First fiction review

From a reader to a novelist.

Let me tell you, we are people who like to read fiction from junior high school to university, we are people who like to imagine nonstop until one day after graduation, and then a salaried man who keeps changing jobs, changing jobs like this, relocating to the point that each month's salary is not enough. Even if enough, we walk to the end of the month, but suddenly I want to make a novel for myself as a hobby and a person who likes fiction as a capital.

Let's try to structure the story, the main character and the secondary character, write the book out, and then start thinking about the content they like to continue the story, the first part of the novel on the web.

We didn't expect people to read, because the only thing we expected was to do and do what we liked.

What we didn't expect to encourage us to continue to write novels because people came to read them and introduced shortcomings to us to improve the story.

The peak of our lives is that we lost our jobs in the past covids, so it keeps us struggling to find new jobs from thinking that we have regular jobs and are stable for our lives, but it's been an incredible turn.

And then a lot of anxiety came along, so we stopped writing fiction for four years because of life problems, jobs, money and so much more.

So it stopped us from fiction for a long time, and the fire in us finally disappeared.

But then we try to rethink what we are doing now is something we love and want to have our own work. Every day we try to fill ourselves with fire and set the goal that we have to have our novel.

And today we have succeeded, even though it is not yet available, at least we are proud that we finished it.

This novel is based on the reading experiences of other writers, buying many more books and adapting their own fiction to this day.

The old year is passing. The new year is coming. We want to thank ourselves for having the encouragement to do it. To this path, how much merit is to not fall in the middle of the way before 🤣
