I realized I hadn’t written much about myself and Eternally Bound until now. This story has been in my head for a long time: mostly the product of my imagination, with a small part being a fantastical reworking of my own experiences. In 2024, I went through a difficult period that pushed me to pick up all those hobbies I had abandoned. First illustration, then writing. I decided to start writing Eternally Bound because I wanted to create a book that spoke about what truly interests me: love, redemption, and folklore. I have studied myths and legends from around the world for many years, ever since my adolescence. I even did some university research on the folklore of Northern Italy. But after I got to know the mythical creatures of Korean Folklore more closely, I fell in love with them. That’s where the idea to include everything I was most passionate about in Eternally Bound came from. I’m not writing this story to seek glory or praise but for honest feedback and to find people who share the same passions! I also decided to translate it into English, partly to practice the language and partly because the Wattpad community in my region has been pretty much deserted for some time. Unfortunately, writing it first in my native language (Italian), I always fear translating it incorrectly or awkwardly when it works well in the original language. That’s why I thought Wattpad could help me understand if I’m heading in the right direction. Aside from that, constructive criticism is always welcome, but I’m writing mainly for fun! This is the book I’ve always wanted to read! A huge thank you to everyone who follows, comments, and supports with affection! Nyra
