I’ve used Lyam and Liam. Though neither characters in my WIPs have much significance yet.

I adopted a cat a few weeks ago. She’s a Tuxedo named Stella-Lu.

The Boy & The Heron, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki’s Delivery Service, From Up on Poppy Hill.
So far, my fav is Whisper of the Heart.
I love how aesthetically pleasing the films are.

Oh, some Studio Ghibli influence! A friend got me into the movies last year.

I like when people go into the actual myth of something. Don’t give me the children’s version, but the real one!

I’ll hopefully get around to the outline the last week in December 😅 I’ve spent way too much time in book research for the book

That’s a pretty cool fun fact! A lot of pages for a 10 year old to write! Always love a pirate story!

I wanted to be a vet when I was little, but I sucked at math which affected how I did in science.
I think your story sounds great! 😊

You have quite a lot on your plate.

Songs of Broken Bells sounds like a great title, also a sad one too.

Since Christmas and Halloween align with the Wheel of the Year seasonal festivals. I’d have to pick summer solstice—Kupala Night. Otherwise May Day for Spring, if I were ever to do a festive novella and to change it up.

That last part sounds like me: someday-rec books, someday-popular-at-the-time.

Do you like retellings and mythology? At home, I have yet to read Circe. I heard it’s a good book.

Mine too. There’s so many young readers who read up, so someone younger than the YA age range could be reading in that genre.
The non-existent NA section. 😅 If you think your book’s NA, then put it on Adult shelves. Let’s not do an SJM & years later market an original YA has Adult.

Not an author yet. But All. The. Time. I finish a novel and think “How did I write this?” And then think I can’t write anything after that. I think it’s where part of my imposter syndrome comes from. I make myself believe that I wrote in a haze & I won’t be able to write in such a way again.

I feel as creatives we’re def more empathetic towards the world & somehow it, among other things, affects us. There’s also the fact that sometimes it’s hard to find a famous creative who has an “normal healthy lifestyle.”

My poems for sure: Bright Dead Things by Ada Limon, Postcolonial Love Poem by Natalie Diaz, The Tradition by Jericho Brown, & Our Bearings by Molly McGlennen.

Dragons 👀 I could see that after GOT & Yaro’s success. Romantasy, yes! That’s been staying. publishing is about what’s the most marketable at the moment, but I do hope agents and editors pick manuscripts from the pile that they are interested in & not 100% what the market wants.

Publishing is so contradictory in that regard. The advice you’re given: “Write what you like,” then you try to get that published but you’re book may not be marketable at the time cuz of a certain trend. I’d love to see a change from Dystopian & Fantasy Faeries.
