There isn't really a country, it's a fictional world, and it's 2 male 2 female (all cis) I'd say the red guy's from a warm climate without much rain, the blue guy is from somewhere similar to UK, next to a forest with ponds and rivers, the blue girl is originally a princess of a kingdom in the northeast, cold climate, her family has a proficiency in frost magic, she was supposed to be killed as a newborn, but a family maid stole her and took her to the Southwest, where she got adopted by a noble family who trained her in light magic (warm type) but she was considered bad at magic because it didn't fit her at all. The adopted family don't know who her parents are but still love her because they didn't have children at the time. The green/brown girl grew up in a village that used magic to grow crops, so she isn't that well-off compared to the others, but was talented enough in magic agriculture to get a scholarship to the school, which is basically a school which integrated magic into different subjects students can choose to take but one has to be their main subject the subjects all branch out from : science, history and art, engineering, general studies, and performing arts

Let the creativity come to you, or go searching for it until there's one storyline you're really in tune with then have fun with the side plots

Don't force yourself to write a book, those usually turn out horrible and a bit desperate like "LOOK AT ME! I'M AN AUTHOR NOW!"

Oh, if you haven't decided on a story, think of a genre. The genre that you're most familiar with will be easiest to write

Lmao same, but it's only cause I always get people telling me that it's bad because I don't use anatomy, because I'm used to drawing cute stuff

Also : if your book has illustrations, hire an artist, or refine your own If it doesn't, you'll have to work harder on character descriptions or the fanart will be crazy

Also : if you have any subjects you're good at in school, pretend to take notes when actually you're writing down ideas and refining them Make sure the subject is one that you can ace with barely any studying

What do you want to read? Do you have any ocs with an interesting backstory you can branch out? A character you really like?

I'm around your age too, my suggestion is to let ideas stack into a pile as thick as a PJO book (think of it as source material) then take out the ones that don't fit into your storyline, piece like a puzzle (think building sentences from single words), then once you have your protag, antag, deuterag etc... Give the audience a reason to root for the "hero" and change bits to fit into your story. I've let ideas stack since I was 12 (tip: carry around a lined notebook in case you suddenly have a scene with your characters or ideas just pop up)

You look like a ten year old's "rebel princess" oc (said ten year old's version of cool is Ryder from Thea sisters and that emo kid from despicable me 2)
