- After two years, the author released his first science fiction book 'Wohpe', marking his first long prose work.
- Writing a novel required learning from scratch, similar to how a chess novice develops taste and strategy over time.
- The author realized that writing itself, not just reading, is essential to develop a personal style and critical judgment.
- The publishing market, especially in Italy, is harsh, with most fiction books selling fewer than 100 copies, unlike programming projects which attract wider interest.
- Despite the imbalance between effort and public response, writing is a deeply satisfying endeavor worth pursuing.
- The author is now deciding whether to focus on writing, coding, or both, and awaits the outcome of 'Wohpe' and its English translation.
