131 - Creating Whimsical Realms, with Danielle M Orsino
In this episode:
Danielle M Orsino is a fantasy novelist whose lifelong vision is to create whimsical realms that her readers can escape to. Her compelling word-weaving pays homage to a multitude of personal musings from Chris Claremont and George Perez to Anne Rice, Jim Henson and Wonder Woman.
With an unwavering passion for cosplay and comics, it was a unanimous decision by her publishers to place her on the cover of each book in all her Fae cosplay glory (and the covers look amazing!)
The Birth of Fae, her book series, features Los, an affable chameleon dragon inspired by her fun-loving Yorkie named Carlos.
I had a lovely conversation with Danielle, her passion, her enthusiasm, her creativity and the joy that she takes in the work she does, and the cosplay that she takes part in.
It is clear right from the outset, she really enjoys her writing. She enjoys telling stories. She enjoys doing the marketing for it and the creative visual side of it all.
It was a lovely reminder to me that this is meant to be fun. It's easy for writers to get caught up in the seriousness of the work we're doing and the earnestness of the craft of writing. But really, what draws us to this is the chance to be creative, the chance to play, to explore, to be other people for a period. My conversation with Danielle was a wonderful and timely reminder of that.
So, if you've been feeling that you're getting stuck in the quagmire of the story you're telling and perhaps just taking things a little too seriously, then this conversation with Danielle is what you need. It will help remind you that you're doing this for the love of it.
