Hi! My nameโs Mel (not my actual name), and Iโm quite new to Tumblr ; this is my first writeblr and Iโm still discovering the website, but since the very moment I found out there was a writing community, I wanted to be part of it since it looked so great. So here we go!
๐ โ Iโm a straight eighteen year old girl from Lausanne (Switzerland), so English isnโt my first language but I love it and got quite used to it. Iโm currently finishing highschool, hoping to get my certificate this year ; then Iโll probably start studying linguistics in university.
๐ชถโ Iโve been writing since I was around ten, lots of fantasy and sometimes dystopians, and recently finished my first book (out of way too many) as a school project. I absolutely love writing, and I dream of becoming a full-time writer.
๐โ I also enjoy listening to a lot of music (and often end up putting it in my writing, since it always gives me ideas) and my favorites are epic orchestrals and metal (my favorite band is Within Temptation ๐ต), reading (mostly fantasy as well, but Iโd read anything really), getting lost on Pinterest in search for inspiration, and watching way too much YouTube.
๐ปโ Iโve started this blog to reach out to more writers, chat about writing, OCs, WIPs, and share the writing misery and fun with anyone whoโs interested really :)
I currently have way too many WIPs and ideas, some are in English and others are in French (specified in the synopsis).
YA, High Fantasy ; almost finished drafting book one of the planned trilogy (masterlist here!)
Nineteen year old Jahzara is a Dancer. She has been dancing all her life, in her birthcity of Karella, capital of the realm of Anderell, and has even been appointed as prince Adarianโs partner and teacher. Like every year, the nobles and lords of the realm gather in the capital to renew treaties with the King, and Jahzara and Adarian are to perform in front of them. Everything goes to plan until one night, during which the King is mysteriously murdered. Jahzara, the prince and their friends decide to investigate ; but is this assassination a petty act of revenge, or part of something much bigger, linked to an incoming threat from the neighboring warlands of Varandar?
YA, High Fantasy, early drafting
In the cold days and nights of the village of Dalir, Eiryn is a woodcarver apprentice, and doesnโt like anything more than spending her afternoons carving and sculpting branches into patterns and scenes and stories. Her best friend Nevrel left years before to go and seek a new life in the capital city, Eyjara, and they often write to each other. That is, until a group of soldiers from Eyjara come to Dalir to ask Eiryn for help : Nevrel, who had found a place as a guard in the palace, had mysteriously set a neighborhood on fire and is now missing, along with the crown prince...
YA, High Fantasy, early drafting
Nevrel used to play in the woods and mounts with Eiryn, exploring every little corner and bush he could find. But one day, he finds something completely different in a set of old ruins, something that will change his life forever... but how could he have known? (Parallel to Ice Fingers, the same story told by Nevrelโs point of view.)
YA, High Fantasy, planning series
Set in the future of Ice Fingers and Burning Tears. Young princess Nikkal will have to do whatever it takes to protect her kingdom from the threat of a massive war that looms in from the shadows... could it be related to Eiryn and Nevrelโs story, that took place twenty-seven years before ?
โ๏ธ Chronicles of the Enlightened Lands
YA, High Fantasy, first book finished, planned trilogy
Asheal is perfectly happy living by herself with her loyal dragon Pyros and little fox cub Feli, thank you very much. At least that way, she doesnโt set anything on fire by accident. But one night, a boy named Javan comes to find her, and reveals her fire-related powers are not unique : she is part of four teenagers her age, each one blessed with one of the four elements that they hold in them. They must set across the continent to find their Gems and unlock their full capabilities. Only, a council of lords and kings, who already formed an alliance, gives them another task : to rally the remaining kings and sovereigns, so that all realms of the Enlightened Lands can fight together against whatever enemy is creeping towards them from behind the northern mountains...
Here ! I will make intro posts about each WIP to explain the plot and the characters more in detail; Iโm looking forward to hearing from anybody who wants to, and please tell me if you want to be tagged for any updates ! ๐
