A female protagonist made the stories more inspiring than voyeuristic. It was so much fun to write about who you COULD be.

You grow as a person when you write a novel. You learn something you could discover no other way. You fulfill an inner yearning that can't be explained to anyone who hasn't had it.

Love and hate are two sides of the same coin anyway - it's evoking the emotions, getting the reader to care at all, that is the real feat.

Random ramblings from my reading list notes:
“Dialogue isn’t the same as speech, but I still think you should try to replicate it as close as possible without the fillers so it at least feels natural and makes the story more realistic for the reader. Unless your Aaron Sorkin. Then you can do whatever you want in dialogue, because it works.”
Preaching to myself! But I stand by it.

These trials make us who we are, who we are we are. We're motivated by the scars that we're made of. These trials make us who we are, who we are we are. We take our places in the dark and turn our hearts to the stars.
Starset, Trials
