Enough talk about student life, I looked at the photos from my own, and there's nothing interesting there...

Well, he wanted to be a soldier, but ended up working at a factory. Only Alex is fulfilling his childhood dreams...

Few people remember this topic anymore, but the post is related to it in one way or another, so I will post the information here*(and then I will cleverly duplicate it in Haven, haha).. In short, last year, when after moving to Voronezh, things got really tough with finding a job, I decided not to waste a lot of free time and return to that project that I started more than four years ago*(although the idea is much older, it just seemed to me at some point that it would be good to use it in Heroes). While my husband was working hard, and I wasn't getting any responses to job applications, most of my time went into doing what I enjoy – working on text*(fortunately, my experience as a journalist turned out to be useful). Specifically, I worked on "The Traveler's Diary," whose rough and flawed version can be found in this thread. As a result, after rewriting everything from scratch, but keeping the same characters and the same world concept, I created a slightly different version, which resulted not only in reworking and expanding the events described here, but also in adding new ones. Then, part of the material that was originally planned to be put at the beginning had to be moved under the second manuscript*(spoiler: it has also been written, and in my opinion, it turned out to be tougher and better than the first attempt). Anyway, in the end, the three months spent writing and completely editing the text resulted in sending the material to Eksmo, which offered me a cooperation agreement a couple of months later. First in electronic format through Litres, and then depending on how things go. And so I had to start waiting. To be honest, I had no idea what would happen. But finally, the first trial publication came out today (or rather, an hour ago). I don't know yet whether to rejoice or not, because although I poured my soul into this text, I don't know what will happen to my work*(not to mention that I really like the second part more, which I wrote over the summer and signed a contract for less than a week after submitting it). In short, if briefly, my first attempt is here. However, I am posting here not so much to offer you to read it, but to thank you for the support you gave to this idea long ago. I have no idea how significant all this will ultimately be on a literary scale, but personally, it means a lot to me. So I didn't come here to "brag"*(because there is nothing to brag about yet), but to thank those who did not write to me "your text sucks," but supported me with positive feedback. And yes, I apologize for not posting the text earlier. Before finishing writing it, I didn't know if it would succeed or not. And then I signed a contract that forbade me from publishing the finished text on third-party resources. So I had to wait until everything worked out in order to share it with those who are always nearby.*Even when the forum is buggy))
