《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*.

The Pugilist
Vincent Roy Salazar has never been your common folk. He climbed any mountain he found in front of him. From a bright young student to an accomplished professor, his life can be described as a continuous race to the top of his chosen fields. Patriarch of a loving family, proud father of three already grown siblings, Roy realizes that his life is the perfect picture of what the average man strives for, and for that he is truly grateful. But happiness is a difficult-to-reach goal, and as he lies in a pool of his own blood, his fist cracked, a young lady crying while cradling his head, he remembers what really gave sense to his youth. Pure Unadulterated Violence The Pugilist wants to be a different take on isekai shenanigans. What would happen if instead of a moronic idiot, a depressed high schooler, or a wannabe hero the one to get his do-over is a fully grown man that has already seen what life has to offer in full? Someone who conformed himself to society, but has always craved something different? In a journey of self-discovery, academy building, god-slaying, and absolutely no harem we follow someone driven by logic, experience, and a smokey goal: to fuck shit up, have fun while doing so, and maybe resume his career as a professor for those strange, magic-wielding, unstable youths that seems to never get enough of his presence. Guys, a few notes, first of all, this is my first time writing long-form fiction. I have a background in psychology, and my main income comes from writing dreary financial articles on SEO blogs. But after a bad break-up, and finding myself falling asleep only while thinking of deus ex machina for stories on this site (and for APGTE) I decided to try my hand at this web series thingy. I'm confident in my grammar, but that's it. Everything else will be a first time, and as such any constructive criticism is encouraged and gratefully accepted. Now, on the story. Romance will be introduced once my little heart is mended, if you are scared of LGBT you may be turned off by the fact that I plan to have no taboo of any kind in my universe, but I won't ever write detailed sex scenes for any characters so don't worry too much. The litRPG part is very light and will take place later in the novel, but it's a key component nonetheless, for world-building and storyline reasons. I already have everything big planned out, so I won't drop it outta nowhere, and I hope you won't find too many flaws in how things pan out. I plan to make The Pugilist an interactive story, with secondary characters created by my audience and introduced after tweaks and careful planning. The main reason I'm writing this is that I want to build a community for myself in this time of isolation. I discovered that exercising, playing the piano or video games means jack-shit when you are utterly miserable, so I hope to give some value to my readers in exchange for praise, fame, money, and companionship. I give full props to anyone who has read this whole mess of a synopsis: I hope to not disappoint too much, now let's write some more steaming garbage that will be in dire need of editing later on.
