The writer's voice - Beverley's perfection

There’s a lot of behind the scenes when it comes to write a book and when said book gets published. So much that is left unsaid but that somehow it was fundamental for the making of the stories that reach the readers.

Nothing is perfect, as I mentioned in the first post I dedicated to this interview; world knows no such thing. Somebody’s creature is perfect only when the creator’s instinct says it is, and we all know how hard is it for a writer to get to that point. Inevitably, once we re-read our children (our books) there’s always something missing, something that could’ve been done better, something that is just not how we wanted it to be.

And I asked Beverley about it, of course, because I’m a curious little bug, as Gabriel and Moth are. Can you really hold it against me?

Topics, characters and Villains - Beverley's world in details

Hello, welcome back again in this little corner of mine.

If you’re here it means you actually have read and enjoyed the previous post, where my interview with Beverley started, and you’re curious to know more—Or so I hope.

What I have to offer today, is her cast of characters and a little bit more details about the topics she deals with in the trilogy, but specifically related to each and every characters she gave birth to, so this second part will be fairly spoilery. If you didn't read the trilogy yet, please go and get the books, read them and come back. If you did read it, feel free to fangirl over it and have a look in this article, so that you can get to know little secrets and curiosities about it.

While you’re making up some pretty unbelievable excuses for why you didn't pick up the Gabriel Davenport Series yet, let’s spill some tea over our boys together with Beverley.

The actual making of the Gabriel Davenport Series - Part 1

There’s this weird obsession according to which being a blogger of any kind means that every post should be perfect and programmed to details; an obsession I feel like I somehow made mine, without thinking about the fact that it’s not like me at all looking for perfection in what I do just in order to look professional or like someone who’s got their shit together.

That’s why this post took ages to get here; I had to make my brain stop thinking about how I could make this next bunch of posts perfect for you, dear readers. Luckily I realized that it’s not like me at all aiming to something immaculate that conforms to the mass.

That’s not what you’ll find here – perfection, I mean. Far from that.
