No fully explain your mind lynxs ability and how its killing her.

Cassandra has a full variety of psychic abilities, however she lacks the mental empathic ability, where she was once able to sense feeling and emotions from others, this was a very powerful ability she had and when her mother died she felt the full force of it. The feeling of death, her psychic abilities rebounded onto her and instead made her feel it, like she was dying (but over years rather than in an instant due to self-preservation), over a prolonged period of time and although it is unlikely to kill her it certainly could, but it leaves her drained and weakened.

Favorite locations to use in your creative work? e.g. a forest, the mountains, an ultra-luxurious hotel-casino like you see on the Vegas Strip, or a real world location like Vancouver.

Cities, they don't have to be real but I usually like to use urban areas of some kind having spent most of my life in one. They feel very familiar to me and thus it's what I love to use the most.

How do these abilities affect media, such as music and theatre? This is assuming these abilities are commonplace.

A comparison to reality is that IRL females of most species are favored, from the anglerfish dimorphism to the peacocks dull colors to better hide. In both cases the males have adapted to give the females an easier time choosing a mate while keeping local resource drain low (if male anglerfish were as large as females the food supply would be cut in half, since the males can't eat that means the availability of food is higher)

Since our world favors females, or society has been impacted by this, encouraging the preservation of our ideal female figures. As technology advances the plane is leveled off. Our ultimate goal, in media and in life, is for the two genders to be thought of and treated exactly the same. Hence the action girl archetype we have today.

So if these abilities are found throughout society, or all of nature, then their media should likewise be affected, especially if it's a sought after trait.

Well it also depends on the country and the culture! One of the countries in my settings, Epike, has very few people with abilities at all to the point where such a minority is hardly recgonized, however the people and government do acknowledge that these things exist. But the primary presence of abilities is within a pyrokinetic military unit called the Guardians, so a bunch of fire wielding canines for the most part.

Another one of these countries has had them present for so long in the region, that there were a mixture of normal people and those with abilities long before the local towns and cities were established. But there was strength in numbers for those without, and eventually with the dawn of modern civilization things began to balance, modern weapons gave those without power the ability to have it even over those who did and many of these abilities didn't grant people the ability to be like superman or anything, no one was invulnerable. Laws were created to give "equal" judgement to anyone who used their abilities in crimes for example, as a fair treatment to the people, because in the end as long as they could obey the law and support society, it didn't really matter. A lot of media reflected this of course where you would have characters in fiction where it was natural to have this, or someone who would be showing off on a television show and such. Sports due to their nature on the international stage found themselves with special balance rules that forbade anyone from using such abilities.

In many of my settings these powers and abilities, all these traits are far from new and have existed with the people for a long time, at least long enough that the first recorded mention would have been a very very long time ago. This allowing for things to sort of balance things out, but not enough for society to ignore their presence.

Do you have a specific place you go when you want to write? Like the library or a favorite chair?

I usually write at home, whether it's in the living room or at my desk. I don't really have any specific spot I like to be, it's usually just wherever I am when the drive hits and I'm able to.
