Bloganuary writing promptWhat is your favorite animal?View all responses Image by Alexa from Pixabay I am a huge lover of animals in general, and it's so hard to pick my favorite.

My Mission? I Build Worlds.

What is your mission? Art by gynesisx! I'm an author, and super proud to be one. I can't stop creating, and one of the creations I'm most proud of is the lore for my "Kingdoms of Blood" series, living vampires. There's something special about worldbuilding that I can't describe.

Sometimes, I wished she would doContinue reading "The Mirror Trope"
