The Author and the Character

 Before a novel starts, the author plans:
Is it action-packed or a paradise of romance?
Who’s the main character and his adversary?
Will the hero die or live happily?

In all novels, the author knows what the hero drinks
What he’s gonna do or what he thinks.
What’s up next, the hero knows not
But the author does, I’m sure of that.

The author is on a view deck seeing everything
The character is on the field, doing what the author is wishing.
If characters could talk about events, they might protest
I’m sure the author would explain, “It’s for the best.”

We are characters in the novel titled life, written at our birth
 It’s for a happy ending and it’s much more than money’s worth.
Our story was planned perfectly, every detail with love
We’re characters of the novel written by God above.
