Demon Slayer and Mistakes
I bought the whole Demon Slayer manga series a few months back and finally got around to reading it. I recently finished it and enjoyed it very much. I will not spoil it, but it had action, drama, tragedy, and so many other things going for it. Personally, I like what I see from the anime a little more than the manga, which is quite rare as personally, manga in general tends to be better than the anime. When I write fantasy, I tend to model my stories more on Japanese anime, manga or JRPGs. Demon Slayer has those fantasy elements that I like to write about.
I can only hope that my stories will get out there, but I cut myself off at the knees and did not realize it. When sending query letters, many literary agents will ask for the synopsis of the story and a short biography. I did not have these items, and I still submitted The Land of the Wooden Statues to different literary agents. It was admittedly an amateurish move on my part, as it is a reflection on my professionalism not having the required items. It also does not allow the literary agent to get a full grasp of the story.
The good thing is that I now have those items and am somewhat excited to send queries to literary agents. I think that I have a worthwhile fantasy story and hope that it gets accepted.
