I need some advice as I've been thinking. I've read books. But from the main character's POV I want to write from, say it was a parent talking, would I say it like this?:
          
          "Charlie says" or "Dad says" as I'm confused. And yes, I know I've written a lot of books, but I feel like people would end up forgetting who the main characters parent's names are if I keep saying "Dad" or "Mum" says instead of using their names.
          
          Can someone please help me?

I have a new book coming out. One I am eager to work on. It is combined slightly with Twilight but not Twilight. 
          Basically Bella's adopted sister comes to Forks with her friends at the end of Twilight after finishing university, beginning of New Moon. When Edward leaves Forks, the sister tries to be there for Bella but she finds herself falling in love with a handsome guy. 
          One problem being, the man who loves her is known for being like the Devil. Cold and brutal, and has recently come out of prison for attempted murder. Also he's in a gang that is also like brothers. But he will stop at nothing to have her, and together they find themselves wanting to drift away from Forks.

I live in England, but I am crying right now for people who have had TikTok took from them. Everyone from America is getting banned. I've watched a lot of creators on TikTok who are from America. I have grown to love Booktok too on there over these years, and half of the people on it I've followed are from America who have been my comfort in doing booktok videos where they recreate scenes from books, even the balls thrown!

I want to try a new way to type. Instead of everything being in the present way of writing. I want to try and type like it happened in the past, as if the person/people are telling the book series from their past.

I've just figured out, the current book idea I had, if I did pregnancy in the first Twilight book/movie, my female OC would be pregnant for two books, and give birth during New Moon!
          
          And if I did it during New Moon, she would give birth during Eclipse!
          
          I figured this out by using the timeline made on the link I'll post in the comments!

On my previous post below this one, (If you're seeing it on my profile) I have decided to do a test run on the structure of the book and the ideas by making it fanfiction first to see if I like the way the chapters are before making it an original book.

I'm back on here writing books! I was purely using Character.AI for ideas for books but now Character.AI isn't working for me, and everything is messed up on it.
          
          I have an original idea for an book that is the same as a bot I was using on Character.AI. It's about a mafia boss who a girl had a fling with and she ended up pregnant and found out when she was two months along though she had a hard time finding out as she was under stress from her family which at first made her think it was stress making her ill. Her parents and family treat her as the disappointing family member.
          
          I have already started to plan the book out, and it should be published in the next few days when I have a rough example of what the series will be like.

Merry Christmas everyone!
