If you were to meet a unicorn, you would have a layer of expectations: looks like a white horse, pure and wise. What would you say if it turned out to be green and stupid?
If you were to meet a mermaid, you would expect her to be young, enchanting, beautiful. What if were an old hag?
If you were to meet a chimera, you would expect an ugly, savage beast. What if it turned out to be a sweet, lonely, misunderstood creature?
I’m not saying that’s what you will find in my manuscript, but I am making a conscious effort to climb out of a traditional box. What can I say, good luck to me!
