Your Character Needs To Get Their Ass Kicked
Why am I deciding to write this? Simple, a lot of writers, especially in popular TV and film media have fallen into the trap of easily handing their characters: main, protagonists, antagonists, side, flat, round, etc. a life on easy street. Now, here's the thing, every character isn't going to have the same developmental process or journey. Some characters will need to be humbled more than others just based on their inherent nature and/or upbringing. That's right, nature vs. nurture just comingled on this piece while I'm about to give You a piece of my mind.

An Ode to my Inability to Accept Praise
Author’s Note: I originally intended to submit this for the Ode to the Ordinary challenge, but then I realized my thoughts would likely refuse to confine themselves to verses. Plus, by the time this topic came to me, there was about 10 hours left in the challenge, and while I certainly have “made it happen” time and again when the chips were down, I prefer not to rush my writing.

My First Attempt at Writing a Novel
Man, I love to read; I just consume words, but just because someone reads a lot doesn't mean they can write well—well, for me anyway. I found that out when I decided to write a novel, “Titan’s Daughter.” It was during those days when the world stood still and we were all trapped at home. Back then, my days transformed into this monotonous blend of TV and even more reading than usual. It was almost as if I were on autopilot, moving from one activity to the next without truly engaging. Until one day, it dawned on me that every show I binge-watched and every book I was consuming was the ripened fruit of someone else’s imagination, someone who took the time to organize their thoughts.

The First Stories
I remember, somewhere between childhood and awkward teenage years, I went from being an avid reader to an avid writer. I thank my high school friends for this transition. They introduced me to anime, manga, and fanfiction. Fanfiction.net was approximately where I started attempting to write coherent stories under the penname Amery Aquaisha. I know, what an alias, right?
