The Dream That Ignited My Writing Journey

The dream whispered, 'You are not a writer.' I replied, 'Then I shall become one.' The journey is not about where you begin, but the story you dare to tell."

Have you ever had an idea, a vision, that felt so compelling, it demanded to be brought to life? That's how my writing journey began. Like many of you, I've always been a voracious consumer of stories – fiction, anime, movies, comics, and books. No narrative was too outlandish for my imagination.

For years, I nurtured dreams of creating a story that would resonate with readers around the world. Then, one night, while re-watching my favorite show, Eureka, I had a dream. Not just any dream, but a vivid, fantastical experience that left me breathless. Upon waking, I scrambled to capture every detail: names, plot points, and an overwhelming sense that this story needed to be told.

The problem? I wasn't a writer. I had no experience, no connections, and no idea how to share this compelling narrative. It took me over a year to finally decide to take the plunge and write it myself.

I wanted to craft characters with depth and complexity, so I delved into psychology books. I researched real-world science and theories, weaving them into the outlines I'd scribbled down months before. What emerged was a sprawling novel series, born from my imagination – a series I believed deserved a chance to live. And so, my journey as an author began.

My debut novel, "Shadow of Ashes," hasn't yet reached the global audience I envision, but its reception has exceeded my expectations. I was a complete unknown, a self-published author with no platform. While I don't yet have the name recognition of bestselling authors, I have unwavering faith in my story.

The next installment, "Arise from the Shadow of Ashes," is now available. I believe it will captivate existing fans and attract a new, enthusiastic readership.

So, why did I decide to write? I decided to write because this is my story, a story I believe is worth telling. And I hope you'll join me on this incredible journey.
