What The Author Life is Like?

Hello Everyone & Happy Saturday! today I am going to talk about what the author life is like?

Many of you might have known I've became an author to "The Step Love" which is my first book and to be honest being an author has been one of the greatest and challenging things in my life because there lots of plotting down and constant daydreaming trying to think of what you want your character to go or do at certain times throughout the book.

I actually found writing my MC Tommy quite difficult at first because I wanted him to be realistic, so I had to role-play as a boy called Josh to capture and understand the things boys do and act because since I don't see a lot of my guy friends anymore it was hard to write a boy character because it was quite intense and boys go through a lot of deeper emotions in anger and things than girls because boys are mostly not very known much into main characters since in Young Adult, I don't see boys like my MC character Tommy.

 it's more like the boy is a "Boyfriend" or "Best Friend" I see in a lot of books and I feel a lot of young adult authors don't make boys realistic enough, it almost feels like its about the "Bad Boy" and mostly those things.

when I write characters it almost feels like I am talking to them because I can sense their voices in my head, so while I write I can feel what they're saying or feeling and I tend to connect with a lot of emotions and anger maybe because as a person, I just capture real things and I feel that what made writing Tommy seemed I was having fun because I had love for him.

 I think that still grows a lot for my MC Tommy even though he's a book now it's like I remember the imaginary conversations we had every day and night.

being an author isn't all about money as people tend to forget a lot, it's about creating who you want to be and who you inspire yourself as if you was a character written on someone else book, how would you want them to capture you as a character or what traits do you have that make your book and your character stand out also, what story do you want to give out to the world about yourself through your character.

I created who I wanted to be through writing from Tommy so I don't really care about having Money what I care about is writing a boy who would change the world about so many topics that have been hidden not wanting to come out, so these issues can stop happen for example Mental Health.

 those who go through mother loss like Tommy and other strong issues, it wasn't just about love, it was about so many things that happen in this world and Tommy my character is one of the youngest main character, people have read so far, but he has already touched a few hearts, I can't wait to see Tommy touch more hearts in the near future and onward.

I hope you all enjoyed my author points.
