My favorite aspect to explore is the desire for growth. Always learning more, seeing more, and doing more. I like watching my characters find their way to bigger and better things as they grow.

Depends on the project! But for my next book, some of the “monsters” (gods) are their own people while also mirroring and adding to some of Bell’s internal struggles, like her social anxiety and growing sense of being overwhelmed

So, so many elements. I especially like to explore dissent - on every level from familial to political. How we engage in it, the price attached to it, and also the price of NOT doing it. Being into horror, I do also of course like to consider fear and trauma.

TBB Chat Q2: What is your favorite part of humanity to explore?

#TBBChat #BookBazaar26 #Writing #Writesky

A1: I think my monsters most often represent suppressed elements of our own personalities, or Nature - embodied and raw with betrayal.

#TBBChat 1:
The monsters I write represent excess. Taking more than they need, demanding more than they are owed, etc. Selfishness and all the darker parts of the soul. Or at least, that's what I try to convey. I'm getting better at that as I write.

Hi. I'm Anna. I write across the SFFH spectrum, but I most often alight on eco fiction and cosmic horror #TBBChat

Themselves? I prefer not to give symbolic meaning to my monsters, human or nonhuman. It gets in the way of my writing, makes me anxious.

Hello, it's Vincent, trans man author of mostly trans man led fiction. I write a lot of horror but sometimes dabble in other genres. Currently procrastinating on an omegaverse murder mystery short story I plan to release Halloween week. Wish me luck

Let's get into the Halloween season with some questions about monsters and humans.

TBB Chat Q1: What do your monsters represent?

Hi #TBBChat!
I'm Sherrie. I write to keep the voices calm and quiet. When there is nothing being written, things get dark and scary.

I missed #TBBChat last week bc I thought it was a Sunday thing.

smh

I need a calendar and an assistant to keep my calendar

Gotta be Lord Gro from E.R. Eddison's "The Worm Ouroboros." Somehow both a languid philosopher and an agent of chaos.

Good old Original Trilogy Darth Vader (Annakin Skywalker was a crybaby traumatised by sand)

His big and imposing, has a distinctive sound, and comes with a cool soundtrack

I like something imposing rather than the holier than thou, smarter than all wanker getting high on their own munificence

Think Darth Vader, the Terminator, the shark in Jaws, or the Xenomorph, difficult things to outwit
