《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*.

How to Raise Your Dungeon
A dungeon core awakens for the first time. It knows nothing, it has nothing, but it can hear something. Voices, whispering, talking, and sharing. For now, they are distant. But it believes, if it proves itself, they may provide it with wisdom and direction. And so its slow but steady growth begins. Polls will come when the dungeon specifically wants to choose between a number of options, and believes it will receive an answer. However, it will "hear" any comments made on the most recent chapter, and these will shape its behaviour. It trusts you implicitely. This story is an exercise in stretching my creative muscles, so with each decision made, the options and opportunities open to the dungeon will change- some closing off forever. The dungeon will face threats periodically, and its fate in these encounters will be heavily influenced by your advice, though it will of course do its absolute best even without advice. It hardly wants to die. Heavily inspired by There Is No Epic Loot Here, Only Puns, though my approach to the concept is somewhat different from that work.

The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me. Røshjert (My Submission for Royal Road's Writing Competition in June 2022)

The most human elf in Shaylet - Paused until further notice
The elves are a race that pride themselves in the purity of their blood, in their natural beauty and in their mastery of archery. They love nature and hate those that defile it. Finch is nothing like them. He could care less about nature. The most elven thing about him is his ears and boyish face. He grew up enslaved by racist nobles and escaped the first chance he got. Taking odd jobs to make enough to get by, he honed his skill in the sword and became an adventurer. This is about how his first big assignment from the guild might change the kingdom *This is the first fiction I have ever written, please be gentle.* This fiction is now on pause as I rewrite it. I am also working on another story at the moment. I will rework this story and hopefully improve upon it before I re-upload it. Until then my other story will be taking most of my attention. Thank you.
