My Existential Dread

if you want to see dumbasses fall in love, dragons, and more; you're in the right place writeblr/artblr run by Bee, your friendly neighborhood ace (she/her) reblogs welcome, reposts not tag and ask game friendly! This is a blanket statement that the use of my work in any way regarding AI is strictly prohibited!

[caffeine-bee]

Hello! I'm Bee/Sterling and I am new to the writblr community. I hope to make a lot of friends here and while I'm quite shy I want to eventually participate in tag games. My stories are primarily character-driven and have some flavor of fantasy and adventure. Please note: This is a side blog! I don't actually post anything on my main blog anymore.

A little more about me

Illustrator/ Graphic Designer by trade which means I likely will post character illustrations

She/Her | Ace

Fave Tropes/Genres: Found Family, Hurt/Comfort, Angst, Squad goals(platonic relationships!), Moral ambiguity, fantasy, and dystopian, enemies/friends-> lovers, badass turned parent, LGBTQ+ rep

Recovering from Squirrel/Shiny Thing Syndrome

As you probably noticed from my tropes, I have a background in writing fanfiction!

My favorite part of writing is world-building, I will world-build for hours

What the blog is about

You may have noticed I am recovering from Shiny Thing Syndrome and as a result, once I get past the world-building phase I just... don't (tm). I am hoping to use this blog to introduce my characters and document my struggles and triumphs as a writer. (My current and shelved WIPS are below the cut)

Shelved WIPs

Nassa of the River: In a world where water is scarce and the desert is fast encroaching a young woman must face beast, man, and god to find a way to bring a dark truth to light.

Current WIPs

Dragon Song: When one of the dragon eggs of W disappears a power struggle erupts between the leading families of four nations as they rush to secure their hold over the continent by any means necessary.

Spark: Faced with Earth 20,000 years into the future S and the scattered remains of the final ship have to navigate the dangers of the unknown as they fight for their life, traveling across mountains, oceans, and deserts to find one another.

Psychics: Two childhood friends are thrown into a dangerous secret world dominated by rival factions where the boundaries of their relationship are tested as they try to find their place amidst the chaos. (Banner image was made by my good friend and graphic design deity, Taterpie)

I've been having a tough time lately, and when I don't have the energy for everything keeping up with social media is one of the first things I slip on. But I still care about all my writing buddies, so:

Reblog if you're not offended when people take a long time to answer asks, forget to reply to your replies, lag behind in tag games, or skip several weekly ask games.

The person I reblogged this from is someone I enjoy seeing on my dashboard.

Someone tried to get one of my posts to breach containment almost a week ago now and it's still only got like 50 notes.

This fact has filled me with hubris.

My containment is unbreachable. I have four blogs and never gotten more than 100 notes on a post. The majority of this site Cannot Percive me. I can post whatever I want and nobody except for some of my beloved mutuals and followers will see it.

I am invisible. I am free.

[awritersbro]

@jusiri I have blazed posts twice now, my friend, and they have recieved 200 and 100 notes respectively. Enough to make my notifications interesting for 24 hours, but not enough to make them unuseable.

From this I can only conclude that I am immune from the fires of Tumblr blaze. No scorch marks can ravage my notifications, and I can post freely knowing that they can never be rendered unusable.

Still, I'm glad you don't have that free blaze. Fate, I feel, would have found that too funny a chance to pass up.

Reblog to punish OP for hubris in a way fitting of an ancient Greek tragedy.

Then schedule a reblog of your reblog one week into the future.

[dragonhoardingwips-deactivated2]

Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?

[macabremoons]

PLEASE GOD

[squarebracket-trickster]

the entire reason I am on writeblr. I may not follow everything my moots say, but I want to be surrounded by passionate people nonetheless.

[sunny-ghost]

when you're struggling with a major plot point but you can't ask for help cause spoilers 😔

[ad-wills]

oops

[dragonhoardingwips-deactivated2]

Hey. So I know a lot of people are giving up writing because they don't get interaction on their fanfics or original posts

This is me asking you not to give up. I know I'm just one woman but I'm trying to help tumblr with my various support blogs. I'm trying to get tumblr's writeblr community thriving again.

Please don't give up. Your work is amazing, it is valued. You made it, that's amazing. Please just keep your head held high

[veridium]

If you’re reading this: this is your sign that your WIP is worth writing, is worth the effort, and that you are doing great. Keep going, take breaks, reflect. But do not lose sight of how far you’ve come on this project! You can do it!

Writing Update

Finished chapter 5 of Dragon Song! It didn't struggle with me nearly as much as I thought it did so that's good

Writing update

Someone help Thea, this woman has it bad. She literally just spent 300 words thinking about how beautiful a man is as he is cursing everyone out.

[camillenrose]

I'd like to get more involved in the writeblr and artblr community, but am (sadly) a very shy individual. So please, if any of the following fits your wip's or your interests and you'd like to talk, interact with this post, so I can find you. <3

 • a diverse cast (poc, lgbtqia+, disabled and/or mentally ill mc's)

• a love for redemption and/or corruption arcs

• slowburn romances/friendships/dynamics (I love the disliked to I trust you completely pipeline that takes years and years)

• philosophical themes

• dark fantasy/sci-fi wip's, or contemporary/historical stories that deal with the problems individuals/societies face

• a love for world building, especially when it comes to magic systems, religions and cultures

• complicated relationship webs and group dynamics 

• morally ambiguous characters, character driven stories and/or character arcs that go deep into their psychology 

• Bonus points if you illustrate your work, I love you, you can do it!!! (lets suffer together)

Also, everyone in general who wants to talk about writing/reading, scream about their oc's or would like to do some reading challenges together! 🌻

Happy STS! It's been a long, weird week, so have a character ask! Which one of your characters would you trust to dress you? Would they pick pieces in your style or would they mostly use you as a chance to play dress up?

Happy STS!

C-Can I choose none...? Well... Maybe Nadia but she would choose Zvonimir-style clothes that would be waaaaaaaaaay too expensive and hot... it's the middle of summer here. I'd probably die @_@

Ketill has Agnar to dress him, Matias doesn't care, and Thea would use me as a chance to play dress up :')

Bees are sacred

[theglitchywriterboi]

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Happy WBW! What does second-hand shopping look like in your world? (thrift stores, online marketplace platforms, word of mouth, that kind of thing!)

Happy WBW! Okay, I think it would be hilarious to do one for Spark like this;

Thrift store? Bestie, what thrift store? You are your own thrift store. Want a new shirt, welp, you got a bone needle and stole some thread off that other guy. There you go a new shirt! What? It has too many holes in it... hm... well there was this other dude who starved so you can always take his. It's new to you! If you live a few years I'm sure someone will have clothes that they don't want anymore and they'll just... give them to you??? Currency hasn't been re-invented yet so you better hope that it's a good deal.

Hello, writeblr! This is my first time on Tumblr, but I'm a writer migrating over from the writing community on Twitter. Since Twitter is dying, I'm hoping to make new friends and figure out how things are done here!

I'm a fantasy writer! I've written eighteen books (a mix of standalone and series) and published absolutely nothing because my mental health is wobbly! I'm looking for friends and people to kick my butt until I start writing again! I just had a baby and my brain doesn't work! Yay!

Can you share cat pics on writeblr, or should you just talk about writing? I also decorate cakes for fun! I don't know how things are done here!

Anyway, if you are interested in being friends, especially if you write fantasy, please comment and say hello!

Also, I'm ace and bipolar and probably autistic so if you don't like that we probably can't be friends! 🥺
