Which career to pursue.
Atom Yang
Alec Holland and Abigail Arcane from Alan Moore's run of The Saga of the Swamp Thing. Their relationship had all the elements of romance, adventure, mystery, and magic. He's a monster (actually a Swamp God avatar of Earth) and she's a woman with a troubled past, but together, they found a way to love each other and make each other better people. Alec even goes to the Underworld to retrieve her soul. *That's* love.

I'm working on a several romance novels right now, all with diverse protagonists and characters. One involves vampires and cowboys, another has poly witches (psychics) in it, a third deals with a meteor smashing into the earth, and the last one is a contemporary story surrounding food, a restaurant, and homelessness.

Creating stories that connect people with themselves and each other.

Writing is as much something I do for fun as it is something I do for work, and my work ethic dictates that I show up and do my job regardless of how I'm feeling. This doesn't mean I don't have days where the words and ideas don't flow, but the way to deal with writer's block is to keep moving through it, knowing that it's temporary, and realizing that I can revise or toss whatever it is I've written if I don't like it.
