June 2016


Cat Sirota moved to Middle Earth (known informally as New Zealand) at the age of 12. The moody, romantic landscape inspired her passion for fantasy novels and would go on to shape her own fiction writing, setting the scene for lush worldbuilding, dark characters, and satisfying plot twists.

Every morning, at 5am, long before her rambunctious household has risen, Cat pours a cup of coffee and gets to work. When she isn’t writing and editing, she’s lost in the stories of authors like LJ Andrews, Penn Cole, and Jennifer L. Armentrout. For Cat, only one thing trumps the magical alchemy of reading, and that is crafting new portals of escapism in her own stories.

Another technique that I haven't tried yet but want to is to think of something so wild in the story, something completely left field (that would create a massive plot hole), and work back from there. By doing this, I'm told that it can help overcome your current challenge. (less)

Down the Fantasy Rabbit Hole: the what, why, and how I became a writer.

I'll be upfront and honest: I'm not a writer who was a child prodigy who started writing stories as I was learning to walk. I vaguely remember attempting to write a story but quickly lost interest and moved on. But growing up, I did love books.

I have many memories of reading books at home, on vacation, and at friends' and families' houses. Some of my early memories of reading came from authors li Read more of this blog post »
