I recently attended a Ren Faire. For author's like me who write in Fantasy, Ren Faires are a gold mine of inspiration. I must have written down 2 dozen ideas that day for my future books because of what I saw, heard, or experienced.
One of the coolest things was running into this blue-monkey-cat-fairy: Chimdera. Chimdera was totally full-immersion at the faire. Unique accent and way of speaking in a simple 3rd person kind of way. They carried shiny "jewels" which they handed out to kids and those offering donations. Chimdera throughout the day was climbing on trees (and other high-up places) and would call/meow at you from above. For donations you could get pictures with this elusive blue-monkey-cat-fairy (yes, I did left Chimdera with a good-sized donation). So if you see a blue-monkey-cat humanoid mentioned in one of my future books, you'll know what inspired it. Though I will say that Chimdera is definitely one of a kind and could never be properly replicated upon the page. Comments are closed.
