The Writer's Block

My sister took more photos of my dress. I am very happy with how this turned out :)))))

How can I do this as a MAN?

At least according to the old continuity, the Wookiees were skilled explorers, and their Clatuuvac Guild had the secrets to a number of hyperspace routes, especially through the Core (it's why the Separatists were so keen to take the planet in Revenge of the Sith)... And Chewbacca was one of the people who knew these hyperspace routes.

No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.

1. canonically female (no variation)

2. canonically the protagonist of her story (if it’s an ensemble cast you have to say you can legitimately see her as The main character)

3. your personal #1 favorite character in that story (ties are acceptable)

... have... have we considered that perhaps the average reader just, like, knows what they like in a book? I mean... first sentences are famous for establishing things like *checks notes*... genre, tone, POV, pacing, character, voice, uhhh... writing style...

The average reader is putting your book down because they discovered it's in first person (or not in first person). The average reader put your book down because they wanted a cozy read, or they're sick of cozy reads, or romance, or grimdark, or assassin princesses, or vampires, or or or. The average reader put your book down because they just didn't like your writing style—no, not because it was boring... they just, get this, didn't like it.

The average critical reader put your book down because it had six grammatical mistakes in the first two sentences.

The average reader will read quite a ways if the premise intrigues them, they like the genre, the writing style doesn't get on their nerves, and the characters pop off the page. In fact, they'll probably read the whole book, so long as it delivers on its plot promises and doesn't drag in the middle section.

I know that is generally because the characters this is in reference to are nearly always base human, but I just think a play on that DnD meme where the bartender has a massive book of all species drinking age would be very funny here.

Just a random Mando presenting their brand new ad to the Goran, and them having to pull out this massive book of species developmental psychology and asking for species and date of birth. Then, you have to really hope they have that date of birth in galactic standard and not some localized calendar as I imagine most children would be familiar with first, if that random orphan knows their birth date at all.
