Played like a Guitar

Final Author's Note

Wow, you've reached the end of the story...or is it? After more than six months of writing (with major breaks in between), it's finally over and ready to be shared with this amazing community. A major milestone in my life, something I dreamt of doing but never thought I had the motivation, time or ability to achieve.

I used to write a digital diary to observe my thoughts and feelings over time, and after I completed my story I added another entry. I looked back at the very first one at the start of 2020, where I wrote "I'm thinking of writing a book", and mere months later that dream became reality. I gathered a bunch of ideas and scenarios, scribbled them down in my notes and combined them later on while plotting the story. The beginning was the toughest, when you need to actually sit down and start writing but once that part is over, the rest flows smoothly at its own pace. Sometimes you're able to write forty pages in one go if you're feeling inspired, sometimes even two paragraphs prove to be a challenge, which was usually a sign for me to back off until I had a clear vision in my mind again.

Music and movies get me back on my feet in no time, hearing and watching so many different artists encourages me to finish my own work. It's far from perfect, but it's something I can call mine, where I managed to put my thoughts and ideas into words and create something fruitful out of them. Hopefully I managed to crack a smile, shed a tear, disappoint, anger, make the readers feel something while reading the novel. You may be wondering whether or not I have a sequel planned in mind, but I haven't given it much thought beyond the scope of the story so far (until now). Thank you for sharing your time, it means a lot, really. ❤️

Also, in case a movie ever comes out, here are some actors/singers I found that could easily fit some of the characters! Again, Noah is completely up to you, this is only my personal vision!

For Noah Westwood: Maya Hawke, Willow Smith, Saoirse Ronan, Elizabeth Lail and Emma Watson (if girl)

As for male candidates, I haven't seen any impressive young male actors apart from Timothée Chalamet who is cast in every second movie nowadays, but if you come across anyone interesting, let me know!

Elektra Lambrose: closest I could get was Emma Roberts or Bella Thorne, total baddies.

Athena: Alessia Cara definitely (beauty!).

Leonardo: Lucas Till or Niall Horran.

And lastly, Jamie O'Dea who was the toughest as there aren't many ginger celebrities out there, but the closest I could get was either a young Richard Madden, Dominic Sherwood (with actual heterochromia) or the singer Bazzi (if he agrees to put on a colored lense and dye his hair a bit).
