1 ?
I saw a young girl talking to an elderly lady at a park. They looked like they were related but one had a British accent while the other had a Maltese accent. I started writing about them because I needed to. I was going through a rough patch, as was my best friend. She wanted to read... I wanted to write so it worked out perfectly! Eventually, the characters developed themselves and the story was written based on actual fears and concerns I have, had or actually went through / was going through / am still going through...

I can't answer without giving away any spoilers... But it was definitely knowing that I had to 'kill off' my favourite character... It was essential to the story but I just couldn't do it! It took me weeks and weeks to write and edit those chapters...
3
It is relatively a fresh release however the response so far has been great... I love it when readers either comment spontaneously in reaction to a turn in the story or provide constructive feedback as it gives me something to work with and improve for the next project.
4 ?
The Christmas Tree scene in Chapter 'Jingles.' I'm head over heels in love with Jeremy's fun side...
5
Stand alone... So far... ;)
6
Life keeps on happening. No matter what happens, no matter how bad things get, the human being is made to overcome, adapt and move on... And not necessarily on our own ;)
7
Write! Write! Write! Even if you don't know where your story is heading, just write until it comes to you... That's why there is the process of editing and re editing... But if you have an idea you like, keep at it!

Oh yes! Definitely my sense of humor and my insecurities!

I myself am always drawn to stories that are realistic and relatable. It doesn't matter what genre they are but I think as long as the author remains true to human emotion, people will read and enjoy! Of course, good blurbs, good publicity and being a genuine contributor to the community gets people to read and give honest feedback... Which in my opinion is what Wattpad is all about! That is why I think these shout outs and exposure interviews are such a good way of getting to know each other better!
10
Yes, I just started sharing a new novel called AFTER THE SUN SETS. It is different than THE ART OF STARTING OVER in many ways, as it is more serious, more daring and based on real people I know and love... yet it is a great challenge and I am looking forward to sharing this story with the Wattpad Community.

The Wise Old Dragon
What happens when a boy, raised on old stories, meets a dragon who is dreaming of his younger days? I will tell you, they spend their time doing chores around the farm and running away to far off lakes. That is until the boy is no longer a boy and the dragon is, well, he is still an old dragon. More importantly, what happens when a young man and his wise old dragon lose their small farm tragically? When the young man’s grief is not met with loving words from his mother or stern words from his father. And when the fires of burning buildings drive the old dragon to remember times that should be forgotten. What will they do? Maybe they will run off into the mountains hiding from all that would do them harm. Or maybe, just maybe, they will enter a world that has not seen such a pairing in a very long time. Join our story as we try to have the patience required for old bones to move and young minds to learn as disaster and adventure appear hand in hand. Friends will be made as well as enemies, battles will be won and lost, and some legends will be proven to be true. A truth that should scare all of Elleton.

A man once lived in a modern world, surrounded by the tragedy of humans, he was despaired. He did his best to ignore it. Did his best to hide in the safety of his own circumstances. But eventually the tragedy reached him. And when it did... it left a broken man, who was tired of the world and it's circumstances. He took things into his own hands. He would change the world. But this story isn't about that. For after all was done, the man dying peacefully on his own terms, he would have a new life ahead of him. Now unbound by attatchments and responsibility, in a completely new world for him to explore, he would make sure his new life didn't end up like the last one. This fiction won't be updated regularly due to my own circumstances and while I will try to update it often, I won't always be able to. That being said I hope you enjoy this little work of mine. I'm not an experienced, and don't consider myself a good author in any way. But hopefully some people will enjoy this fiction like I do writing it, regardless of that.
