About

Greetings! My name's Katherine Dawn Manalo, and I'm known as Flowtonair on many online platforms. I prefer being called Katie or Flow, however. I'm a bisexual demiboy, but I mainly identify as female (she/her). They/them pronouns are fine too. I'm a second-year Creative Writing student at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) University. What I'm most interested in is how to craft stories that deeply connect with one's audience.

I'd always been thinking of beginning a blog, but there were so many elements to starting one online that made it seem daunting. For starters, I'm unable to afford a hosting service and use one of the bigger platforms like WordPress. I can also get discouraged easily when I discover little traffic to my stories. But I'm going to work on this blog and change that attitude. I'd like to create connections and discussions with people on this blog and positively impact people's lives.

And as a result, welcome to The Explorer of Stories! This is a variety blog. The content I upload ranges from:
  • Reviews and recommendations to media I consume, such as video games, films, television series, online web series, anime and books;
  • Thoughts on particular subjects, such as news events;
  • Promoting my works on other websites, original or fan-creations;
  • And more!
