H.R. Harrison is the penname of an unfortunate soul whose ancestors opted to Americanize pronunciation… but not spelling.

She is a linguist and ESL (English as Second Language) teacher by trade, and spends a lot of time thinking about communication, language, and how words… word.

She has a love for fantasy, mythos, and genre subversion, and has a tendency to fall into research pits while trying to write. Therefore, she knows a lot of random trivia about a lot of random topics.

Her hobbies include sleeping, getting far too invested in possibly queer fictional characters, and, recently, marveling at the weirdness of Madame d'Aulnoy's contes de fées in the original French.

Often, I'll end up writing at least a few paragraphs. If not, I might start something new entirely; maybe look up a new fairy tale to adapt, start a fanfiction for a new fandom, or work on my D&D campaign.
If all else fails, I reread old favorite books or fics and remind myself what it is I want to give people by writing. (less)

If you break any story down to its basics, they've *all* been told before. What makes yours special is your perspective, what tropes and plotlines you like, what characters move you. You don't have to reinvent tea; just make a blend you want to drink. There will be others who want to drink it too."(less)
