Dear Reader,
Thank you for taking your time to read this letter. Whether you’re reading it now or in the future, I appreciate your interest in my passion.
For those who are new, “Ascending the World Tree” (ATWT) is about a MMO RPG where humanity gets trapped in a magical world, climbing the 100 floors of the world tree to earn the great reward on the 100th floor. The story will be long, potentially spanning hundreds or thousands of chapters since as of right now I plan to go by each floor individually. My plan for the story floors is to keep it to 5-10 chapters per floor, with the first few floors being shorter since they serve as a tutorial.
ATWT is about humanity’s perilous fight for survival. I chose to write this because I can explore various themes without being confined to one single idea or environment, each floor will be different and each floor will be as unique as possible(coming up with 100 floors is hard 🙁 ). If necessary, I can change protagonists or start anew. Currently, I have five protagonists planned, so don’t get too attached to any of the characters because who knows what the World Tree has in store .
You might wonder why someone new to writing would take on this task. To answer that question, my dream has always been to write a story, not necessarily a bestseller, but just to write. I don’t expect it to be perfect, and you shouldn’t either. There will be errors and There will be mistakes, but that’s part of improving. I also want to show myself that I can accomplish my goal of being a writer( and editor 🙁 )even in this way; I’ve always loved to write, and I want to pursue this as a career someday. Once I improve as a writer, I plan to rewrite the beginning chapters and hope my story can inspire someone else to pursue their dreams.
As for myself, I prefer to keep my identity private. Even if the story hypothetically becomes a bestseller. At the end of the day, all I want to do is write a story that I would enjoy, so I want to keep my personal life and my career separate so that I can avoid worrying about anything or being attacked for it. I plan to write one chapter a week which will upload on Mondays ( I meant to submit this letter one July first my B) while I’m in online classes and increase that to 2-3 chapters a week once my classes are over. This is my weekly assignment for the foreseeable future. If I get sick or can’t upload, I’ll try to let everyone know. The best way to contact me is through my Instagram, ProdGastma. I’ll do my best to respond to as many people as possible.
Anyway, this letter has been all over the place, and I promise the story will be more congruent than this.
I hope you enjoy the story and it entertains you. You might laugh, you might cry, but who knows what the future holds.
With warm regards,
Gastma
