《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @MayceeMouse, author of Brooding Souls

I often catch myself narrating my actions in my thoughts as an mc in a first person story might do; which never fails to amuse me as I have a flare for the dramatic. One day, I wondered what would happen if I tried to capture those moments and transplant them into characters who have deep, tragic or just plain dramatic backstories... and that's how Brooding Souls was born:)
2
Context, mostly. Sometimes I get an amazing idea with the perfect characters and the correct blend of emotions and I just want to write their story... but I just don't have any background on the story of any type of storyline that I want to follow.

Unfortunately, I haven't had a very great response when it comes to this book. I don't have that many readers, but I do hope to build that up with time

I love the transformation! Taking my own emotions and pouring it into a new character, and dictating why s/he is feeling that way is a very unique feeling, and can actually be quite therapeutic at times as well
Brooding Souls is a single, standalone collection of short stories for now, but you can never be too sure what the future holds ;)
I'd like my readers to learn to just... live in the moment... and to enjoy every moment.I feel that many of us experience a lot of undue anxiety and stress by worrying and fussing over future and past events that we have little to no control over. If we could just learn to let go and enjoy the NOW, we'd be a lot more happier and content. (Disclaimer: if you have a mental illness or do happen to suffer from depression, anxiety, etc., please do seek help from a professional.)

Never give up! Even if you aren't getting the response and feedback that you expected when you started writing, just persevere and keep writing! Remember that you are writing for yourself first
Most of my MC's share characteristics with me, but I usually use small things that hardly anyone would notice until it's pointed out to them. But one thing that all my characters share with me is that we're super short :)
I haven't actually given this a lot of thought... I'd like the depth of emotion and personality that I've poured into these characters in these short stories to draw in readers, but I fear that that might not be reasonable. A girl can hope, however

Yes! At the moment, I am working on a sequel to "Smiles for Sofia" in my (very limited) free time, as well as a very special secret project ;)

A God's Champion
James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors. The first is that when the MC was created, James didn't know what he was doing, so he picked what he thought would work. The second reason is that he had access to more information to game the system a little. The premise is like when you buy a new video game and decide to play it without RTFM. After creating a great character and making it to the end of the first act, you realize that, although your character may be kewl, it is gimped and will not survive until the end of the game. Going back to the start, you create a new character with the knowledge you gained from playing the game and perhaps, peeking at the manual.
