Azrael knows his own limits, but that doesn't mean he'll act accordingly!

It's impossible to hide love for Lucifer! Even my youngest kid noticed how much me and my eldest love him, she made us a card with "The duck guy from that show you watch" 😁 When she's old enough to watch it herself, she'll probably love him too 😂

I made a Curly Arrow Thing for #ATOTH, the book I've been working on for way too long!

Raffia would rather forget the events of the opening scene!
Azrael did forget a fair amount, but things start coming back to him when he meets Raff.

There is a LOT of injury in #ATOTH — mostly Azrael taking various blades to various body parts — so rather than listing them all, I thought I'd share a snippet!

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 13 — Childhood books.
Clearly I've been neglecting this.
When I was really little, I had this bargain bin copy of Little Red Riding Hood that I made my mum read multiple times a day. Apparently it was awful! I loved all of the wolf-related fairy tales.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 10 — writing strengths:
Maybe my prose, particularly wording choice and cadence. Or maybe dialogue and character voice? I can also do description (when I feel like it). My biggest strength is probably subtextomancy, though!

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 9 — Something your MC would like to try:
Raffia: "Wh-why would I want to t-try anything?"
Azrael: *Shrugs* "I'll try anything twice."
Pretty much sums it up.

#ATOTH wouldn't translate well on screen. Maybe animation, but as it satirises so many elements of visual media, it'd simply become that which it holds a mirror to, which defeats the purpose. I sometimes imagine the voice cast, though.

Best writing advice: Ask yourself two questions. Does it sound good? Does it make sense?
Worst writing advice: "Avoid adverbs" and the likes. They're not necessarily wrong, but they're widely misunderstood and notoriously under-explained.

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 6: MC's sense of humour
I could waste time talking about Raffia's sense of humour, but Azrael's is far superior. Puns, word play, dad jokes, silliness, cheeky comments... He's got the full comedic package!

#FantasyIndiesJanuary 5: Superstition in WIP
I don't think I have anything that truly counts here. I googled a list and found "lucky underwear" so I guess Azrael's socks are as close as we're gonna get 😂

Attempting #FantasyIndiesJanuary, despite my rich history of abandoning them!
1. Hi, I'm Mana. I'm still working on #ATOTH, which is a... *checks notes* satirical exploration of themes such as fandom and neurodivergence in a fantasy-esque setting with a heavy focus on romantic subplots.

#WritingCommunity, what's your favourite perspective to write in?
I've recently seen posts on other platforms debating first and third person, but no one ever talks about second — other than to hate on it!
I don't think I could write an entire novel in second, but it's fun to dabble in 😁
