Welcome to our third part, and continuation of the second part, writing

Now we have decided what we have to write about, the next biggest issue

"Suhana words doesn't flow through me, what should I do, I become as blank as my paper, when I start writing"

If this is you then listen to me babes, my honest and true advice would be, write

Write whatever comes to your mind, let it be total bullshit who is coming to judge you?

Don't go behind fancy words, tum Shashi Tharoor nahi ho meri jaan and it's quite alright

You can also write and incorporate your mother tongue to add more depth into the story

Like I add Hindi dialogues and that makes my readers laugh and connect more to my story

But don't forget to add translation every now and then or else the readers who don't understand your language would have a hard time

Your first draft doesn't have to be perfect, just put it out there and honestly guys we have free editors everywhere, because everyone is ready to point out your mistakes 😉 so take advantage of that

____________

Secondly about pov writing, whether should I write in third person or second person

My reasoning is simple, as long as it isn't necessary try to write in third person, because in my honest opinion third opinion is more engaging

But whether you feel comfortable writing like that or not is also a main concern

So like I said, write a draft and see which one is working for you

____________

Now let's come onto our third part, and something important, you are not writing about yourself, but another person

Even though you are the one penning down every person, they have to differ from one another or else readers won't engage, every characters of yours won't have same thoughts or tone of speaking or even same habits

Some can be outgoing, some would be shy, so incorporate that idea within the readers

And the best way to do that is to base off your character from any person from your life, I base off my male characters from my brother and male friends and my female characters from myself and my female parts of my life

But that doesn't mean you will entirely put your real life in to those characters, find any aspect from your real life, and give that unique colours to your characters in the books

Real life also teaches us many things, you can also put your day to day conversation in your books and trust me it's funny, and who doesn't like funny (except some psychopaths)

Many people ask me how I write funny dialogues, but in reality those dialogues are what me and my brother converse daily (we are very funny I know)

And if nothing helps, I straightaway go to google and search for some male/female characters description and try to base off my characters from those

Writing should flow from within you, once you start it's impossible to stop, obstacles will come but look around you and you will also find answers

Anyways what's one advice you would give to other authors?

Any more questions drop it into comments, and part three of writing will come, where I will converse more about emotions and how to promote on instagram, tell me what you want to know
