9. Santa or Krampus
Do you think that in like 100 years popular culture will shift and we'll see hairy, scary men donning horns for the kids Christmas party?
I don't think so. Santa's infectious joy and mass appeal is unbeatable. All power to the jolly red man!

8. Seasons
Hidden Face takes place in the time bridging Spring and Summer, the months of Undertow and Blazing. Twin Minds takes place in late Summer into Autumn, the months of Ash, Enervation and Prevailing.
I plan for the third book to be very winter coded. Cold and final.

7. Naughty vs. Nice
Jynrahd: Nice - but he doesn't agree. He's not nice. Not really.
Trikk: Nice - he's very happy to be there, he must be the only goblin!
Aurora: Nice - well, naturally. The red man doesnt see *everything*
Fjorm: Naughty - she hardly needs any approval...

3. Chemists & alchemists
Though he'd prefer the term 'physician', Míach qualifies as the former. He studies and develops new forms of herbal medicine from Norne's many magical plants.
Specifically, he creates healing tea blends. He'll gladly lend you his ear and his teacup.

5. Wintery movies
My family tend to put on the HP movies around Xmas, and I agree they're a staple British Christmas tradition.
But for a less problematic option, I first watched The Shining on Christmas Eve night 2021, and that made me feel...cold.

4. Holiday recipes
I'm not a cook. If it doesn’t have instructions with a wattage attached I just don't wanna know.
I do, however, make a mean hot chocolate. A smidge of vanilla, whipped cream and a crumbled-up Oreo is my go-to.
Man, I'm gonna put on half a DeVito this month.

3. Winter book recs
Every aspiring fantasy writer should read Legends and Lattes at least once. I know, that's like recommending Friends or The Simpsons, but let me tell you this: no book has ever made me feel cosier and more at home in its world. Perfect for a chilly winter.

2. Holidays
Many festivals and holidays are celebrated in Norne, as in the real world. Around this time of year, they partake in Loftin’s Day.
Today, the goal is to learn something new. A fun fact or easy skill. You then share it at the evening meal, chanting "Loftin knows!"

1. Hi! Yes! I'm here!
I'm not late, who said that?
Anyhow, I'm Phoenix. I'm a dragon and a writer of cosy fantasy with characters that leapt from DnD sheet to page to my brain, rent free.
Hoping to break into narration and voice acting in the near future!

28. Collections
I've collected a few things in my time - i still have a huge crowd of Amiibos from when Smash 4 was big. Right now the answer seems to be plushies. I'm starting to run out of places.
The Toy Story antics in my flat when I'm out must be wild.

27. What am I thankful for?
Not a day goes by where I don't feel thankful for my friends and loved ones. I also treasure my home, which i own, and that I have the means to provide for myself and my pet.
And I'm thankful for my creativity. It drives me on every day.

26. Titles
I wanted my trilogy's titles to have a connecting theme, so I decided to use a well-known trifecta: body, mind and soul.
Book 1: Hidden Face
Book 2: Twin Minds
Book 3: Unshackled Soul
It's a tad shaky, but I'm happy with it. Sorta thing you might go "ohhh-!" at.

24. Music while writing
I have a whole background music playlist saved on YouTube, and I'm a frequent partaker of '1 hour ambient music' videos. Not just while writing but essential when I am - though when I write outside the flat, I prefer the natural background noise.

19. Challenging parts of writing
For me it's exposition. I struggle with that ever-present problem: I know exactly what's going to happen, but I need to write it in a way that both feels natural and explains things sufficiently, but not excessively.
Makes my head hurt.

I also play video games, read, occasionally draw and look after my bearded dragon.
