Meet The Authors Showcase Edition #3 (3 of 3)

A showcase with @OpalWing14, author of: Understandably Unrelated

1 what inspired the idea of your story?

Believe it or not, that's difficult to answer. I think I was inspired by a book I was reading by someone else- Light of Distant Suns is what is called.

2 what is something you struggled constructing with your story?

I am struggling with writing the bits of the story I feel to be boring. They still have to exist to make the story make sense, however. I won't give up just because of those parts, though.

3 what did you enjoy writing most of your story?

 I am enjoying writing the inner monologue and flashbacks of the main character.

4 what's the overall response of your story from your readers?

I've only gotten a couple of likes on it so far, so I can't really say.

5 is your story a stand alone novel or a piece of a series ?

 I am intending for this story to be a stand-alone. However, this does not mean I am not open to writing prequels for some of the side-characters.

6 what would you like your readers to take away from your story?

That you cannot force people to and get mad at people if they do not adore you.

7 what advice would you provide to fellow writers, when it comes to focusing on their own story?

Your story will not be perfect on the first draft. The reason I say this is because one could feel that he or she is taking on too much by trying to make the story a masterpiece at the first go, causing him or her to give up.

8 does your main character share any similarities to yourself?

 Yes. The anger issues and the struggle to decide on an opinion. Also, the passion of trying to fix what she feels is broken.

9 what is something about your story you believe would draw in new readers?

 I'm hoping the child-like wonder of some of the settings.

10 do you have any future projects?

One of the rules of my life is that there is ALWAYS a future project.
