My advice is easy to give and hard to do:
1. Don't quit! You can do this!!
2. Don't quit! You can do this!!
3. Don't quit! You can do this!!
4. Everyone has fantasies. EVERYONE. Don't be afraid to share yours. There is a REASON universal tropes are tropes! We all want to be loved. We all want to be chosen. We all want to be accepted. We all want to be seen as heroic, or taken out of our ordinary lives somehow. We all want. What do YOU want? Write a character who has some of your flaws and some of your strengths. In my very first book, Alien King Crashes the Wedding, the main character Sasha is shy and has to learn how to come out of her shell. I am shy. I hear all the time about Sasha from my readers. Some love her and some think she's too stupid to live. This is life. What can I say? Don't be afraid to write a character with real flaws. (Just not too many ;) )
