Book Tags

I didn't update this diary right away because I was waiting for my mentor's comment for my latest Chapter 1. Then election day came to my country. That is today and missed my class with him. So, I was not able to hear his comments. I felt a little bad.

Anyway, I spent my time watching a movie, Tron Legacy, with my kids. It was bonding time and I enjoyed it, though I missed my class.

The movie was making my mind worked. New ideas and themes came to mind but can't be useful for my present book one of Champions of Worlds: The Rising Tide. For this will cover the Sorcerer's life, my antagonist, and the timeline is medieval. I'm also reading medieval books this time to build my knowledge about knights and others.

As an author, I have to be knowledgeable about certain things. Like when I was writing my second book. It was a historical romance, so I need to know about the country's past and the present. I have to understand Indian's culture, attitude, behavior, and lifestyle. Missing any of those will be detrimental to the theme I'm writing. My Indian readers will see if what I write totally coincide with their history and culture. So many things to consider and search.

However, I'm thankful for my experience living in Bangladesh for three and a half years. This country was under past India, ruled by the British Raj.

By the way, do you know that authors chat in discord just for fun and voicing our complaints? Here's one complain topic we have today. Some troll readers are adding nonsense or attack tags on the contracted original books. A book which has no sex was tagged with smut. Those have no rape, a tag rape was found. A pure, man and woman, love story novel was tagged yaoi(boy love). Some cultivation stories have bleach tag in it. Isn't that crazy?

One book of LuoYeLuoYing has this funny tags, probably from fans: luo is awesome, luo is best, i love luo, and troll or attack tags: BLs, boylove, and Gay. And Zehell2218's book has noyaoi tag.

We, authors, really don't understand the minds of the readers. Maybe some hate our books and attack and some are pure nonsense. And we have no way to delete them. It will be a bad reputation for hardworking authors. I hope no one will do that to my books.

Anyway, I will update when my mentor's judgment is out.

Have a good and fruitful day.
