This is going to sound conceited until I explain it: mine!

But this is why: I have created places that are beautiful to me - I create places that I think would be the most interesting to explore! My worlds are tailored to me - to what I love and to where I would love to go. Adventure, intrigue, and wild beauty.

Another reason I would love to go to mine is because I have thousands of Anti-Worlds to try! I know how to travel between them (because I made it up) and even though I would probably die immediately (I'm no Claire Fraser), I would get to visit a few before being gobbled up by a rogue beast.

I suppose that answers the question: what would I do there: die. I would just go to my beautiful world and die because I don't have any survival skills.

I would LOVE to visit many, many other worlds but I really would not survive any of them. I would love to see Noctum in Sydney Mann's book "The Dark Wood" or visit Aroonyx in J.M. Buckler's "Seeker of Time" series. I would love to visit any of Sarah J. Maas' worlds and any of Holly Black's...but every one of these places has villains and dictators and bloodthirsty fairies who really have it out for humans...It would not go well, so I'm afraid to dream!(less)

Moira is the first real one I've had, and I think after these stories have been written, there's a chance I will fall away from inspiration until another story strikes me. I haven't been uninspired since this thread of books have fallen into my brain.

As far as "daily writing" goes, I keep plugging away as best I can, but I take lots of breaks. Music inspires/spurs me the most. Every time I listen to the playlists I've created for the books I'm working on, my fingers start itching to write, no matter how stumped I am on a scene or character.(less)

Bonjour!

Update time! Now that I've written Moira - the first installment in a series of eight (it was supposed to be 3, FYI) - my goal is to smash out all seven skeletons of the remaining books through to the end of 2020. I'll spend 2021 beating them down to what they need to be - killing darlings and fine-tuning them to be exactly what I want before combing through them with a proper editor. Finally, th

This short story was a treat! I've always enjoyed Ducarte's narrative voice! She manages to wrap whimsy with reality in a fantastical braid that is both pleasing and curious.

This brief foray into an asylum was bright and buoyant with a respectful nod

I can't rate it! Ugh. I'm the problem, I'm sorry; this book was not my cup of tea. I loved CC1 and everything else SJM has written, but I'm really struggling here.

It took me two years to read this book, and I made myself read the first half twice to

“But I think the first real change in women’s body image came when JLo turned it butt-style. That was the first time that having a large-scale situation in the back was part of mainstream American beauty. Girls wanted butts now. Men were free to admit that they had always enjoyed them. And then, what felt like moments later, boom—Beyoncé brought the leg meat. A back porch and thick muscular legs were now widely admired. And from that day forward, women embraced their diversity and realized that all shapes and sizes are beautiful. Ah ha ha. No. I’m totally messing with you. All Beyonce and JLo have done is add to the laundry list of attributes women must have to qualify as beautiful. Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes.”
