Nah, you'll be grand. How often do you even know what the author of a book looks like? I think most people won't realise the link.

Ta! I did think how many ginger freckly transgender boys who play football could there possibly be but the other concepts (ignoring physical features) don’t give off the same vibe I envisioned for the character

Not at all

Not at all! I often presume the author imagines one of the characters looking like themselves anyway, cos I think I would if I wrote a story based on something from my experience ☺️
