Since grade 7, I've aspired to become an author. Over the years, I've managed to get seven of my writeups published, but my ultimate goal has always been to write a book. Rather than putting pressure on myself to come up with an idea and set deadlines, I patiently waited for inspiration to strike. It wasn't until last year, during a conversation with my father, that I finally found the perfect concept for a short novel, which could possibly be part of a series. I titled my work "The Fireflies" and after fleshing out the idea and creating an outline, I began writing in September 2022. 

My plan is to finish the first draft this month and start the publishing process by 2024. Fingers crossed for a successful outcome.
