Quotes by Krista D. Ball (?)

“Never let the details take over the story; let the story dictate what details to use.”
― Krista D. Ball, What Kings Ate and Wizards Drank

1 likes

“We don’t need to justify disability, gender, people of colour, and varied sexual orientations and identities. People just exist in real life. They don’t need to be explained or justified. Likewise, people do not need to be justified in books. They just exist. If we can even get used to the background, minor people to reflect reality, that would be an improvement towards changing the Strong Female Character into a strong character who happens to be female this time around.”
― Krista D. Ball, Appropriately Aggressive: Essays About Books, Corgis, and Feminism

“When a thundering horde of drunken Vikings rush a person, it's only natural to flinch.”
