Hi, Ms. Ivory!
I've been your long-time silent reader in this community, and lately I've been re-reading your works because I just can't get enough of the rom-com dynamics between your female protagonists and male leads.
The very first story of yours that I read was I'm Their Matchmaker, and honestly, I did not expect the plot to go in that direction. It completely caught me off guard, but that's also what made it so memorable. Since then, I've really come to appreciate your writing style, tone, and voice. The way you tell your stories makes them so easy to get immersed in.
I hope you don't mind me asking a couple of questions because I've genuinely been wondering about them.
1. Where did you learn about the ABO elements?
I'm especially curious about the physical aspects like ruts, heats, childbearing, and other details that make the setting feel believable. Did you do a lot of research, or was it something you gradually learned from reading other works?
2. How do you organize your worldbuilding?
Do you keep separate notes for your lore, characters, timelines, and rules, or do you have another system that helps you stay consistent throughout a long story?
To be honest, your stories have reignited my interest in writing. I've always had lots of ideas, but actually turning them into a story has been my biggest challenge. Seeing how well you weave together romance, comedy, worldbuilding, and character dynamics has been incredibly inspiring.
If you have any advice for someone who's just starting to seriously write novels, I'd be truly grateful. Maraming salamat po for sharing your stories with us, and I hope you continue writing for a long time. Wishing you all the best, Ms. Ivory!
