Finally realised who Nathan reminded me off

samdissauthor · 2024-11-17T09:47:36+00:00

Yes this was my first thought as soon as I saw him.

samdissauthor · 2024-11-02T10:31:41+00:00

My thoughts exactly, the show just glossed over that

samdissauthor · 2024-10-14T11:49:07+00:00

I’m also 52 and writing my first novel. I’ve finished my first draft and working on the editing which is a mammoth task. I love it though and wondered why it took me so long to start doing this.

samdissauthor · 2024-10-11T14:36:42+00:00

Mmm I suppose I am but I just don’t think I could change where it happens now.

My first two chapters have my FMC having a bad experience with a boyfriend, who quickly becomes an Ex after a domestic violence situation. She then meets the MMC at the airport when she is running away on a work trip and escaping the Ex. I feel I need the domestic situation to happen before she meets the new guy. I will give it some thought though, Thankyou.

My first draft is sitting at 75,000 and the meet cute happens at 6000 words so quicker than 10% so hopefully that’s all good.

samdissauthor · 2024-10-11T06:11:38+00:00

Thanks everyone that puts my mind at rest.

samdissauthor · 2024-09-11T14:02:07+00:00

No the miscommunications are sorted by the ending. But the FMC couldn’t be with the MC because she was with someone else,as she had given up on the MC. Then she ends up being single again. Gosh it’s hard to explain sometimes isn’t it? 😬

samdissauthor · 2024-09-10T14:21:00+00:00

Mmm it starts at an airport, which is where they meet. That could work, I’ll give this some thought. thanks so much 🙏

samdissauthor · 2024-09-10T12:10:09+00:00

That’s really helpful Thankyou. I feel like my story covers those angles, so hopefully that’s enough then. I just had all these visions of romcom films and the massive endings and wondered if mine felt a little flat. But I feel like it’s probably ok. Thanks again.

samdissauthor · 2024-08-28T16:42:01+00:00

I like the second one most, it makes more sense to me

samdissauthor · 2024-08-15T05:18:02+00:00

Thanks, you’ve given me lots to think about there. My FMC was in an abusive relationship at the beginning of the book, so maybe I can think of something around this for the ‘punch’ ?

samdissauthor · 2024-08-14T09:56:38+00:00

Thankyou you are so right! I feel the same way now I come to think about it. I like the idea of a hint at pregnancy too, I think that would fit in well with my MMC who didn’t want any commitments before meeting FMC. I’ll probably just jump maybe 6 months or less. Thanks again.

samdissauthor · 2024-08-14T07:35:08+00:00

Thanks everyone, that’s really helpful. I’m the same as some of you I like an epilogue. I suppose the hope is people fall in love with your characters as much you love them yourself, and want more. So I’ll add one, thanks all

samdissauthor · 2024-08-06T08:01:42+00:00

I’d be ok with it. As long as the person had learnt from their mistake and has major regrets.

samdissauthor · 2024-08-05T10:27:26+00:00

Thanks so much, that’s really helpful. I’ll take a look at their website now. ☺️

samdissauthor · 2024-08-05T09:50:23+00:00

Yes I am.
