I have just read your story. What inspired you to write it?

It took me about a month. I worked on it a little bit every day.

My own life experiences inspired me a great deal. For example, the places I've visited and the people I've met often find their way into my stories.

I was inspired by the rich world of Harry Potter. There were so many characters and stories that could be further explored. I really wanted to create my own story within that magical universe.

My inspiration came from a dream I had. It was a very vivid dream with amazing characters and a strange but fascinating plot. So I decided to turn it into a story.

I started my writing journey when I was in elementary school. Our teacher assigned us to write a short story about our favorite animal. I chose a cat because I had one at home. It was a simple story but it made me realize how much I enjoyed creating something with words. Since then, I've been writing more and more.

I got inspired by the people around me. Their unique personalities and the things they do every day gave me the idea to create this story. It's like a mosaic of different characters and events that I've witnessed.

You can get inspired by reading a lot of different books and observing things around you. Maybe a beautiful landscape or an interesting person could spark your creativity.

In my first novel, the character development was the most challenging aspect. I wanted my characters to be complex and relatable, but it was hard to give them enough depth without making them seem too over - the - top or unrealistic. I had to really dig deep into their backstories, motives, and personalities. I read a lot of books on character building, studied real - life people, and revised my characters over and over again until I was satisfied with them.

For me, it was my mother. She is a cancer survivor. Watching her battle through the tough times made me want to be part of the Race for Life. I saw how strong she was, and I thought that by participating, I could give back and support others going through the same. It's a way to show my love for her and all those fighting this disease.
