《Meet the authors Showcase Edition #1 (Est. 2/17/2020)》A showcase with @StarfishBooks, author of Althea

Honestly, I worked a retail job in highschool and would get bored and just start daydreaming, and voila characters and mythology were born.
I struggle to be lengthy with my writing, I am far too concise. This habit was trained into me in nursing school and I find it very difficult to expand upon things.
3
I think most like it! The romance aspect isn't instant and they find the fresh take on common mythological creatures refreshing.
4
I am a sap at heart, so I enjoyed the romance immensely, but also the magic and Brynhilde, as she reminds me of myself.
5
At the moment it's a standalone, but hopefully when the inspiration strikes me I can throw myself into the sequel I've always wanted to do! I do have an accompaniment book as well.
6
In our world, people feel the need to find something to be good at, to be the best at so they feel worthy of love and attention. I want them to know they don't need to BE something, just someone to somebody.
My main character shares a few qualities, but what author can help themselves? One of my second characters, Brynhilde, is certainly more like me then Althea is.
8
Honestly, updates. And a sequel! It's been so hard between college and now this pandemic to try and find the energy and inspiration to write and read.
9
I have a few I'm dying to write that aren't in the fiction genre. One day, hopefully soon.

McShot's Crazy House: Many Stories in One Setting, It's an Anthology!
*This is my first time attempting to author on Royal Road and as such I cannot find a true series to write. Due to this, I will occasionally produce one shots or add on to existing one shots on this page. As such, do not believe too much of what I marked in the genre boxes. I will try and update as much as once a week but I procrastinate things like crazy so start out by hoping for by-weekly updates first.Welcome to McShot's Crazy House! I am Mr. McShot, the lord of this incredible house you are now residing in. In each door resides a different world with a different story. Of course, looking inside for too long may hurt your eyes so I will limit the amount of exposure. Plus there is food and magic aplenty. May there be something to your liking.
