Save the Hero

I actually came a ew interesting things as I was writing my novel. One is that Leyla isn't me. Or I am not Leyla. She is her own person, and though we make think alike, and I may get her in ways noone else might, she's a dierent person. I didscovered that while writing, because she did things I could never have the strength to, she handles things in a way i wish i could've. In fact, she's just like everyone else, but has to learn to think quicker, move faster, and love deeper. She's not a goody-goody, she has downfalls to her character, not fake ones,but real ones, but she is a characte i am proud of.

I also discovered another thing. I think like her, most of the time anyway, and in order to get the best version o this novel i decided, even though it is detriment to everything i have accomplished thus far, that I should write this in third person narrative. Leyla is a strong character, and her storyline alone is enough to warrant a series, but when i write from 'I' I tnd to not write what she does, but ather what I would do. And it's selish of me to do so.

It's strange because, after listening to this song, when i first wrote most of the novel (which i now have to rewrite) i discovered leyla herself has her own demons, and she feels like she has to save her one true love, Sebastian.
