Finishing a good book is a mixture of emotions.
Joy at having been on the journey and getting to the end and yet sadness because you have to say goodbye to the characters you’ve come to love. Not to mention wanting to know more.
Finishing a book is bittersweet. You spend days getting to know the characters. Learning their nuances, their faults, their loves, their lives. They become your friends, acquaintances, enemies. And after the story ends, you miss them. You look for them in your own life, wonder where they’ve gone, you forget that they aren’t real. You fall in love with the hero and dream of him at night. The strange girl becomes your best friend. Their heartaches become your heartaches. You laugh when they laugh. And cry when they die. Eventually you realise they aren’t a part of your world, you were just briefly visiting theirs.

Which of us has not felt that the character we are reading in the printed page is more real than the person standing beside us?

She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

I love books.

Those killer books that have you hooked from the start. The ones that leave you with a new perspective on things. Or after you’ve read it, you wish the author was a personal friend of yours. The ones that give you intense emotions of pathos and euphoria, and the characters are almost tangible. Those are the kind of books I like.

The following are the first five general tips offered by the crew. Another set of tips to follow soon.

So much better.
This is probably the reason why I’m still single. No man will ever life up to my literary loves.
Bec: This is totally my problem as well. How can guys live up to some of the men I’ve read about?

Stories.
Sometimes considering these stories can lead you to the most in depth characters for your own writing.
