Let's talk inspiration. Who inspired you or what inspired you to pursue writing? History? Family? Places or affirmations? 
          	For me, for a particular story it was a place. A place I used to visit with my sister a lot before she moved away. I missed her dearly and those visits diminished, I no longer went there to bask the inspiration. However, my story 'Hovea' had a huge presence in my life and for some reason I couldn't stop typing. I had many difficult days and tonnes of rewrites and editing but don't we all? I was talking to my pop once about this story and how it had been 4 years since I began, and he told me with a smile on his face that many authors take 5 years to write a book. This statement gave me hope. Perhaps, even after 5 years I can still publish my book that I've worked so hard on. 
          	The place I walked with my sister gave me inspiration for the story line but the person that gave myself inspiration, hope and dedication that I've adopted was my pop, IS my pop. Because of that I WILL publish my book one day even if I'm 92. My pop passed away not long ago and I lost my spark, my inspiration. It saddens me to think that he'll never read my book or laugh in ridicule  and tease me about certain aspects of the book but mostly I can't see his face when my book is published. I know he'll be proud and he'll know he was one of the reasons I kept writing. I never gave up.
          	
          	RIP POPCORN.
          	
          	So... What's your inspiration?

Fellow readers,
          I hope you are all staying safe and well during this pandemic. What a year 2020 was and I believe it's not over but I wish you all a beautiful 21 while we fight this together. 
          I must say, books have truly come in handy these days, to read and escape reality for a while. Even to write or read here on wattpad to pass the hours. 
          I want to make a book with my favourite wattpad books and I have a few but I need some newer suggestions. 
          
          Inspiration, great health and more,
          Montana.

I've been working very hard the last year trying to make 'Hovea' the best that it can be. I'll be updating the old book so please bare with me with all the updates. I promise it won't take long. The storyline is still the same for anyone that's already read it, I've just improved my writing since then. 
          
          Lots of inspiration on its way,
          Montana

I’ve honestly been lost in my story for a while. Should I add this, should I add that? Yet I had already completed and fully edited the book. So from the inspiration a nearby bushfire brought, I decided to stick with the old idea and add a whole new chapter somewhere in my book ‘Hovea’. And I do apologise to all that have read almost the entire thing as I only have 3 chapters to publish. 
          
          I started writing the scene tonight. So tomorrow you’ll see a lot of me... Again. Whoops! Not much has changed in the book, just this one scene! Please bare with me and don’t hate me!! 
          
          Heaps of inspiration on its way.

I visited my favourite place today. A place among history. The beauty, the remoteness, the air and the awe inspiring scenery. 
          
          A place I gained the inspiration to write a story I’m so connected and devoted too. 
          
          The National Park trail was one of the places I never believed I’d gain enough inspiration to write a book and yet here I am. 
          
          I want you guys to discover what wonders this place contains. From the waterfalls, the infamous tunnel, the gorgeous granite rocks and a trail stretching for miles.
          
          If my book ‘Hovea’ gains enough interest I might create a book showing you guys the pictures I captured. What songs I listened to while writing and editing and perhaps some history about such a wonder. Not to mention what I got up to as a child in the place many call Hovea / the National Park.
          
          
          
          
          The purity and simplicity of such a wonder greeted me as I continued on the path of oblivion. A time to reminisce on events that happened over one hundred and seventy one years ago. - Hovea.

⭐️ Chapter Two is out ⭐️. This book is a slow start but I believe the detail is a key importance to this book to capture the true meaning, the true feel of the place Hovea is set in. A National Park. 
          
          In this chapter the main character sees her lost love once again. However to remember seemed impossible. Will his first impression rattle her or make her stronger?

Just 10 more chapters to edit and publish and ‘The Psychotic Love’ will be finished. It will be a bittersweet moment but I hope it was a good one... I highly doubt that. 
          I rarely ask for a vote but if you truly enjoyed Felix and Eliana’s bizarre adventure, it would mean the world to me, and many more people can experience a different kind of love. After all who couldn’t fall for a handsome, mysterious, depressed boy, with many secrets ;). 
          
          Anyway I hope this story wasn’t a fail and you guys actually like it. This will be one of the few authors notes I’ll ever write for this book. I’m not good at small talk (laughing face). 
          
          And as this story comes to a close, I would love to thank the first few people that voted and commented.
          
          Have an amazing day, keep writing and reading.
