Saw my friend in middle school in 2016 playing it, and I asked her what the app was. She said it was Episode, and I downloaded it on the app.
I got inspired by other high school stories on Episode to create my own, and it was so cringey. A bad boy LI, a blonde mean girl, and I don’t think I was planning to develop the MC’s new friends or best friend that much. I also started the first episode with waking up in the morning being late for school, so there’s that 
I originally wrote most of episode 1 on paper (and I still write down my drafts now)
I got to know a lot thanks to other writers on YouTube and Instagram (not related to Episode), and I’m still learning coding by Tal Gordin and Joseph Evans.
So yeah, there’s my story.
