Hellooo! ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ
This may be cringy, but I'll say it anyway…
I really appreciate everything you guys had done, and I mean it from the bottom of my heart <3
Your support (taking the time to read this, sending power stones, commenting, etc) is what keeps me from giving up on writing.
(Uhhh, get ready for some of my VeRy cringe storytelling about me haha.)
Someone I'm close to introduced me to Webnovel a few years back (I believe it was about 4 years ago). Back then, I wasn't that interested in novels, so the account I made (I forgot the password -.-) was pretty much forgotten. I mainly read webtoons, mangas, and manhwas (I read these, mainly manhwas, daily for years now O_o).
Anyways, during quarantine, I began reading novels! I created another account on Webnovel and tried reading "Supreme Magus" because it was ranked first at that time (I had no idea what I wanted to read first lol; I just read whatever that was ranked the highest—), but my dumb brain couldn't handle it since, in every paragraph, there are at least two or five vocabulary words I don't know ToT. The first novel I read was called "Nanomancer Reborn," by Reili. I read a few hundred chapters before taking a break.
Guess what made me write this novel? Is it…
A.) I like writing.
B.) I was inspired.
C.) I just felt like it.
D.) All of above.
E.) None of above.
F.) I don't know, is that even a question?
G.) Other.
Answer:

*Ahem.
It's embarrassing for me to say this, but ummm… You know how some people just had to try out everything? Well… I'm kinda like that.
Ever since I began using Webnovel, the "Write" icon kept on staring at me, y'know? It's saying, "Press me, press me!" Of course, my curiosity got to me andddddddddd I created a novel. I thought I could delete it, but I found out that I couldn't. After reading what other authors wrote, they inspired me, along with the boredom of being in quarantine and wanting to try out something new, to write my first novel, which is this.
When I first started, I was fired up and all. I even created as many as ten chapters in just a week. Now that I think about it, how could I have all that motivation and time to do such a thing? I always hated ELA classes (I still don't like them, but they're not that bad). Never in my life had I thought of reading, much less writing. I guess remote learning, quarantine, and my boredom played a role.
I wrote quite a lot xb. I was very surprised at how many people read and saw my novel. The positivity from the community allowed me to continue to write, even though my writing isn't good at all. I'm very grateful and glad that this community doesn't have much toxicity because my rising eighth-grade self probably couldn't handle it. To be honest, I never really planned anything out. I just wrote whatever popped up in my mind, which is probably why I have writer's block at the moment.
School is starting again in less than a week. I don't think I can focus on writing much because I have many big exams coming up. The regular classes would be a breeze, but the APs, SAT prep, and my AMT General exam (important aviation stuff)… They're stressing me out, sucking the living hell outta me ahhhhHHhhhH!!! Despite all these, I'll try to write during my free time, when I'm motivated.
I think the biggest problem for me, as a writer, is forgetting almost EVERYTHING about what I wrote. You know how I took like very very veryyyyyyyyyy long break? It's okay if you don't but yea. I took a huge break and began writing again in the summer (2022). After the break, I went back to writing. I know how messed up the stats are. Nothing is organized, and it bothers me.
As I said before, I don't remember much of anything I wrote. I said that I would try and finish editing all the chapters by the end of this year, but let's be realistic. By how my pace is going right now, I don't think I'll get the editing done even after two years. Rereading, going back to the chapters I wrote, and editing them isn't something I enjoy doing. Editing one chapter takes me a long time (takes an hour or so, depending on how long the chapter is).
That's whyyyy, I want to try and solve these problems. It'll be great if you guys can share what you think about my, I guess you can call it, "solution."
My solution is:
I'll reread/glimpse through each chapter and create a summary for each chapter.
My More Realistic Goal:
Summarize 10 chapters and release them every one or two weeks (if I summarize at least 10 chapters every week, I'll finish summarizing all the chapters I released so far by the end of this year, 2022)
Thanks for reading all this! I'm extremely lucky to have you all as my readers! Just a heads up: I'll never give up this novel as long as there's someone—anyone, who's willing to read it.
