When I first started writing fiction, I had no idea how far I could go. I simply began—driven by my love for words and a small dream: to have someone read the love stories I created, to bring joy to even just one reader.
In between the long, exhausting hours of my day job, I wrote little by little. One chapter at a time, I learned and grew. I had no formal background in writing fiction. I had never read a yuri novel. I didn’t have sharp techniques or polished skills. But I had a heart full of stories waiting to be told—and I believed that was enough to start.
Along the way, I learned new words I had never used before.
I practiced writing poetry.
I experimented with tools like Canva to design my own book covers.
I found the courage to share my work with complete strangers.
And on the day I sold my first eBook—even if it was just a few copies—my heart swelled with indescribable joy.
Of course, there were times I felt discouraged.
When the view count froze despite offering free chapters.
When no one left a comment.
When someone’s words made me feel like my writing wasn’t worth much.
But every time, I asked myself the same question:
“Do I love this?”
And the answer was always: “Yes.”
That answer was enough to bring me back in front of the screen again.
I still publish my stories one chapter at a time, slowly building my reader base.
I still promote my work sincerely, even if most readers remain silent.
I still write poetry no one asked for—
Because it is my love. ♥️
I don’t know where this writer’s path will ultimately lead.
But at the very least, I’ve learned that taking action gives my dream a place to stand.
Even if I stumble, take breaks, or cry along the way—
As long as I can get back up and write again,
This dream is not over.
I’m not there yet.
But I haven’t given up.
And I believe every step, no matter how slow, still matters.
Thank you to myself—for never giving up. 💪
Thank you to every reader who clicked in, even just once. 🙏🏼
And thank you to this world, and to every platform that still gives me a space to tell the stories I want to tell…
