How can you tell if your character is boring and two dimensional?

What decides what group age should or would most likely read a book?

My main character is 36-37 years of age... Her love interest is about 100+ years. Is this too strange? They are both expected to live very long lives 1000+ years. Please help.

I am planning on putting some of the middle part of my novel in the beginning of the first chapter. Do think it is a good idea? Or is it confusing?

I am writing a novel. I can't stop thinking about the characters and their history. I try to think of explanations for everything that happens e.g. They live long lives because they have better mitochondria and look different because of the change in DNA expression, histon methylation..etc. it is driving me crazy as I am trying to understand all that happens to even the characters that have no importance to the story i.e. they died long time ago. Am I taking this too seriously?

So, my character is not human. Let's say ( e.g. Vampire ). He used to live in the vampire world and decided he wanted to live between humans. How can he blend in our society? Find a job and have an identity? He never was a human before and never will be. So, how can he start his life in our world realistically? I just need ideas. This is not the plot of my story.

Should I write in third person or first person? I am an amateur and inexperienced. The story is an epic adventure of a group of people. It has one main charecter but I am not sure if I want to write in first person. It scares me to do so. I feel like I might easily go overboard. Please help.

I hate her so much. She is so selfish and arrogant. She changes and becomes a good person, but I still hate her I want to kill her off. Is this normal? She is supposed to become a hero in the end. Would get annoyed with such a character? Her love interest is stupid, childish. What do you think? I actually like him better, but I still think they are both annoying at times. I can't think of any other personalities to give them.

What do you think?

I am writing a fight scene. I think my writing is bland and confusing. What should I do? This is part of what I wrote:

Stunned, the sharp pain ripping through her left upper-arm arrived delayed . Reflexively, she covered it with her right hand. The warm moisture on her hand, alerted her to a deep gash, bleeding profusely. She didn’t have time to fully register what happened, when she felt a strong force shattering her left side. Losing her balance, she used her right arm for support and her Weight to deliver a roundhouse kick in the direction of her attacker. It didn't connect, her leg cut through air throwing her off balance. She fell flat on her back. Senses heightened, she rolled on the floor avoiding another kick to her stomach. She jumped to her feet, ignoring the pain in her arm. Her eyes searched her surrounding desperately. Veins pulsed as blood rushed vigorously through them. The the sound of the shattering wall-mirror beside her, awakened a strange powerful Instinct. She rushed toward her bedroom, avoiding unseen bullets that met her wall soundlessly.

What do you think? I really don't know how to write fight scenes and would appreciate your help.

It's fantasy. It has a lot of people dying and suffering. It's about struggle for freedom and against oppression. The ending is somewhat happy but not entirely. I was thinking of a few names and want to see what others you suggest, as the ones Ihave are so lame.

My English is not very good. I am trying to write a novel. I know you would tell me to write it in my native language, but the problem is I studied too much in English that I forgot my own language. Anyway, this is a paragraph in my own story. It's supposed to be in the end of the first chapter. Tell me what I can do to improve it and if it is passable.

On her way back, she stopped by her favorite café. Thus, she headed home a little later than usual. It wasn’t too unusual for her to do so. The only problem was that she had so much work to do, it would take her all night to finish preparing for tomorrow.

Climbing the stairs lazily, she made her way up to her apartment. She paused in front of the door momentarily, hesitating to go in. She couldn’t help but feel a dark discomfort seep through her whole being. She took a deep breath and turned the handle. She examined the place briefly, peeking through the door. It was too dark to see all the details, but not too much not to see at all. When she saw nothing, she decided to enter.Closing the door behind her, she unthinkingly turned on the light. Once the room was illuminated an unexpected sight glared at her. It made her heart stop. Her eyes widened in surprise and her breathing stilled.

what do you think? Is it too stupid? I mean the way I write. I can't help it.

I'm working on a novel currently where the main character is:

-female

-half human

-30 years old

-With supernatural powers

-Ends up saving the world

-Has tragic past

Would this put you off from reading it?

How do you describe a character's face - or appearance in general- without sounding like you're praising her. I mean I don't want to describe my character as beauty queen or something like that. I want her to sound normal but not plain. So, any ideas?

My laptop has been acting crazy for a couple of weeks now. It doesn't start charging unless I place it in a certain position and sometimes that doesn't even work. Suddenly, it would shut down even if it was full charged if it was still plugged in. Any idea what the problem could be? solution??

I know it will look so unnatural and fake, but I'm sick of my hair and want to change to something crazy. I have dark hair so I want to know if it might look just too ugly. :D

I want to know what aspects should be mentioned and what to neglect. I'm currently in the second chapter and wasn't able to introduce more than the main character's name and job. Please help!

The name is Lina the character is a 53-year-old woman. She is single, half Indian and has low confidence. She is an action hero in the story.

I'm writing a novel in English which is not my first language but only my second. My English is very good I hardly have any grammar mistakes but my problem is that my vocabulary is limited. I need an editor for my novel to make it appear better written. Any ideas?

The reason I'm writing in English is personal but I'm currently unable to write in my first language.
