![]() ![]() The cats were inspired by night elf druids in their DPS form. You can’t play World of Warcraft for nearly a decade and NOT write a portal fantasy featuring attractive demon women, am I right? Also, there were more cats. And when I say seriously, I mean a 135,000 word portal fantasy that was essentially World of Warcraft fanfiction. I didn’t start writing seriously until I was about 20. Kind of weird, now that I think about it. I rewrote that novel (a way shorter version, obviously) in which there was much more cat romance. I mean, I did write Warriors fanfiction when I was like ten, because I was pissed off when Spottedleaf died in book one. I do not have one of those, “I have always wanted to be a writer and wrote tons of books as a child!” stories. Or, at the very least, I hope it doesn’t make you feel worse? Maybe both? Hopefully reading this makes you feel better. It’s like a weird compulsion, and I’m still not fully sure whether it made me feel inspired or terrible. Let me start off by saying that if you’re in the query trenches right now and you’re reading this post because you’re a little bit excited and a little bit masochistic, I totally get it. Honestly, I’m still side-eyeing my inbox waiting for my agent to email me like, “Ok, never mind, now that I’m re-reading your book I’ve realized that it sucks.” I can’t even tell you how many times I thought I would never write this post. ![]()
