Technically it's Saturday where I live, but I assume it's Friday in some part of the world 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is also my first time answering thefridayfive questions despite not having a partner except in my dreams 💭

1. Who was your first crush?
The Professor from Powerpuff Girls. I may have daddy issues 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also experienced my first turnoff/ick through Cartoon Network when I saw Johnny Bravo and thought he was the sort of guy I want to avoid 😆

2. Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
An introvert because I need regular socialising but I also need to recover after socialising. A certain amount of socialising with people I like energises me. Socialising with people I don't really click with drains me no matter the duration.

3. What is your favorite non-sexual thing you like to do with the love of your life?
Going by my favourite k-drama tropes, I like (or fantasise about) being taken care of while I'm on my period. I once wrote a fic about that actually.

4. What is one quirky habit your partner does that either annoys you or makes you grin?
My imaginary boyfriend gets baseline jealous of my k-pop boys 😆

5. Do you believe in monogamous relationships?
It's an individual preference. I believe sometimes it's an intellectual and emotional choice, because you're a relationship anarchist or not, while other times it's your sexuality and just the way you are, polyamorous or not.

I've written 40k words of Project Fang! In celebration of this milestone, I treated myself and bought my author logo! I would've had to get an author logo eventually and I'm happy to tick that off the to-do list. I'm spacing out the purchases for authorial purposes, such as the book cover design, formatting software, etc. so I would've bought the logo at some point. But it feels good to do it as a reward or celebratory gift to myself.

Here's my logo! It's a pink watercolour key with my author name, Mynah Clement, and my tagline: 'Hopeful, relationship-driven fantasy books.'

I love it! I wanted my logo to have pink and purple in it, and initially I wanted butterflies, a bit like Stephanie Burgis's logo. But this one with the watercolour key is not similar to another one I saw or took inspiration from, so it feels truly mine. It's a premade logo, so it was affordable for me. The key reminds me of how things click into place as I keep writing even if they didn't before, so it's like a charm, warding off writer's block. The tagline is the best way I can think of to describe my books, and my approach to writing them. So there was some tweaking of the sample version of the logo's text placements to make it fit.
