So... I wrote an entire book.

Yeah, no... Seriously. An Entire 150 page long first E-book (on Amazon kindle) in a series that will last a few volumes. I've never done one of these before... And for a 16 year old, a lot was on my head...

But here we are.

Go check it out!

here

It features the following:

  • Psychological elements (Main character has a case related to PTSD and/or schizophrenia as result of the war)

  • dystopian, cyberpunk setting ( set a good time ahead into the future with various science fiction elements)

  • Philosophical questions used to enhance tension ( The morality of some characters are challenged, raising tensions between them.

Thanks for the time you gave me, hope you have a great day!

    I'm actually going through something I wrote months ago currently (the person who volunteered to proofread never did it). If I get around to uploading it, would you mind if I tagged you? I could use input. It's about 3000 words, and inspired somewhat by SP (or, at least, its atmosphere).

    @Gs Holy...
    Working at 300 words per page (making an assumption, idk how that stuff with Amazon works), for 55 pages, that's like 16,500 words. In 14 hours.
    A word of story every 3 seconds average.
    Did it come out well in a qualitive sense? Did it require a lot of editing?

    @ComradeSandman Indeed. A light novel type thing but in volumes. This is not the entire story, it's part of a much bigger one.

    @ComradeSandman No, really. I started at 11 in the morning then finished at 1am at night. I was really compassionate in those moments lol

    About ~45k words? That’s a small novel. Dang.

    Wow
    This is who I wish I was lol.
    Haven’t written even a single chapter in ages, let alone any actual bulk of work. Years, probably.
    Congrats! Clearly you have more will and inspiration than I do lol

    I took aside an entire day and just gave it my all... Jumping from 90 pages written, to an entire 145.

    How the hell? 55 pages in a day? Am I tripping?

    @Boeing727200F You can sell them on KDP as E-books if you want to let the world see.

    @StockPlanesRemastered Hey, I seem to be in line with that timeline! although, I might be able to churn out the first two books before 17.

    Thrown of glass was written and published by a (then) 16 year old. And it turned into a saga of books spanning three series' that take place in the same multiverse.

    Made all of them at school

    @126 I used to think like that as well, but one of these days, I took aside an entire day and just gave it my all... Jumping from 90 pages written, to an entire 145.
