The human spirit
Alas it's been a rough year four people I loved have passed on and that of course has thrown me off course on my writing.
BUT thanks to the resilience of the human spirit I have started catching up. I've found that Enchanted is taking a page from current events that are getting weaved into the story. However that being the case it has to be subtle and not become over political or religious in tone.
The point of young adult fantasy is to take readers to someplace new and I hope I can do that.
Falcon Ridge also took a little bit of it's plot from current events. Mostly to do with what destroying the earth can do to humanity. This is a timeless trope that never goes stale so hopefully I will get it picked up by a traditional publisher.
Is anyone else finding their writing influenced by events of today?
