I compiled all the logs I made during my learning process of writing Beyya and Sanjay.

I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and wanted to learn how to write properly. Little did I know, I had to do a lot of research for the simplest of story elements. It was eye-opening knowing how much I didn't know.
I encourage novice writers to read these logs. Maybe it'll provide enough insight to entice you to learn as much as I did.
