I would travel to the world of Fonda Lee's Green Bone Saga, and take a tour of the city of Janloon!

I think about something else for a while. Seriously, just taking a break and watching Netflix can be a real help. Also, re-reading my old stuff, even writing projects that didn't work out. It reminds me that I *can* write, and that not being able to write for a day or a couple of days is not that big a deal.

Exploring new worlds and inhabiting new lives. I love writing about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances, and applying logic to fantastical situations.

I usually write short fiction rather than whole books, but my most recent novella was inspired by the Latinx tradition of the quinceanera. In my universe of the Drowned World, the Sea People are descended from Latinx ethnic groups, and their culture is heavily influenced by South and Central American traditions. The quinceanera is an important ritual in many Latinx cultures. So how would the Sea tribes incorporate it into their cultures and communities? I wrote the novella to find out!
