Hello guys! I hope you are doing well. This time I will tell you about my personal experience. I love writing (not really writing, but it's like that), especially writing fiction stories.

At first, I just liked reading stories on apps or books. But sometimes I find mismatches, for example like this ; 1. The character is good (i mean handsome or pretty), but the character played is not suitable ; 2. I found a story, the character is good, the character feels, the plot is good. But the ending is not what I want T_T ; 3. I found a story, but the plot is hanging! Aaargghh I really hate hanging plot. Fyi, hanging means the plot hasn't finished yet so I don't know what the ending of this story is ; 4. If the story I read wants to be published and then I don't have the money to buy it T_T. This hurts my heart💔.

Well, I finally decided to make my own story, YEAYY!!! The story is the same as what I want, and of course I will finish it. Although sometimes I'm really lazy to write the sequel, but the next day I gather the intention again! By the way, do you want to know the twists and turns of being a writer? It's not too exciting, but maybe it can be an inspiration for those of you who want to start writing stories. Maybe it's a bit long, but I hope you enjoy reading it.

First of all, how did I think of writing a story? Well, the answer is based on what I mentioned above and when I wrote for the first time in 2020, when I had not yet entered high school. Since I didn't know what to do, I finally decided to write!

Second, don't know where to start? The answer is definitely I'M CONFUSED PLEASE! I used to have absolutely no idea how to write. I didn't know how to write, how to make the plot connect with each other, how to make the reader interested in my story, how to write the correct EYD, and how to string the words together. I was like an idiot the first time.

Third, what is the most difficult thing about being a writer? This is my opinion. There are many difficult things, but these are the most difficult for me ;

1. I like to be confused on how to organize words.

2. I don't know how to think about the cover.

3. Confused how to make the story flow and not create a vague storyline.

4. Wondering who will be the lead. But since I'm a kpopers, I used an idol cast. I personally think this makes it easier for myself, so it's like getting inspiration "I know this idol, she has this trait and her face is supportive", "why not just use the Asahi (Treausre) cast? He is agreeable", "then just use Aisha (Everglow), she's cool, her traits match what I want to portray" and many others. Honestly, it really helped and inspired me!

5. Can't decide on a character name T_T. Seriously guys, I'm even more confused about the cast name than the character or the plot T_T. Because, I personally want my character's name to be unique and different from the others. I even searched on google, pinterest, and asked my friends to determine or compare which name is suitable.

6. don't know how to end my story.

7. This sometimes makes me sad. There are a lot of people who read my story, but those who vote and comment are very different. More people read than comment, I mean, I've already written it, I'm tired of thinking about the plot, thinking about everything and they don't even give feedback. Yes, writing is my hobby, but if our work is appreciated, we're happy, right? Then we get excited!

8. His is the last one but the hardest one to do, which is diligently updating. I've already found the idea and know what I want to do, but I'm too lazy to write about it T_T. So, I have to get rid of this laziness and it's hard guys.

Fourth, how to overcome it? Well, the answer is to look for references, ask those who are more experienced, find out about writing, you can also follow social media accounts related to story writing, or join a community of story writers or safe chat groups. Times are sophisticated, take advantage of it guys!

Fifth, honestly the first time I made a story, I was afraid that no one would read it and get negative comments. If anyone reads it, they don't pick my story and make me lose my spirit, but one day I ask my friend and he says, "the point is, you (the writer) have to be consistent, let it be if your story doesn't read, but you have to finish the story that you've made to the end." And that's proven to be true until now. The more episodes of my story the more I read, the more excited I am to continue the story!

Remember yeorobun (guys), don't be afraid to fail. Your failures will lead you to victory. Your passion will lead to many achievements. Everyone wants to do their best, and I'm sure you want to do your best too. If you are not confident, try to slowly increase your confidence. Step by step, everything needs a process. Everyone's process is different. But, trust me, if you do the process with passion, good intentions, and consistency, the results will be much better!

By the way, I made a fiction story. If you are looking for a story with a mystery theme, you can read my story~~~
