Hey friends! It looks like we weren't able to resolve our tech issues sadly so we'll have to reschedule! @Brindizi Hamblin - To answer your question(s): I'm a big fan of Howl's Moving Castle and especially Howl Pendragon as a character. My upcoming book, Hawk & Sparrow, features a character who was loosely inspired by him. Re: Your question about different revising methods - Among my author friends, processes vary, but a lot is shaped by how you draft. I know some authors who draft slow, clean drafts and have much less to do in revisions. I have other friends who do quick and dirty first drafts knowing they'll do heavier work in revisions. Many more authors fall somewhere in the middle. As for me, I like to start every draft from a blank page and rewrite as opposed to editing in-text. Something around writing the whole thing over is helpful for me, but many friends are horrified when I tell them! Like most things in writing, you should do what feels best to you!
Hello there!
So excited to be reunited with StoryCon folks online! My name's Ayana, and I'm a full-time author in the SFF space! One of my favorite parts of my job (and the life I've built through being a full-time creative), is that I'm always learning! Glad to be here, and as excited to share knowledge as I am to learn from all of you! Happy Spring!
