Rambling about my book

One thing I love about the story in writing is the heavy focus on platonic love and pointing out romance isn't always more important and shouldn't be so pushed as more important in society. It's a very emotional book, full of love in a platonic way.

But I'm also scared. Because one of my characters kinda shit talks romance sometimes and I don't want people to hate her or put the book down for it. But also part of me doesn't care if they do, because I get money if they buy the book, not if they finish reading it but also like if they get mad at the lack of romance/hate on romance then like- why should I care bc I get mad when there's too much romance and it feels random and/or forced.

So it's like I love the love for platonic love and the sorta romance hate but I'm also scared people will hate it and think I'm like a jerk for it lol.

I also don't wanna do Rue wrong and be like "she used to hate romance and now she doesn't and she just needed character growth" bc she doesn't really hate romance, she hates how it's pushed by society. She's stubborn for one, so the more society pushes it the more she pushes back. And she hates when people always put romance above their friends. But if your doing you're thing she doesn't even really notice you. Ya know? So I don't want to like make it seem like her dislike to romance is a character flaw that needs fixing bc I don't think that's the message I wanna send.

I don't know I think I just have a bit of imposter syndrome right now and think my book entirely sucks and I'm overthinking it. It happens. It'll be fine, I love my book and that's what matters.

Anyways. That's all I have to say, thanks so much for listening and I am wishing you all the very best. Hope you have an amazing day/night. Take care and best wishes 💚💜
