I can't help re-thinking our situation and give some opinion here..
So here goes..
Just like a book with blank pages, women will let a man scribble and sketch on the "Introduction" page. Once she likes it, she opens up further into her story, starting "Chapter 1". If it works out, he'll be able to write on her pages til it says "The End".
But not all men knows how to write. I don't mean on their literature skills but their skill on keeping the book open. A woman is not just looking for an author, she's looking for THE author. According to her own preference though.
As far as I'd noticed, there are a few types of authors.
First are those who have seemingly endless supply of pen and ink.
They will just write and write and write and savage her pages on just "Chapter 1".
At first glance, one may think he is being passionate and extra loving but it's
freaking the book out! She'll end up being defensive.
"Chapter 1's" aren't meant to be long and exaggerated or neither should there be
any romantic development, they're meant to be short and leave everyone
wondering if this or that guy would end up with this girl or that? Right??
Second, there are the adventurous authors. These guys are so full with ideas that
they'll just attack any books that comes their way. Well, maybe not just any would
do but only books they decide that are qualified to carry their 'masterpiece'.
They're always coming up with new stories and never satisfied with just one book/story.
In their writing room, there are just piles and piles of unfinished books that
just sits there waiting for the author that thinks only of himself.
Then there's this author that I sorta don't respect. They are the type
that never learn how to appreciate the role of the book.
Books are not made to fly up to their author neither are they made to give
suggestions to their author on how the story should continue. To them authors,
they think that 'I should write on my book as little as possible or else she might
think I'm too desperate'. And this guy wouldn't even DARE to add her on fb! OH please... So adding a friend on fb is too desperate now la??
Authors should be passionate about writing their piece, to have the sense of 'want
to keep the story going'... Don't you think so?
This other author is the slow and easy type. He'll take his time on his book.
Taking his time and making every page meaningful. The story is written with care, sometimes too careful, yet he is able to make his book feel special and possibly, loved?
This seemingly perfect author has his downside as well,
a book may feel bored when the author takes too long a time on the plot development that never
show signs of climax or exhilaration. Who would enjoy a mundane story??
Everyone wants bits and pieces of excitement and adventure! :)
Well... That's about what I think I know. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!! ^^ Love ya all..

Wow, Beatrice, that's a very nice take on bgr. :) Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe key is balance! Of knowledge + wisdom on where to have a climax, and when to go slow, hehe. But there are I think, very few authors who have that skill. Well, I guess there are some who goes along and gets better as the author gets used to the book and story, and at a certain point, they'll just flow and plots will all fly out! XD
true true.. Only a sincere and patient author will be able to pull through. But it's still up to the book to decide :P
