Sorry, I am not able to understand the question. Are you asking about RMFAO? If not, please can you help me understand? :)

Hello, Ri. I'm not sure if anyone can make their book available for free on Goodreads unless it is a classic (and have no idea how the other librarians here do it.) We can only list the book here along with the Amazon and other links where they can buy the book. Though you can approach the reviewers here and offer them your book like the usual way.
I'm not on KDP, so have no idea about anything related to it. Sorry, if my answer wasn't of any help to you.

When I started writing, like for the first time 5 years ago, I started to write a romance story as I was totally smitten by the genre at that time, but after a couple of weeks, I realized that something was missing from the story... and it kept nagging me for a long time until one day, I realized that it was lacking the thrills of a murder and the taste of a psychopath character. And that was the time I realized that it was the love of dark thriller/slasher genre, that has always been dormant somewhere in my sub-consciousness, that was deciding the fate of my writing. And then when I abandoned that story and filed it away for later, and got started on another one, it was so exciting that finished my book in 8 months. So that is how I picked the genre as an author.
Hope this answers your question. Thanks a ton for asking. Means a lot to me :)

Writing on dark themes is not as easy as one might think; you have to live the worst and the most terrifying nightmares, again and again, till they consume you entirely and become an inseparable part of you that you start dreading.

To deal with writer's block, I read books and watch a lot of movies/TV series in my genre. This helps my creative mind to untangle itself and serves as a great stimulus to get the creative juices flowing again in my mind.
Other than these two common solutions, meditation, yoga, walking and jogging also help a lot!
While suffering from a particularly serious bout of writer's block, I turn towards more creative measures like Freewriting and Prompt Writing.

My favorite fictional couples are (sorry I have more than one):
1) Nick and Amy Dunne (Gone Girl). They are the most sadistically perfect couple. Deep down they are mirror images in terms of character and hence, they understand each other extremely well.
2) Noah and Allie (The Notebook). They are the most iconic and the most adorable couple I've ever come across! They love each other so much that you can't help falling in love with them.
3) Ellie and Carl Fredricksen (Up). Do I have to say anything!?
Thanks for the question.

I don’t get asked a lot of questions upon refusing to attend public events. People (especially my mother) seem to somehow "understand" now that I'm an introvert, or maybe they think that I keep on writing day and night for some or the other project. Either way, I'm just happy that I can sit at home for days without leaving my home.
