Heyyy everyone :)

welcome to my writeblr! it's lovely to see you.

my name is Karina, and i'm a 24 y/o female (she/her). i'm just a nerdy girl that loves anything books (romantasy is my current obsession, but i also enjoy romance, dark romance, sci-fi, fantasy, young adult, contemporary, etc.) supernatural tv shows (see: Supernatural; Lucifer; Resident Alien, etc.), food competition shows (literally anything Gordon Ramsey), and all things Disney! i have a soft spot for anything Powerless by Lauren Roberts, A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, Disney's Tangled, Disney's Toy Story, and Draco Malfoy. i've posted part of one of my WIPs, Your Average Fangirl, on AO3. it's a rockstar romance following a girl that gets to live her dream by joining her favorite artist on tour. he falls first, of course. i love writing romance, whether it's royalty x peasant, celebrity x fan, or friends to lovers. i'm currently working towards earning a degree in creative writing, so you may see some of my projects/assignments here when i want to share them with you!

Hello Tumblr! I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Alexis and I’m a teenage girl with a dream of her novel getting traditionally published by one of the big five publishing houses. This is my first social media I’m starting to promote my book on and I hope to expand to other platforms soon. The genre is dystopian with the possibility for fantasy in later works. I'm going to be sharing slices of my life and snippets on my book and characters here. Thank you to anyone who follows along on this beautiful journey of me trying to become an author. (I'm currently a bit over half way through the rewrite btw)

ranting...

does anyone ever get fed up with college education? like... i signed up to learn about creative writing, aka novels, short stories, flash fiction, the works. and then you get this random short film class and you're just like ?? i have no interest in film?? :(

don't get me wrong, i LOVE films and seeing scripts for the first time but pls for the love of everything don't make me record something i don't have the resources or the passion for. i'll hate it just bc it's not what i want to do

From Thicker than Blood

“Where is he?” My voice is hoarse from screaming when his guards dragged me in. “Who?” Oh, so we’re playing that game. “Your brother. Where is Kai?” “Oh, him.” He laughs, but the sound is hollow as he paces. “Did no one tell you? He’s in the dungeons for that stunt he pulled trying to save you. And to think, I used to trust him with my life.” He turns to face me again, sneering, “he couldn’t follow one simple order.”

open tag :)

when youre stressed about your current wip, start a new one! now you can be stressed about two wips instead!

It doesn't matter if you wrote 5,000 or 50 words today.

It doesn't matter if all you did was day-dream about your characters while staring at the ceiling.

You are still a writer and your progress is valid.

Hey! Just a reminder! AO3 does NOT have an app. This garbage was made by theives who steal fan artist’s work and sell it back to you.

“Oh, but it’s free!” There are ads. They are making money off of this. They are stealing from the creators you love and you are hurting those same creators if you use this app or any similar app.

Don’t use it. Report it at every opportunity.

The bass from the arena’s speakers is still vibrating in my chest long after the crowd has cleared out. I’m backstage, waiting to hand over the final revised track list for the upcoming tour – a list full of songs I’ve helped inspire, though my name is nowhere on the album credits.

Soft prompts for ships that aren't together yet.

Hugs that last longer than they should.

Immediately looking at the other after saying or doing something funny, hoping to see their smile.

Making playlists and moodboards for each other.

Trying to learn about the others' interests.

Continuously denying others who think they are together.

Always giving the utmost attention to the other if they are in a crowd.

Associating random things with them.

Getting matching keychains

Ugh, why is it so hard to come up with logical obstacles in the middle of a story???

I know how I want stories to begin and end, but not what happens in the middle.

[bookish-karina]

meanwhile i know what i want the middle to be but not the beginning or end...
