#WritersCoffeeClub 8: What experience can you identify as having made you the writer you are today?
I've been writing stories since I discovered that people actually made the awesome books I was reading. So long ago I don't remember it.
A big turning point in my writing journey was when, exhausted and short on ideas, I begged Joh to give me something to write about.
A bit fed up with me (I was being very dramatic), Joh suggested I write about necromancers.

He knew I was scared of them and thought it would make a good challenge. It did make a good challenge. I thought 'What would make necromancers less scary to me without changing their tropes at all?' And I had read lots of Terry Pratchett and thought, 'What if the book wasn't deadly serious?' Which at the time, was not something I'd ever thought I could do. But Tombtown was born, and from there I experimented with cosy fantasy, and now I'm the weirdo writer you see before you.
