@Alfaerin Mielle? Who’s that? There’s a Michelle here, but no Mielles!😂
When the contest was announced, I didn’t even have an idea to start with—and my reaction to The Villainess Turns the Hourglass was so extreme—I just ran with it—I figured that if I accomplished nothing else—I would cleanse my palate of that revenge porn!
I am guessing that “My Life as a Villainess” probably started in a similar way. But unlike that, and my favorite, “Tearmoon Empire”, I want to play Casandra mostly straight—which is tough—avoiding silliness without becoming too dark or making my reader think that this is revenge porn—believable redemption is my goal—I hope by making one of the souls being a 10y/o a naive quest for redeeming her previous life tormentor will be more believable. I also hope that by making her 10 folks won’t be thinking about romantic love so much—there is only the love between friends—at least through the volumes that are currently residing in my head!
