"Everything happens for a reason"
A pair of starling grey eyes snapped open in the middle of the night. The moon was brightly shining and the stars happily twinkling . He got up from his bed , he had definietly heard a commotion on the ground floor...
Play the music above to soothe yourselves . You just solved a mystery ! Hey ! Thank you so much from the deepest bottom to the very brim of my heart for reading 'The Journal'. Now that you have read the Journal. I suppose you should know how I wrote it..... The idea of the Journal sounded very simple at first , a group of friends solving a journal which lead to a treasure. But as the plot evolved I realised the importance of a strong base acting as a platform to begin an adventure. It all began two years ago when I realised that all the creative ideas I had could be put into a book. Though I had very little hope in doing so. I was introduced to Wattpad on 23rd September 2015. And that is when the journey of my writing slowly progressed. Everything I wrote was derived from somethings that I never thought would inspire me. For example - The name Emilia was actually my Mum's middle name which she had told me about a few years ago. I never thought I would name my charechter that ! Or - The skeleton scene in Dr. Perseus' cabinet was inspired by a similar skeleton in my school's bio laboratory. I was surprised that a very insignificant skeleton could bring about change in my book. I had tried writing the idea of the Journal in different books such as 'The Mirror of Lady Carrie Darth'

but none of them worked out as I received only a mere 28 views in two - three months. But I didn't cease thinking of a way to write a mystery story. On a fateful day when I suppose 'the stars aligned' I was inclined to go the Internet and search 'How to improve your writing skills'. I went through many of the Web pages , most of them telling me again and again to read which I did every day. But one Web site gave multiple ideas and guidelines of which one of them said - 'Write a Journal' And all of a sudden it just clicked ! Why don't I write a book called The Journal ? Well that's how I got on with it. But before I got carried away I decided to ask for another fellow authors help - @esotericnova. She asked me a few basic questions like - Who is the Protagonist? How old is she ? What does she do ? etc. It was then I realised that an author needs to have a tightly knit plot for a mystery story. I was ecstatic when I reached 100 views and I continued writing until I finished. I thoroughly enjoyed writing the Journal. Some ideas just came up and I put them down. The Journal was not something I had planned but something of mere imagination that just cropped up like a plant. And it it received sunlight and rain from you all dear readers. You are the reason for it to grow and for in to disperse another seed 'El Tersoro' its sequel. I suppose it is right when we say Everything happens for a reason . Perhaps Emilia , Edward , Barbera and Nate were supposed to become the characters of the mystery story I dreamed of writing. Who knows ? Oh well ! I suppose I have just one thing to say - 'The Journal ' 'Everything happens for a reason'
