Story Musings: Person vs Society

January 30, 2023 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Not a common plot structure used in storytelling simply because it’s rather difficult to pull off. Most stories typically play it safe by utilizing the person vs person structure as it’s a very clear and easy story to write. There is a clear protagonist being opposed by one or more antagonists. It’s a conflict that’s … Continue reading Story Musings: Person vs Society

Book Review: The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Lee

January 23, 2023 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Another book exploring one of the past Avatars from the popular series Avatar The Last Airbender, I couldn’t help but pick it up for myself. Something that is quite interesting I hadn’t realized was that the avatar series has a unique advantage for a prequel that many prequels often don’t. Outside of Avatar Roku, we … Continue reading Book Review: The Dawn of Yangchen by F.C. Lee

Author Update: Back on Track (Mostly)

January 16, 2023 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone! A bit of a break from the normal schedule, but I wanted to provide an update on book 3 of The Legend of Nariko series. It’s been about two years since the second book, The Legend of Nariko: The Goddess Prophecy was published and since then I’ve fallen into pretty bad lows of … Continue reading Author Update: Back on Track (Mostly)

A Renewed Focus on What Matters

January 9, 2023 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone! I hope you all had a great holiday season! Mine was a bit more chaotic than I had hoped but it was still a good time with friends and family. That being said, I did miss a few goals I had set for myself, one of which is the “Top 5 Characters of … Continue reading A Renewed Focus on What Matters

Author Update: Very Behind and Struggling.

December 5, 2022 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Hello everyone, It’s been a bit of a while since I’ve given a general update on how the writing is going and with the holidays coming up, it felt like a good time to discuss. This is a bit more of a candid update as things have been rather difficult to manage these days. Inktober … Continue reading Author Update: Very Behind and Struggling.

Story Review: Dragon Prince Season 4

November 28, 2022 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

I know I said I would be focusing more on book reviews but watching The Dragon Prince Season 4 on Netflix, I came to realize something. This was one of the only stories that came to recent memory I could think of that incorporates progressive and inclusive values in a natural way that’s appropriate to … Continue reading Story Review: Dragon Prince Season 4

Story Musing: Pacing

November 21, 2022 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

The flow of a story is just as vital as the content of the story itself. Something that a lot of stories suffer from is not understanding the ratio of time to experience vs content explored. It’s something that not only afflicts shows and movies but also books as well. Books that take forever to … Continue reading Story Musing: Pacing

Story Review: The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 1

November 14, 2022 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

When I first heard about this show, my immediate reaction was hesitancy followed up by fear for what they would do to the story I grew up with. The Lord of the Rings was always a very special story to me as it heavily influenced my own writing and the themes I love to see. … Continue reading Story Review: The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power Season 1

Return from Hiatus and What I Learned

November 7, 2022 ~ Raphael K Mohan ~ Leave a comment

Hello Everyone! Inktober was quite the slog, a lot more intense than I initially imagined. I’m not sure if that’s because I’ve become slower as an artist or that my drawings have become more complex compared to last year. But it was a very encouraging month as it really pushed me to my creative limits. … Continue reading Return from Hiatus and What I Learned

Hi Everyone, Taking a small break for October to participate in inktober (not sure if it's still called that after everything). If you'd like to follow my art it would be @MochaRaffe on both Instagram and Twitter. 🙂 I'm hoping to really improve my confidence in my drawings and rejuvenate my creative spark! I will … Continue reading Small Hiatus for October
