Hey guys! So I thought I'd post this chapter because there a few things that must be clear to continue the story.
You guys asked me questions through my profile conversations, PMs and comments. Well gladly, there weren't many questions about the plot of the story and they had more to do about the other stuff.
I have answered these questions and dropped a few tips along the way, so don't forget to read 'em!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate all the support, love and attention my book is receiving.
Honestly, I never thought I'd do a chapter like this before, I dreamed of doing it but I never really thought it would come true. I never thought people would actually give a damn XD
Thanks again and here we go!
Questions and Answers
· Have you thought of how this story is going to end?
Don't worry, yes I have! I've written the entire story in form of points in my PC. I started doing this a few months ago and started writing this story ONLY when I was sure how to end it. So before writing every chapter, I just have to refer the points I wrote before without straining my brain.
TIP: I can confidently say that I'll never get a writer's block in the future! You can practice this too. If right now you're having a writer's block, drop everything and think of the entire story first. A consistent flow of events is really important, or else you'll end up writing something you didn't plan to.
· Why does Connor always suffer?
Good question. Connor is the protagonist of my story. A story always has the protagonist going through some challenge or trying to overcome something and how he/she does it is what the story is supposed to be about!
If the story is just about how happy person going on with his life with no aim, I don't really think there would be any point in reading the story at all...it wouldn't even be a story...
· How many chapters will Twin Tussle have?
Well, the number might freak you out. I'm planning on writing about 40 parts XD
Whoa wait, don't run away! I'll get there slowly and steadily. Please stick with me; I need all your support :)
· Will we read more of Caleb and Harley?
I can see that people are loving them - someone even said that they deserved each other because they're both evil. Haha XD you guys are amazing!
Yes. Yes there's more of Cal and Ley coming up!
TIP: If your story is supposed to be something very gloomy, include as many cute and funny moments in your story as possible. Making your story too sad and melancholic can make the reader feel horrible from the inside. We need to give them some air to breathe...
· Will you be writing 'My Pretend Boyfriend' alongside 'Twin Tussle'?
No. I was planning to do that but I'm not gonna do it because I found it hard to keep up with two stories. MPB is on hold and will be on hold until I complete Twin Tussle.
TIP: If you're writing a book, give your full attention to ONLY that book if you crave for its success instead of dividing your attention to others.
· Why does Connor think he's not appealing and Caleb is? They're identical twins right?
Creative question I must say. If you had two people who want to be in a relationship with you and both are equally cute. But one is funny and confident but the other is shy and prefers being an introvert, who would you choose?
Connor isn't talking about how they look here. He believes that Caleb has a comparatively better attitude and group of friends, that's why the insecurity arises :)
· How do I pronounce 'Harley' and 'Ley'?
I was literally waiting for someone to ask this! Well, if you've been around for awhile you probably know that I'm a weird person...
When I say 'Harley', I pronounce the 'ley' as 'lee' so it's almost like 'Harlee'.
· Does Connor like Harley only for her looks?
Well, if Connor really knew about Harley's personality, he would've hated her. Connor doesn't know at all how bad Harley is!
Yes, Connor loves her solely for her looks :)
· Has Connor spoken to Harley before all this started?
Yes, he might have, that's the reason he started liking her. Maybe he loved the way she talked, maybe he found her very generous :) and fell for her...
· Connor needs to stand up for himself. Why is he always so gloomy?
Connor is going through a very perplexing and hard time right now; it's hard to pull yourself together. He is kind of a sensitive person and gets hurt easily. The biggest step he took so far was calling Gina and telling her everything about Caleb and as the story progresses, Connor will be standing up for himself (^_^)
· When did Caleb and Harley get into a secret relationship? And for how long have they been in it?
I knew this part might be confusing; it was the biggest plot twist so far. When, after Connor saw Caleb making out with some unknown girl at the party, he quickly called Gina and told her about him. Harley was there with Gina when that happened and Harley calls Caleb and yells at him.
That night was when Caleb called Harley and apologized to her for being a jerk and that's when they when they became a secret couple. It hasn't really been long since that happened.
· Is Kimberly older than Connor?
No she's not! She just finished highschool in another country and as you guys know, different countries follow a different schedule so Kimberly has already graduated, she's now back in town to attend college.
Connor, on the other hand, has a few months before his final examinations begin. All my characters are 18 years of age.
. Why is Harley so uptight? When will she get the taste of her own medicine?
Ah well...maybe she's so in love with Caleb that she doesn't care about the world. Some people are just born arrogant and selfish, we can do nothing about it.
The tricks she played on her friends, who trusted her, were very brutal. I don't think they will spare Harley for what she did to them once they come to know. Let's just wait and see *wink wink*
. It must be really hard to think like guys. Why'd you chose to write in a boy's POV?
Hmm...I never really had trouble writing in a boy's POV. I admit it's kinda hard to think like them but because I've read a lot of books which are in a guy's POV so I have a good idea of what they think like ^^
I have also been changing POVs and I've also written in girls' POV. The reason I chose to write in a guy's POV is because I wanted to focus more on the 'sibling rivalry' part that breaks family relationships than the 'love triangle' part. And also, I found it kind of interesting to use twin brothers rather than twin girls who fall for one guy XD
TIP: READ. If you're having trouble with anything - let it be sentence structures, writing in guy's POV or vocabulary, reading ALWAYS helps. Don't ever give it up :)
· WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE?
This is the most frequently asked question and is my FAVOURITE question of all! Why? Because it shows me that the purpose of my previous chapter is complete. It motivates me to write more and never give up!
I'll update on every Friday from now! :)
