Yet Another Writeblr Intro 🐌
Hello friends and fellow travelers,
My name is Cristina, and I’ve been on Tumblr for a very long time. Sadly, I accidentally deleted my blog in 2020 and have since sort of abandoned most efforts to revive it. Fortunately, this allows me to reintroduce myself to the Writeblr community.
So... Hello again. I'm a thirty-year-old anicent cryptid who loves fantasy worlds, mythology, and the act of creating. I enjoy spending a little time in nature, love snails, and I’m a gamer, a reader, and on occasion, I do some writing, haha. For the last six years, I have been working on my art (mostly snail-related), but it is about time for me to focus on my writing again!
I’ve been working on a lgbtq+ fantasy series called The Kingdoms of the Nine Muses for almost a decade now, and currently I'm on Draft #2! It's a bit of a dark fantasy with romance elements, scheming goddesses, found family, angst, queer romance, mystery, gore, and badass lady warriors.
TKOTNM is about Arietes (Ari), a Warrior-to-be who grew up with the Sol Warriors after her mother was killed in battle. When someone arrives and claims that her mother is very much alive and imprisoned in the Elvish Kingdom of Pueri, it sets her on a journey to save her mother’s life. Along the way, she and a few others, including the woman (Vafer) who broke her heart, will discover something bigger is going on in Mnemosyne. People are going missing, and the trees whisper of a mysterious Hooded Figure that might be behind it all. A truth has been hidden away by those in power, history made myth, and something has lain dormant for centuries. But what would happen if it were to wake? 🌙
I think I'll finally be able to give this story the attention it deserves. The story has grown as I have grown over this past decade, and now, with more lived experience to draw inspiration from, I'll finally get this story going. As well as a writing group that meets once a month to help with accountability, lol.
Hopefully, I stick to it. I have been putting my art out into the real world recently, being brave, and at this point, I'm simply proud of myself for trying. I can still be afraid, but as long as I do it anyway, that's all that matters. I hope you're out there doing things that scare you, too. In the unknown is where we find ourselves and grow. Do hard things. I believe in you, little snails. 🐌
Thanks for reading! And nice to meet you, again~
