Ava’s Blog
For the love for stories. This is the the Archive of my Blog. The long and rambling essays, reviews, lists and explorations. I did a deep dive into how the Legend of Zelda series inspired me as an artist. My goal is still to finish all my unfinished projects, Fairy Doctor 3 and 4 released in 2025.

Ready for a little Odd… Odd Enchantments that is. A fateful romance…
I’m making a new story called Odd Enchantments on Wattpad! (updated May 2026: But it’s on break! Below is the original release information.) Romance. Fairy-Tale-ish. A cozy fantasy. A romance rekindling between an enchantress and her cursed ex? Nothing can possibly go wrong. I have long been curious about cozy fantasy. I think I’ve read…

The time I took a trip to France without leaving my apartment
Actually, I wanted to write a story set in France. This meant research. Since I’m not in a position where I can hop on a plane to France (planning a trip usually means months of waiting in eager anticipation and lots of scheduling and travel logistics), instead, I was too impatient. I decided to stay…

Author Influencers
I was looking at my Goodreads profile and discovered something. I have not been reading. The last few months have been pitiful, as also evidenced by my Libby timeline. (I didn’t know this was a thing, but now I have a graph showing my library checkouts.) There is a downward trend on that reading graph,…

Legend of Zelda Inspired: Wind Waker What ifs
When you are writing a story, sometimes the best thing to ask yourself is ‘What if’. Call it the what-if game. Storytelling is about letting your imagination run wild. Take a surprising turn. Surprise yourself with the unexpected. This is also fun to do with characters and worlds you already know. The Legend of Zelda:…

Fairy Doctor 3 is almost like a choose your own adventure novel
Wait, you have to choose your own adventure? I always read the choose-your-own-adventure games wrong. I’d start out fine, following a story through the book, until I got impatient and went looking for the ending I wanted. Then, I would flip through the book looking for how I would get to that point. Oh, don’t…

A new storyline unlocked! A Novel with multiple endings?
What about a storyline, or a novel with multiple endings? Can you make a novel like this? It is rather unusual, but hear me out. I was looking at the Legend of Zelda game Majora’s Mask recently, and it’s not just a time-traveling game, but it has puzzles and teaches you how to plan where…

Hey Listen to the Fairy Doctor 1 audiobook
Updated 1-20-2026 Fairy Doctor 1 audiobook is out now. I had previously let the robots do a digitally narration, but then I realized… hey, I can record my own audiobook and it’ll be one of those ‘recorded by the author’. So I did it! I did it all backwards, of course. I made a podcast…

Legend of Zelda, Inspired by Majora’s Mask
The heavy atmosphere in Majora’s Mask works because you only have three days to play Majora’s Mask. If you don’t succeed the moon falls and it’s all over. The world ends. Three in-game days that is. The black countdown screen hits whenever a new day begins. It is ominous and epically inspired. Badum! 72 hours…
