I had free time due to COVID-19 restrictions and no work shifts, so I decided to write my first novel. I came up with an idea based on a scam I learned about from a travel book to Russia. Through online research, I discovered the average novel is 60,000 words and divided my story into 60 chapters of 1,000 words each to reach that length, essentially writing 60 short stories that interconnected to form one complete book.
