When I was kid I used to dream of being an author but things have changed over time. First of all, nobody really reads books these days so I highly doubt I’d get anywhere as an author of books. I also ended up with other interests growing up, which included video games and for a while wanted to be a game developer but these days I’m not entirely certain what I want to be doing so I just stick to doing what I know how to do. These things didn’t keep me from writing entirely; I had some things that I did want to create.
I always wanted to come up with stories when I was younger I wrote several of them. However, if I were to look back at any of them that I could find, well, they’re most likely complete trash. I’ve had many ideas come into my head but sadly I never finished them all. I would get one idea I thought was good and go with it until I got bored of making it. I never was interested enough to finish a lot of what I started. It wasn’t until I was in high school when I actually finished one of the stories that I started. At the time, I was sure it would only be a one time thing. I just happened to get inspiration from somewhere and was able to go all the way through with it. However, it didn’t end there. A friend of mine, who I let make corrections to the story wanted to be the author to the sequel and since I wasn’t really planning on making a sequel, I told him to just go ahead. But after he started working, I wanted to work on the series some more so I started getting my ideas together for third one before I eventually had to take over the sequel my friend wanted to write. It was at that point that I started imagining where I wanted the series to end up. I thought about pulling an Ace Attorney and doing a seven year time-skip but that never actually happened. The fourth story I wrote just ended up continuing where the third left off and this was the one I wanted to conclude the series. Unfortunately, I realized how hard it is to just let a series go like that and I started making a fifth one the following summer and planned to explain some points that weren’t previously explained. When I wrote this one, I felt like it was a bit of a mess so I knew I had to legitimately end the series or I’d just hate would it would ultimately turn into so I decided to give the series a real proper conclusion with a sixth story, also because I felt it would be weird to end after only five stories. And I did my best to make this one of the strongest I’d written. Afterwards, I planned to be done with that series but I didn’t want to stop writing. I still have ideas coming but actually getting those ideas down and going through with them has been rather difficult. I’ve got a new story that I’ve tried writing more than once but I never truly know where to begin or how to get it to take off. I just know what characters I want and only a few of the things I want to happen. This is something I struggle with as a writer and I want to do more than just my original series but am unsure if I’ll ever be able to. As for the series I mentioned, I will not be publishing anything I’ve written in the near future because they contain some actual real people (friends I went to high school with, mostly) as the characters. I might remake the series with original characters at some point, but I don’t know yet.
