Hazel Hayes is out here making me wanna record silly little rambling videos about writing and shit

[dramatic-long-coats]

Feet firm on the ground

We stood hand in hand

The world seemed to tell me

That I have a plan

Together, we sang

"I'm ready, now"

~Ready now, Dodie

Hi! I’m such a fan of your work. I saw your post about waking up to write in your notes app (relatable by the way) and wondered if you could share a little bit about what your novel is about? If someone has asked or you’re not able to share, no worries ❤️ I would read anything you write. Happy Friday!

Yes! I can share a bit, thank you for asking. I'm currently swept up in something unlike anything I've written or really experienced as a writer before, which is exciting and a bit terrifying and mostly makes me wish I'd bothered to learn to type properly so I could get it all down faster. It's a portal fantasy with world building that intrigues and excites me, and characters that are jumping off the page shouting over each other in distinct voices to tell me their backstories and hopes and dreams. What's really different for me is I don't have any kind of outline. I've never done discovery writing before, but it's working well so far. Wild times! I don't want to share too much until I have it further underway, but it has doors to other worlds, a young woman who cannot be anything but Entirely Herself and is dying to get some space from her fathers, an over-involved house, and a too-charming rogue who crashes foot-first through their front door clinging to a length of sawn-off rope (geometry gets complicated). Right now it feels like something for people who like Susanna Clarke, Terry Pratchett, Erin Morgenstern and Dodie Smith, only obviously I'm not that brilliant lol. Here's a tiny snippet:

“It's perfectly normal to fall in love with the aesthetics of other people's religions,” said Marinette defensively. “What matters is how you behave about it.”

Hello. I've already read the Kingston Cycle, Half a Soul and I'm about to finish the Stariel books. Do you have more recommendations? Thank you in advance.

Oh absolutely!

A Matter of Magic, by Patricia C. Wrede (for cross-country Regency romps, rogues, magicians, spies, and Ladies of Quality)

A Marvellous Light, by Freya Marske (for murder and mystery and secret Edwardian wizardry, romance, grand old houses and creepy curses)

Spellbound, by Allie Therin (for forbidden love, found family, and frightening magic in 1920s New York)

Shades of Milk and Honey, by Mary Robinette Kowal (for frothy and impeccably evocative Regency magic)

Sorcerer to the Crown, by Zen Cho (for schemes both magical and mundane and the world of fairy crossing into the world of the tonne)

To Say Nothing of the Dog, by Connie Willis (for laugh-out-loud time travel shenanigans and questionable Victorian aesthetic choices)

Soulless, by Gail Carriger (for vampire assassins, werewolf aristocrats, interrupted tea time, and other terrible inconveniences which may beset a young lady)

A little darker:

The Magpie Lord, by KJ Charles (for semi-secret magical society, creepy family estate, steamy romance all in an Extremely Victorian Gothic setting)

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke (clever and deeply atmospheric tour of a magical 19th century England, but definitely not romance)

Salt Magic, Skin Magic, by Lee Welch (for curses and magical bonds and frightening fairies)

Widdershins, by Jordan L Hawk (for Gilded Age mystery and romance featuring Lovecraftian horror and humor)

More fantasy:

Uprooted, by Naomi Novik (for fairytale magic and whimsy, adventure and romance and creepy trees)

Seducing the Sorcerer, by Lee Welch (for wizard fashion, romance and humor and whimsical magic)

Stardust, by Neil Gaiman (for wild romps in the fairyland next door, alternately humorous and haunting)

More historical:

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by KJ Charles (for saucy Regency romance and determined social scheming)

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (for dry humor, wacky hijinx, and extended family shenanigans)

Hither Page or The Missing Page by Cat Sebastian (village and manor house mysteries respectively, featuring lots of queer romance and found family with a dash of jaded post-war espionage)

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (for yearning and laughs and first love and an eccentric family living in an increasingly run down castle)

A little farther from the brief, but might be worth checking out On Vibes:

The Left Handed Booksellers of London, by Garth Nix

The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, by Diana Wynne Jones

His Majesty's Dragon, by Naomi Novik (more Regency fantasy, but full on Age of Sail adventure rather than comedy of manners, romance, or secret magic)

Among Others, by Jo Walton

Arabella of Mars, by David D. Levine

A Natural History of Dragons, by Marie Brennan

It also sounds like a Georgette Heyer or Jeeves and Wooster binge would be really fun right now!
