《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @BookdragonAS, author of Falling in love sucks sometimes

I was a passionate reader or let's say even now*Laughs*.I find solace in reading. While reading, if there was one thing I found quite contradicting is I wasn't able to relate to most of the characters. I always found the characters were often portrayed as the 'Perfect beings'. And I'm one who believes no one is perfect. That's when this thought of writing a book about a person who is 'normal' in every sense hit my mind.*Smiles* that was the initial idea which caused me to even take up writing and now I'm still busy weaving the story.

Honestly, you won't believe if I tell you this I'm always busy creating plots, characters, scenarios in my mind all the time but whenever I sit down to type my mind just goes blank*Laughs*. This has to be the first thing I suffer from. I'm still an amateur writer-I still struggle with my portion of grammar issues and yes, importantly finding the right words. Trust me by now I have deleted this sentence 3-4 times finding the right words.

The response I got for my work is absolutely wonderful. The most common comment I got for my work is, 'This is Relatable'. Currently my work has about 7.35k views and my work is still ongoing so you can say I feel like I have won an 'Oscar'.
I love everything about my story after all this is something which I'm penning down with my heart and soul. Writing down the psychological aspects, some philosophies and facts in between the story is definitely my favorite part and also the humor part. You doesn't love to laugh a bit?

a stand alone
There are couple of things my readers can take from my work.
✨It's ok to be imperfect.

✨Not to dwell in the past and learn to embrace the present.
✨Love is not a bad thing after all.
Ah! I'm a new budding writer myself, honestly I don't even think I'm qualified enough to advice anyone. But I can tell you few things I do to keep my mind free and focused on writing:
✨Good music
✨Coffee
✨A notepad to jot down points on how you want the story to proceed, this way it helps you keep stay focused on the plot and keep you away from the terrible writers block.
✨Read good Books, it helps you enhance your writing skills.
Yes! The character in my book with the name Skyfall is very much similar to me. She's a procrastinator, loves bikes, a goofball and a tomboy. I was in search for some inspiration to write, which readers could relate to and I found nothing other than presenting me in her. Thankfully the readers loved it.
I think the most important thing is to never lose faith in yourself, continue writing even if no one is reading your book. The most important point is to enjoy the process.
✨Learn to take praises and criticisms in the same way. If it wasn't for the criticisms I took from my readers, I don't honestly think I would have been able to grow myself as a writer. Readers love it when you listen to them and trust me it helps.
✨A catchy title and plot is another part which helps get your reader's attention.
A writer's mind is never idle. As I'm typing this I have already plotted many ideas in my mind*laughs*.

Urban Divinity
He slowly backs up until his back is against the wall like my own, "You're..my neighbor?" He points to my door and I nod my head quickly. He hums softly, "You been here a while?" He asks and I nod my head once again. He chuckles, "Ya head hurt?" I nod again but stop as he laughs softly, "I-I mean.. no.. it doesn't." My cheeks burn red as I look at my shoes, "I-It doesn't hurt.." I repeat like a dummy and listen to him clear his throat, "So do you actually live there or was it bull?" He nods to my door and I play with my fingers, "Yeah.. I do.." I feel his eyes watch me and I quickly stop. "You live with your boyfriend or do you like sweatshirts that reach your knees?" He teased, making a giggle slip past my lips. I look away to the floor again, "I-I like big shirts... a lot." I mumble softly and he nods his head, "Hol' up." He puts his box down before walking over to one of the grey bins. I nosily watch as he pulls out a big grey sweatshirt, "Here." He holds it out for me to take and I stare at him with wide eyes, "F-For me?" I hesitantly grab the soft fabric as he chuckles, "Nah for ya mom." I puff my cheeks a little and give him a small glare, "Hush." He leans back against the wall and shakes his head, "It's cold out. You should put it on." ____________________________She was a shy girl from the city with no spine and a list of problems so long that it could touch the floor and roll off her shoes.
