moons watch her every move. Hey! Beneath the Dragoneye Moons is my first writing effort, so please be kind, but don’t hesitate to point out the flaws. The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but it gets there! I’m going to be posting M-W-F I do know how the story ends, and I promise if it ever gets dropped, or I stop doing this, I will post the ending. There will be no random “this is the last chapter” out of the blue. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Dana and The Legend of Apollo and Daphne
She is the reincarnation of a Greek god's former lover. Did anyone bother to tell her? No... at least not until the god shows up at her door.I couldn't explain his features any way besides perfect. He was probably the most handsome man I had ever met. Something about him was familiar, as though I had known him for years.One hand still grasping mine, he moved his other into my hair, stroking softly. His warmth surrounding, his touch calmed me.I couldn't move. I could barely breathe. My mind was blank. It was like nothing I ever felt before. I was lost in his eyes, in his warmth, in the feeling that I was safe. At that moment I wished to stay forever. I also knew better than to remain here. However, my muscles went numb under the warmth of his hands. I couldn't move.I layed there him stroking my hair in shock for what in my head felt like forever. Eventually, he leaned down and spoke into my ear making my whole body shiver."My dear, I have waited for this moment for years," his voice was beautiful, strong and warm. Like the wind on a summer day. He had humor in his eyes and I found it extremely unsettling.There was something off about his tone. Almost like I was dreaming, but I knew it wasn't one. Something powerful and dangerous was in his voice... Ohhh no! This wasn't some random mortal standing over me. This.... this... this was a god...Credit to Rick Riordan for building such a wonderful world to put stories into and creating some of these amazing characters.
