Hello everyone!
Writing this novel for two months has been nothing short of grilling, but I've learned to enjoy the crisp pain, if that makes any sense. Waking up at six, starting the tea, sitting down on my awkward chair (which has been replaced since), and typing on my phone or laptop was the setup I had throughout the entire time I wrote this for the first time.
However, that has all since changed, and now I am writing this note with the proper gear, and I've never been happier. As soon as I slap the sleep out of my eyes, I sit down, brave enough to get work done. I've written a few other novels throughout my time back in middle school and even as a teen in high school, but now, with the amount of time I have outside of studying and all that jazz, I'd considered continuing and properly writing to become a full-fledged novelist.
It's not because I had nothing else on my plate but because I love writing and reading. If you ever ask when you realize that I'm an eighteen-year-old author and not some dude in his late thirties, I want to make this my entire life. I'd considered various times to make this novel a comic instead, but I've never kept the regimen of drawing every day to reach that point. I could never get the hang of waking up every morning to draft, tossing the draft into the trash whether it was digitally made or not, and turning to the next one.
Enjoy the accessible version of my novel, and sooner or later, I will post my second draft after completing it during the summer. Until then, I have been writing another book and have been for the longest time! This one is much longer, at least in the story, but I hope you enjoy Reverie and Nightmares.
During the novel, I sprinkled a couple of illustrations to captivate the 'light novel' aspect; it was a pleasure adding scenery to my characters and their lives. Of course, I could have hired someone else to do it for me, and I could've been on my merry way after writing for three hours straight. I wanted that privilege to be mine, not to be selfish, but this work is ALL mine.
Alongside this novel is Katie's Lullaby, which, yes. Readers, this story exists in the same universe, and so will all my other books, so long as I say otherwise.
Always a Pleasure.
