Author: 314 (Yang Chen)
 
After you confirm what genre and topic you wish to write about, it's now time for you as an author to design your settings and write the overall planned outline for your plot. As for why I'm putting these two elements together, that's because these two elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable.
 
When you're writing the overall outline, this is basically coming up with the story's plot. As you write the outline, what you're actually doing is fleshing out the details for your setting.
 
When you're writing a story, of course, you need to first consider where your story will happen, when it happens, who it happens to, and what type of person it happens to. As the story progresses, you also need to consider who the main character will meet in the story, what time and place he or she meets them at, along with who's stronger and who's weaker than the main character…
 
This is why by the time that you're finished with your overall outline, the world's background, various factions, levels, special abilities, treasures, all the important characters… and such settings will be naturally completed during the course of outlining.
 
The reverse is true as well. If you first work on designing the detailed settings instead, then you'll basically end up with an outline for the story's plot and how the main character grows over the story as well.
 
Of course, there's still some differences depending on which angle you start from. However, newcomer authors like you don't need to worry about this. You can simply create based on your personality and whatever you prefer. It doesn't matter whether you start from the settings or the outline. You can even do both at the same time.
 
For newcomer authors like you, there's only five points that are critically important for you to understand.
 
1.      Having an overall outline isn't absolutely necessary, but having one is always better than not having one
 
Theoretically speaking, even if you didn't prepare an overall outline, it might not affect the progress of you writing your novel at all. There are some authors out there that simply write whatever comes into their mind and go with the flow.
 
Of course, this is all just a best-case scenario in theory. For the great majority of authors out there, once your story's plot exceeds your planned outline... 

Your outline will help your story stay on track in the early stages, but once you reach the mid and late stages, all sorts of problems often appear, such as too many plotlines all at once, self-contradictory plotlines, or writer's block…
 
At such a time, authors will typically regret not creating a more detailed outline, but it's already too late now. Actually, overall outlines have more uses than you think.
 
Since webnovels are typically longer than normal novels, they take much longer to write as well. Typically, it takes an average author several months or even longer to finish writing everything in their overall outline. By the time that they're finish writing everything in their overall outline, most authors will have new ideas and insights into what they want to write. Once they combine their new ideas with their original outline, in a way, this gives them two sources of inspiration. It's basically the equivalent of two people working together, and on top of that, these two people know exactly what each other are thinking.
 
It's easy to see how this can be helpful in improving the quality of your novel.
 
Apart from this, while creating an overall outline, the author can also discover many topics or problems with the settings and correct them in time.
 
To give an extreme example, if you're having a great difficulty with writing your overall outline and don't know what to do with your own plot, this proves that there's a large problem with your plot. You should either make major changes, or delete this part of your plot entirely.
 
So, newcomer authors definitely shouldn't overlook the uses of having an overall outline. No matter if you have a good or bad outline, a simple or a detailed one, as long as you have one, that's good.
 
What needs to be noted is that only outlines that have been written out truly count as outlines.
 
Even if you as an author have a very detailed outline, and even if you've solidly memorized every single plot point in your outline, any outline that hasn't been written into your novel doesn't count as a true outline. That's because when you actually start writing, you'll discover that what you finally end up writing will always have differences from what you envisioned.
 
2.      You need to finish your outline, but it doesn't need to be complete
 
Thinking about your outline is equivalent to thinking about your novel's plot. You need to consider both the beginning and the end. You also need to think about everything that the main character experiences from the beginning to the end of the story.
 
If your outline isn't finished, but only half-finished, you won't even be able to predict the storylines that come later, which will cause you to have difficulties writing your plot once you finish the beginning stages. This is basically the same as not having an outline at all.
 
Still, there's no need for us to make the outline as detailed as possible from the very beginning, with so many specific scenarios for all your plots. The reason for this is quite simple—none of us know just how long our novels will turn out to be in the end.
 
A story that's written with the intent of becoming a commercial product needs to be sufficiently long enough right from the planning stage. The longer your potential story, the better. But actually, how many words it finally ends up with depends on how well your story performs.
 
If your story is incredibly popular and performs well in the market, then we can consider writing it for as long as possible. However, if your story obviously isn't popular with readers, then you can consider ending your story in a timely fashion at an appropriate point in the plot so that you can think of a new story instead. That would be a wiser decision if you wish to become a professional author.
 
Of course, when you're only in the outlining stage, it's impossible for you as a newcomer author to know how readers will react to your novel. Precisely because of this, you need to have a flexible writing plan. What this means is that you should have an outline that's detailed in the beginning and general near the end. For the beginning of your story, you should have as detailed an outline as possible, while for the middle and especially the later parts of your story, you only need some general ideas. All you need is to consider the overall development of the plot so that you know what direction to take your storyline in.
 
For example, maybe you planned that the beginning of your novel will be approximately 80,000 words, and you've prepared a 4,000-word outline for just the beginning. In that case, your outline for the next 80,000 words, the middle of your story, might only need 3000 words, and the meat of your story, another 240,000 words, might have an outline that's less than 1000 words.
 
Of course, as you continue writing your story, you should constantly update your outline as well. You should complete your outline for the next 80,000 words before you finish writing the first 80,000 words.
 
3.      Your settings need to be constantly updated

Just like writing an outline, you should first come up with the basic settings before you even begin writing, which includes your world background, main character's personality, power levels, and so on.
 
More specific settings, such as a powerful artifact that appears in the story, can be added as you write your story.
 
Unlike an outline, you don't need to fully plan out all of your settings at the very beginning. It's perfectly acceptable to think of new settings while you're writing.
 
However, newcomer authors need to note that while it's okay to come up with new settings as you write, you should write these settings down and add them to your outline or settings document as you write.
 
This is to help yourself check your own settings later in the future. Otherwise, a novel that reached over one million words and has lasted for one year or longer might cause you as an author to completely forget about something you wrote before in the past. It's even quite common to make a mistake when writing about the items that the main character possesses. Yet, there will always be a sharp-eyed reader or two that catches the author out in a misstep.
 
If you have a very detailed document on your settings, not only will you be able to greatly reduce your own plot continuity errors, you'll also be able to look through your settings whenever you have writer's block and find some inspiration in a side character that you have already forgotten about or some item that was mentioned before but never used again.
 
4.      It's better for your settings to be cliché
 
Here, this means the systems and names that you use for your settings. For example, the names and levels you use for a martial arts society.
 
Many newcomer authors will mistakenly think that using already existing well-known settings will make their novel seem too cliché, causing them to want to be as "unique" as possible. These authors will use their imaginations to come up with all sorts of fictional vocabulary words, which in their minds will make their novels "stand out." These newcomer authors don't realize that this is the worst possible way to write a novel. In the great majority of situations, this will have the opposite effect from intended.
 
A new original novel that you write should be a new interpretation or story about some specific genre or story type. How to make your novel stand out depends on the conflicts you create in your story and how the main character resolves them. As for coming up with new vocabulary words and names for your novel, even if you make them sound really cool, or make some modified slang words, it's almost never a good thing for you.
 
The reason for this can also be understood in my article about how to write the beginning of your story. By doing so, the author is placing more burden upon the readers to understand a larger amount of information.
 
There will always be other already existing words that you could have used, which are easily understood by all your readers. Instead, your readers now need to spend their time and effort on reading your explanations. Obviously, readers aren't here to read your technical manuals or info dumps. The more explanations that you have in your novel, the lower your novel's appeal and flow will become. But, if you don't add any explanations for your self-created words at all, the readers won't even understand what's going on.
 
This is why newcomer authors should avoid this useless type of "creativity" as much as possible. You should simply rely on settings that all readers are familiar with instead.
 
5.      The storyline should be pushed forward by using conflicts
 
Many newcomer authors will often develop writer's block when planning their outline or working on their novel.
 
Sometimes, this is because the author has made their storyline too messy. But most of the time, it's because the author feels like there's nothing to write about, or doesn't know what they should make the main character do. The author has no idea how to continue their own story.
 
In order to deal with writer's block, or in other words, how to push your storyline alone, the answer is actually incredibly simple.
 
You can answer this question using only one word – Conflicts!
 
Actually, the critical element of all webnovels can be summed up into one word – conflicts. For example, leveling is the desire or need of the main character to become stronger, which is a conflict between the main character and his or her own current weakness.
 
And since there is a conflict, you must resolve the conflict. And so, your main character wants to cultivate to become stronger, which means he needs to travel around the world in order to find cultivation methods…
 
All sorts of conflicts will both push forward your storyline as well as create numerous climaxes for your readers. It can be said that how you design your conflicts is the very foundation of writing any novel, not just a webnovel.
 
As for a more detailed analysis on how to design your story's conflicts, please read my intermediate-level article on the topic. For newcomer authors like you, you simply need to understand this concept, and know that you should keep coming up with new conflicts whenever you're having trouble keeping up with your own storyline. Try finding potential conflicts from plots, characters, and items you've already used, or forcefully introduce a new element into your story that creates a new conflict.
 
This can be said to be one of the most basic techniques of planning your storyline.

Su Yan's hands stopped moving. This wasn't bad for the start of his new story but … it seemed a little short? Could he add anything? Maybe some more descriptions of what the disciples of the Jin Shan Sect were doing on that stage? Or maybe their looks?
After all, Dou Fang Hai would soon enough wear the same robe. It would probably be a good idea to have the readers get to know them as soon as possible. Furthermore, wouldn't this also make the Jin Shan Sect more familiar to them? Since Dou Fang Hai would spend a lot of time there that couldn't hurt either.
Su Yan searched for the moment where Dou Fang Hai had called the woman on the stage over and she crouched down in front of him and added two paragraphs:
[Dou Fang Hai looked up at the woman and his eyes sparkled. She wasn't just wearing a white robe as he had thought in the beginning. Her lapel, the hem of her sleeves and her belt were actually embroidered with golden threads. Even the pin in her hair was golden.
He had never seen someone dressed like this in their Jin He City. But she really was very, very pretty. He really hoped she would stay a while longer!]
Su Yan smiled and rubbed his hands again. Ah, this was much better! Unfortunately, the chapter was still really short. Well, all romance novels he had seen until now had had shorter chapters anyway but even this slightly longer version of the chapter seemed to be shorter than that. So, what else could he add?
Su Yan pursed his lips and read over the thing once again. Maybe he could just add the test? Who said that that had to be a second chapter? But the test would probably be long considering that there would also be some of the disciples Dou Fang Hai would get to know better.
"Argh!" Su Yan ruffled his hair.
He really would have liked to just continue writing the next chapter and leave this one for now but how could he do that? He wanted to post it today already! He couldn't do that with only half a chapter, now could he?
"This is so stupid!"
Su Yan pushed his notebook away, put his arms on the table and placed his head on top before looking at the screen with reproach. This thing was obviously bullying him! Just how much was he supposed to add to get at least a short chapter?!
Mn, maybe he could write a bit more about the Jin He City where Dou Fang Hai had grown up? But most likely he wouldn't return there at all or if he did, it would only be for a short time. Was it really necessary? The Jin Shan Sect should be much more important.
He absentmindedly grabbed his phone to take a look at the time. Immediately, a message from the Lovely Writing System popped up.
"Mn?" Su Yan sat up straight and opened the system.
[Welcome back, host! Are you uncertain about how to write a specific part of your story? Then why not try a practice task?
Whether it is finding the perfect beginning, crafting an especially emotional scene or describing a setting in the best possible way, all of this depends on your skill. The practice tasks are supposed to help you develop these skills.
Just choose the skill you want to train and the Lovely Writing System will provide you with theoretical hints, as well as feedback to the practice scenes you write. You may even submit edited versions of these scenes to see where you improved and where further adjustments are needed. The final version that you want to use in your story can be graded and will generate experience points depending on how much you improved since the first version of the scene.]
Su Yan stared at his phone. This … was too good to be true, wasn't it? He would get a rundown on all important points regarding the beginning of a novel and then even get feedback? There had to be a catch somewhere!
Su Yan suspiciously clicked the button at the bottom and the system opened another window. The only thing displayed there was a list of skills he could choose from. The list wasn't long though.
Su Yan frowned. So that was the problem? The system indeed provided hints and feedback but the scenes he could use it for were just pitifully few? That made sense as well. It couldn't have been so … Wait!
His eyes grew round when he started to read the list:
[Parts of a story
Point of View
Descriptions
Emotions
Hot Stuff
Action
Dialog
Style]
Wait, wait, wait! Su Yan shook his head and looked again. These things were so … generic. Don't tell him these were just main categories? And he could actually …
Su Yan clicked on [Parts of a story] and indeed, the Lovely Writing System opened another list for him.
[Beginning
Middle
End
Turning point
Acts
Scenes
Hooks
Cliffhangers]
Su Yan smoothed out his hair and leaned back. So it turned out there wasn't a catch. The system really hadn't skimped on things he could practice. Honestly, he didn't even want to have a look at the other main categories or he might be too stunned to continue.
Furthermore … he had just wondered how to make a good first scene! This was obviously the same as the [Beginning] the system suggested him as a part of a story. What was he still waiting for?!
Su Yan clicked on it and the screen changed again to show a new message:
[Welcome to the practice task for creating wonderful beginnings for your stories! Please choose what you'd like to do:
Learn about the theory of creating beginnings.
Upload the first version of a beginning to get suggestions for improvement.
Upload an edited version of a beginning to get feedback.
Upload the final version of a beginning to have it rated and gain experience points.]
Su Yan didn't need to think. He immediately clicked on the first option. After all, he first needed to know what exactly the system expected to finish his own first version. Only after that would it make sense to submit it.

Su Yan always wanted to be an author. Being moved by his determination (Well, in fact, she was just an avid reader of his fan-fictions and wanted him to write full time …) official Shen Lu grants the aspiring author a system: The Lovely Writing System!
Finding a strange app on his beloved notebook, Su Yan is sure he has fallen prey to a hacker. But why is this strange app issuing tasks related to his favorite hobby? Wait … What? He is supposed to write BL?! And what is this shitty task about experiencing story immersion?! No! He’d rather not become an author if that means he also has to become a shou!

Follow Su Yan on his path to becoming the world’s greatest BL author … and to reluctantly becoming a beloved shou thanks to a shitty Lovely Writing System!

Release schedule: The story is finished.

Beginnings, one of the most important things we never really cared about unless we look back to the good old days. Without it there will be nothing. Big Bang?Births?Starts?. No matter what it is, no matter how unreasonable it is, there's always a beginning in things.Fo life has been known to exist  on earth millions of years ago. caused by chain reactions of astronomical events. but was that really the beginning of life? no one knows. But what I do know is that every beginning has a cause, and every cause has a beginning. It's almost an infinite loop....

I was thinking of what to write, what's the plot, what's the name of the character, and what is the purpose of writing it in the first place. And while i was thinking I just can't focus because of this random thoughts of mine. And in a bad mood, I just made the first thing that stands out from thoughts. And this is the result, this book. It's technically a kind of diary about my thoughts, random or not.

___________________________________

This book contains random things...
Most are my toughts.

It's really a pain in the back to keep yourself in check when having this random passing thoughts in your head. You thinking about chocolates may lead to thinking about crap(as in sh!t). Narcisstic thoughts about yourself can turn into thoughts about how useless piece of sh!t you are(happens to me all the time). Thinking about maths can(always) make you contemplate about life and the absence of it.

 This random thoughts, I'll make them be the fuel for the creative thinking of my brain, make this useless things to have their worth.
I'll take them to be my inspiration when I write this book.

Hopefully I do it right....

Warning: Be ready to read a trashy novel for I don't even know what I'm doing...

This novel is basically me trying to make sense out of my bizarre dreams and a wish fulfilment thingy... It's a chaotic mix... and some snippit of my real lifuh....

After coming back to his senses, Tang Qi began to think about how to write this review.
Should he reflect on whether his CEO should not be 'beaten' by others, or should he reflect on whether he should not 'beat' others.
After mulling over it for a while, Tang Qi looked at the few executives who were sitting in front of the conference table, staring at him with their eyes wide open He cleared his throat and said, "rewrite it. Write a review about how you regret beating others and how you cried bitterly in the beginning. You have to choose your words carefully and be sincere. You must be fully aware of your mistakes! 1,000 words for each of you. Give it to me in twenty minutes. "
After Tang Qi handed out the task, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
After dividing up the work and working together, the group moved very quickly. No one dared to delay for even a moment.
Half an hour later, Huo Jingchen received a new self-criticism report.
After sweeping through it from beginning to end, he furrowed his brows and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.
HMPH, shouldn't have hit someone Shouldn't have regretted it?
He only hated that he didn't hit her harder back then so that he could completely break Lu Qian's thoughts of her!
Huo Jingchen leaned against the back of his chair and stared at the self-criticism report on the screen. He was a little frustrated.
He didn't want to write. He didn't want to write a single word.
However, he understood Zhao Siqing. She had made up her mind to make him realize his mistake. If he didn't write, she wouldn't give him a good look for the next few days.
Thinking of this, Huo Jingchen spread out the white paper, picked up the pen, and started to copy the email.
After he finished copying, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.
Huo Jingchen looked at the few pieces of review that were scattered everywhere. His gaze was deep, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable.
In the end, she still had to seek justice for Lu Qian.
Thinking of this, Huo Jingchen's face turned a little ugly.
A few seconds later, he picked up the pen and added another line of words at the end of the last page. Only then did he feel a little better.
* 
The next morning.
Zhao Siqing woke up and played with her phone in bed for a while before she slowly got up to prepare breakfast.
When she walked to the living room, Huo Jingchen was still not awake.
She hesitated for a moment and softly walked to the side of the sofa bed that was covered with a snow-white duvet. She stared at him and sized him up for a while.
The man's eyelashes were slightly drooping, and they were exceptionally slender. His snow-white skin was like fine porcelain, without a single flaw.
His pair of Bright Red Lips were flirtatious and flirtatious, but they were indescribably seductive.
Zhao Siqing could not help but think of the kiss yesterday, and her cheeks were slightly hot.
Why was her rejection of him not as strong as others? Why did she indulge him time and time again?
Zhao Siqing felt that this did not look like her at all, but she did not know why.
Retracting her gaze, Zhao Siqing got up gently and covered him with the blanket, planning to wash up first.
But just as she moved, the man on the bed suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her directly onto the bed.
Before Zhao Siqing could react, she was already tightly wrapped in his arms.
Huo Jingchen frowned and pulled the blanket away, wrapping her in it. His voice was low and impatient, "where are we going? "
Zhao Siqing was stunned for a few seconds. Looking at the handsome face that was only a few centimeters away from her, her face instantly burned up and she was about to get up.
This was his bed!
Even if it was a sofa bed, it was still a bed!
Zhao Siqing only felt that lying on the soft snow-white blanket was completely different from sitting on the Sofa. It was as if she had entered his private territory for no reason.
"Huo Jingchen, let go. " Zhao Siqing felt that the hand on her waist was extremely strong.
It even made her wonder if he was awake at all.
"Huo Jingchen... " Zhao Siqing spoke again. Seeing that he had no intention of letting go, she retreated into his arms, intending to escape from his arms.

Huo Jingchen had a serious paranoid personality disorder, and Zhao Siqing was his psychiatrist.
Huo Jingchen had endured it for six years, but he did not dare to get close to her.
He thought that he could control himself well, but after just one meeting, Huo Jingchen's face was swollen by himself.
"Zhao Siqing is mine, her eyes are mine, and her body is mine. From head to toe, from inside to outside, her hair is mine! "

Double Love Letters, welcome to jump into the pit.

I just felt like I should talk about this.  I'm not dropping this novel to any of the little reader actually reading this.  I'm just barely inspired to write making me take a couple days before I write.  It also takes me a while to write a chapter with one of the main reasons being that I'm writing this on a phone instead of a computer where I can type faster with fewer mistakes.  


Another things is to tell people that I made some changes to past chapters making Gina, Noah's sister, have a daughter and a fiancé.  I then also phrased things differently when I looked back at certain parts of old chapters fixing grammar for some.

I'm using this novel to find techniques I could use to reduce writing things I feel like are redundant.
Lastly, when I think about writing something I'm usually thinking about other novel ideas I want to write, but don't because I don't want to ruin it with how I write the story.  This is why I made this novel, to practice trying to write a good novel.



I just wanted to tell any readers what I'm thinking about for novels.
here are my current ideas ranked by how much I really like it:
1. A novel like Vampire system(where someone gets a system that makes them non human)  I want to do that, but change how it is like to make it be inspired by it instead of a copy of it.  This story is going to be about a boy who gets a system turning him into a droconian basically.  He gets the ability to turn people into Fantasians.  A race that is made up of groups like werewolves and elves.  The setting is going to take place in multiple academies for some of the parts and the outside world in other parts.  There is many changes that I don't want to spoil, but I feel like it would definitely make it different from the novels like it(Vampire system and Great demon system).  The characters are going to change, but the overall mood and tone of the characters should still end up being similar to how they are at the beginning (this is just my way of saying don't leave when a character becomes too dark. Its just an important phase that should not appear again.)  This is the novel I really thought the most of and what made me want to write, but like I said I don't want to ruin it with bad writing.(this doesn't necessarily mean grammar)


2.This is like Legendary Mechanic, Monster Synthesis, Supreme Sage, and maybe The Game of A Blood Mage(player turns into a npc in a game they played along with getting sent back to before the game started)  The mc is mostly a mage.  He does some close fighting, but ultimately he should be an actual range fighter like a mage(he has almost all the abilities of a mage with a few extra).  He gets an exclusive class that allows him to use many element unlike normal mages along with unique ability other class could have(yes there are class that are like mutants/esper and basic classes that were in Legendary Mechanic and then more classes along with those)  This mc will not be monopolizing the players and will actually struggle against them sometimes (this doesn't mean that there will be players stronger than him just that there would either be a lot he has to fight, there are people fighting him too, or he has a disadvantage).  I'm not sure I want to add another part to the story with the mc becoming/gaining a trait related to a god of fear or if I want to make a separate novel related to this theme.  To make the starting world unique I felt like there being an apocalypse(I know there is an apocalypse in both).  There is going to be a zombie apocalypse that the mc is going to solve with him also not completely ridding the virus (he changes it to make it beneficial).

3.It takes place in a vrmmorpg.(This is going to be like Overgeared and Legendary Moonlight Sculptor)  At the beginning the mc completes a quest that leads him to experience a village getting annihilated.  The quest allows him to meet all the gods in the world.  Each major god is related to a class in the game along with minor ones related to the element types.  After realizing that the gods had the power to easily stop the slaughter at the village, the mc refuses the gods offer resulting in him angering them.  They punish him by erasing everything off of him and making him unable to get any of their classes and their variants.  This event with the village and the gods make him realize how bad of a human being he really is.  During the story he helps his sisters in the game and secretly as most of them do not trust him along with help his eldest sister with taking care of everyone.  He has to make his own path by getting inspiration from most classes in the game to make his very own allowing him to become a god.  For him to make his own class powerful he has to be talented and hard working along with someone luck.
These novels I really liked the ideo of it making me to want a story that is exactly as how I picture/thought it.  There are other novels I'm thinking about writing a novel like the God of Games novel, another novel where the mc is a god the makes a world and has to fight/defend his world from others like him [another idea is that mc becomes god of current/future earth and turns it into a world with a system, and an apocalypse novel.  This type I'm going to make more upbeat than the ones that I have seen/read.  The type of mood/ideology(this part is a kind of) really tires me out after 20 chapters.  So I will add more relaxing parts and pre-apocalypse semi-normalcy scenes to it along with not making the characters as grimm and dark.  They might be a little crazy though,  but not laugh from watching a genocide of people type of crazy.
(BTW, if someone does use this idea can you comment on this announcement its name so I could read it)



This is all my thoughts related to writing and where my inspiration for writing juggling between.  This novel I thought of to improve my writing.  This doesn't mean I want it to be bad, but just that I really want people to comment about improvements or parts/moods/themes/moments that was not that good in the story.  So I would really like some criticism for this novel.

1000 years ago, the world experienced a disaster when portals appeared from the world's energy expanding. This also leads to the creation of hunters, who go in and delay portal outbreaks.

 Noah awakens a weird non combat ability, Market, and a devastating penalty that makes him need 10x as much exp than other hunters to level up. Along with many other things that makes him unable to become a hunter. Or does this ability allows him to become the strongest protector?

BTW this is my first ever novel and I have many more ideas for novels, but I do not want to ruin them until I get better so please critique this for me to get better. Also expect slow updates(pretty lazy sometimes and have to think about how I want to write)
P.S. I do go back and change things a little(nothing to drastic. More like adding an explanation I forgot to add, changing a skills name, fixing grammar, changing sentences to make them be more interesting, or reducing what is considered normal if I accidentally raised something too high.)

Eden just lies down on her sleeping bag inside her tent, a flickering candle providing a dim light beside her as she flipped the pages of her journal in the beginning first pages to where she had written her first entries from when the zombie apocalypse began, how it started and when it started.

Eden's gaze was almost distant as she read the written entries again as she remembered those dark horrific time that happened so suddenly a year before.

She decided to write another entry to her recent one, reached for her pen that was there beside the candle, and despite the low dim light, she can see very well to read and write even in the dark.

JOURNAL ENTRY: DAY UNKNOWN, 8TH MONTH AUGUST, 2XXX

Hey, it's me again, Eden.

I had to write this down just so you can get the idea of how long has it been since I had remembered on when, where, and how this apocalypse all began.

It had all happened and started so suddenly that anyone including me wouldn't have expected it at all or was even prepared for it.

It was just a year ago that it all began.

Starting the first days when I first moved into this city, thinking that this place might be the chance I'm looking to have a normal life.  Me finding and living a simple apartment, searching and working in a normal job and so on as normal and simple like that.

But I didn't know that everything was going to change.

Just go to the beginning.

And you'll understand.

*****

Eden finished writing, put her pen aside and then flipped to the first pages again, reading the first entries once more before the candle goes out and she goes to sleep peacefully for another night.

Her mind wandered off as she read her first written entries again, remembering those times.

*****

A YEAR AGO BEFORE APOCALYPSE

Eden was so happy that she felt like screaming with joy as she finally putting the last storage box into the storage room inside her new and cheap apartment she's now living in, after moving into the metropolitan city.

She looked around at her space which is already filled with furniture and stuff and decently made up in a simple homely appearance.

She was happy at this kind of simple set-up for she isn't like most people who wanted to decorate in a fancy or messy way.

Once she double-checks everything and saw that everything is all fixed up and fitted to her satisfaction, she went straight towards her desk where a newly-bought big book is at the top and a new pen is there beside it.

She opened it, almost caressing her new personal item like it's a treasure and then started writing on the first blank page.

JOURNAL ENTRY: 1ST DAY, 1ST MONTH JANUARY, 2XXX

Hi! This is Eden, the new owner, and writer of this new journal.

I just moved here into the metropolitan city.  But I will not write here exactly where and who I am, because if ever I lost this book somewhere in the city whenever and wherever I bring it along, I'd rather not have some stranger find out even if it's a kind Samaritan one or something.

There are plenty of other journals in the world obviously, so it's not a loss that I lost this one, even if it's like a diary to me.

It's not like I don't care if someone did read what's inside it since it's just some random stuff I write in here about what I'm doing in my life, what my thoughts are and venting out my frustrations.

Anyway, I'm getting a little sidetracked.

I just found and moved into a new apartment, it's simple and luckily cheap.  And it's in a good neighborhood where I don't have to worry about coming home late at night and worry about some gangsters that are going to be roaming about the streets.

Not that I don't know whether there are in this city I moved in.  But I hope there aren't some here.

Seriously, all I want and wish for in my life is a quiet and peaceful normal life for once.

Since the beginning when I was a kid, my whole life has been noisy, hectic and a complete mess with me being someone used something like a punching bag verbally or used as an outlet from my own family's frustrations.

Don't get me wrong. I love my family and I do really.

But for once in the former past of my life, would it be nice for them to at least not try to use me as a verbal punching bag for almost all my life?

I have ignored them or tuned them out whenever they talked bad to me as if I didn't do anything good in my life, since my high school, college and now my first ex-job days.

Hey, all I want is just normal life.  That's it.

Simply put, it's not like I want to go anywhere if I had super-high grades or anything.

I don't want to be one of those people looking for supreme and high-end rich jobs that will provide so much for me and my family.

That's not me at all.

Sure, my whole family has been medium-poor in a way of sorts.  But it's not like we're about to go homeless so soon.

That's just me sounding a bit selfish for myself but I'm telling the truth here.

Anyway, I finally had enough and when I secretly saved enough money for myself, I left my family behind without looking back except leaving a simple note and then moved away to this city so that I can firmly become a sole independent.

Most of my life, I have been doing something for my life, it's just that my family didn't even consider listening to me or giving me a chance to show it.

Well, who cares about them?

As the saying goes, they'll reap what they sow when the time comes.

So right now, before I finish writing this entry.  I'm about to go to my new job, which it's only a part-time job as an office assistant in a small firm during the day and cashier at a small grocery store during the night.

Though it's part-time, I'm just content with that. I have enough money saved up for myself that's with me kept safe and hidden in cash and the one in my bank account.

I'm off to bath and get ready for work.

So stay tuned for more! (smiles, laughter)

I'm writing this in my journal to liven it up and lighten up a little.

I'll be writing my next entry and tell you how my first days go here in my new normal life at this new place.

*****

After Eden finished writing her first entry in her new book journal, she stopped and put down her pen and sighed and stretched her arms up high as if instantly tired from writing and then rotated her neck around to heal the strain she's feeling inside.

Then she turned her head to look at the curtained windows beside her and the desk she's sitting next to and slowly stood from her chair and went over to it.

Eden moved the curtains a bit, staring at the grand and beautiful view before her which is going to be usual and normal in her new life.

She wouldn't trade it for anything and if ever in the future that something goes wrong, she won't go back to her life before and keep on trying and moving forward to stay and live in the city.

Then she let the curtains fall back into covering her windows and she walked to her bathroom to shower and prepare herself for her new part-time jobs and start working in her first days living and working in the city.

Little did Eden know, it is that her whole life is going to change.

In an unexpected way that she had never expected and wasn't prepared for it.

*****

It was exactly 7 days later, right there in the same apartment at the same city Eden is living in for only a week now.

Eden came bursting through the door like a bomb just exploded from outside and she ran for cover in her apartment instantly.

She quickly slammed shut and locked the door with the double locks latched as well and she panted heavily as if she was running a long marathon.

Then Eden seemed urgent and panicked and felt like she had to write in her journal to calm herself down from what she seemed to saw or witnessed before.

*****

JOURNAL ENTRY: 7TH DAY, 1ST MONTH JANUARY, YEAR 2XXX

Holy Mary Mother herself and Jesus Christ himself too!

Sorry, I wrote this so suddenly that I couldn't help but do it.

I'm sure you're wondering why I'm suddenly writing and looking a bit frantic in this entry.

Well, something happened that I didn't expect it at all and I'm pretty sure that the people aren't as well when they saw the news and heard stories and rumors about it.

I don't exactly know when, where and how it happened.

But it did so suddenly that I wasn't even prepared for it.

This is how it all started in the beginning.

I'm writing it all here in my journal.

The first days of the apocalypse.

(Author's Note: This is a fictional story.  It is not based in real life at all.)

Hi everyone. So a person asked me a question in the comments section and when I wanted to reply I understood how much answer to that question means to me and what it implies. So I decided to answer here as a chapter. I will probably delete after a month or something, but comment wouldn't be enough to work as answer.
Question was :
"Hey mr merlin, I wanna know how do you get motivated to keep going on your story? "
And the answer is both simple and complex at the same time. Not many people around me know about my hobby first of all. After all, I started to write only to ... well... create a story I suppose? I always had these worlds brewing in my mind and so many were destroyed in the process of me growing up. Simply forgoten. And during summer I saw that contest on the webnovel about Harry Potter. And I thought, I don't like this Universe, but hey, I will write something that I can then read. And that was my dream. To make a story, I will read and enjoy...
And oh boy it was ridiculously hard. In the beginning writing chapters is easy, especially on summer, when you have nothing much to do, but the further you go the harder it becomes. On average I was spending 3 to 4 hours on every chapter.
But I suppose I digress. What motivates to keep going. My Will most of the time, to be honest. And also positive comments and reviews I see. They give me strength and let me know that my story matters. My work matters. Lately chapters are around 1k and believe it or not but every single paragraph is a struggle. Especially now, so far into the story. On every paragraph I am doubting everything. I am doubting my skills as an author. I am doubting the story, grammar and how enjoyable is the read so far. Sometimes, I can write 400 words in an hour and sometimes I spend 2 days to write 100 words piece. Chapter I am writing right now is being rewritten twice already and I am still not sure about it. One of the reasons it's not published. I have to review it and then publish.
And then of course there is a situation with negative comments and reviews. I know it's just a small part of the readers, but nonetheless it hurts. And it creates a lot more the of internal doubts that are eating me from inside. I am figthing them. There were mornings when I checked webnovel and saw new comments, only to drop back to bed feeling empty inside, because they were saying how bad novel is.
But you know, mate. I just keep working on it. I am improving all the time and I am doing my best to deliver best story I could with the tools I have. I think that improvements are quite obvious for those who were reading from the beginning of my fanfic. But maybe, I am just wrong and... Ah whatever...
Also, lately people started commenting more often(maybe story became more interesting?), which helps me understand that my work matters. This keeps me motivated. One such example was 2 days ago, I recieved a review from origi_fiend and it got me pumped up with positivity. And I wrote like 500 words in a few hours. Not much, but I was quite happy with that progress))) 
All in all, what keeps me really motivated to continue this story are my wish to see the story completed and your, readers, support (votes, reviews, comments). I hope that answers you question in full. And sorry that my answer was so long. It was just... I don't know... I saw your question and so many memmories and emotions just came to surface. I thought I needed to frame them into words. 
Damn... Now I am embarassed about what I wrote... I think I will just reply with the last paragraph...
*Sigh*
Naah...Fuck it. I am publishing it.  

Seems like the time has come for another party to begin. Let's hope this one will be a success. World - Potterian. Person - random.
