Breach of privacy is a very sensitive subject and is punishable under court of law. Well, I'm a lawyer and crimes inspire my mind in the best of ways. Cyber bullying just happened to be one of those subjects I always wanted to explore as a writer.
The character build up and the structure. I had to make sure that I was writing something believable and relatable. I'm a realist writer and I always plan on bringing stories on survivors to the table.
I enjoyed living vicariously through the story, after a moment, the characters and the plot seemed so vividly real to me, I was lost in that world. Besides, I personally love exploring darker themes, they help me understand people and grow as an individual.
It's absolutely unbelievable but I've not had a single person come out to tell me point blank that my story isn't good enough. It's surprising yet deeply satisfying. I always seek criticism to sharpen my edges and I'm still looking out for my readers to help me serve them better. The response has been totally amazing and I'm beyond grateful for that.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure about it. I tend to think of it as a stand alone novel but who knows? It will probably depend on my mood. Sometimes I do tend to take decisions in a whim and decide to continue a book.

A lot of messages actually, issues like cyber crimes, breach of trust, bullying and basic legal procedures. I'd like my readers to take the message that whatever doesn't kill you, certainly makes you stronger. Life can fall apart like a house of cards but you will stand right back up and roar like the lion that you are--there's just no other choice.

My advice would be to focus on the rather more technical aspects of the writing. Sure you have a brilliant idea and you have so much to tell, but what's a book without good adverbs? You don't want your editor scowling at you when they read your script. It's not pretty.
A few of them yes, I particularly relate to one of the protagonists named Ella, she is smart, broken yet downright rational. I think she got those traits from me.
?
The fact that my story is based on a gossip column that exposes all the secrets and deceptions. I believe it will draw more readers in. Who doesn't like a good mystery thriller that's easy to read? Plus, don't forget the romance. There aren't many things my readers won't relate to except the obvious aspects such as the murders.
I do, yes. I absolutely revel in the joy of weaving intricate stories but I'm still working on updating #Exposed so, I'll keep my future project as a secret for now.

The Final Test
Earth was overtaken by the Calumnia ten years ago and if it weren't for the alien Occisio race who saved the remnants of humanity, Indi's race would have gone extinct. Now, at the age of sixteen, Indi and the other surviving children are about to complete their training and return to Earth to kill the monster that destroyed their world and killed their parents. However, the children on the Occisio's spaceship have been dismissed one by one in training tests and only a few of them remain. Will Indi prove himself skilled enough to become a soldier? Or will he fail humanity as his parents did? This short story (in 13 parts) is a love letter to fans of Ender's Game and Maze Runner. (I may eventually turn this into a novel but for now, I hope you enjoy this 10,000 word story about hope and overcoming one's weakness.) [This story will appear on other websites as well, such as Wattpad and Royal Road.]
