"After three weeks at close quarters, however, the unsociable Jenrry seemed ready to dispense with the wisdom of her wizardly forebears, as Rondin’s constant shenanigans and protestations were becoming too much to bear." “To the Heart of the City” by Desmond Warzel

My best craft advice is "Put a giant worm in it." You can never go wrong with a giant worm. Sci-fi: Giant worm on an alien planet Fantasy: Giant worm in mountain sitting on a pile of gold Horror: Giant worm (eats people) Romance: Giant worm causes third-act breakup Mystery: Giant worm investigates
