#WIPSnips Today, we discover why exactly the Norsemen thought Freya's holy animals were cats. It's Sif's doing. Freya (this is a little known fact) is allergic to cats.

#NorseMythology won't know what hit it...

Book I:
→ www.whyodindrinks.com
Sif’s lips formed an ‘o’ shape. Freya clearly hated cats. Wouldn’t it be hilarious to spread rumours about the cats being Freya’s holy animals she was always surrounded with? Instead of Thor’s chariot, pulled by goats, Freya’s would of course be pulled by cats… The steely smirk returned. Cats, the only animals you could count on to never listen to commands. A semi-forgotten piece of knowledge arrived: Bragi, the God of bards, poets, and singer-songwriters. Surely he wouldn’t refuse The Immortal Goddess Sif a tiny favour of spreading the word about Freya’s love for cats.

In a good novel, the writer writes ongoing 'hooks'. They don't rely on the first hook thinking it will have sufficient hook energy to power the whole novel. Instead, as they develop character, they litter the novel with life problems. Your character evolves.
