Writeblr Re-introduction
(Updated 7/6/2025 )
Note about Accessibility: I will try my best to add image descriptions to photos I post or reblog. My old wip posts are largely in screenshots, which I will go back through and add IDs. This being said, I have arthritis in my hands, so it's possible some longer reblogged posts may be missing IDs. I'll do my best to check if anyone else has added them, and copy/paste text for my original posts. I will not post or share any flashing images. I discuss and write about heavy topics that are common triggers, and I'm very forgetful with tagging in general. Please use caution when interacting with my blog.
Hello, writeblr community! 🐌
I'm Lex! I'm in my early thirties, biracial, queer in every way, disabled, and have raging ADHD and autism. I will make all of this my ocs problems. This blog is writing-focused, but I'll probably post a bit about books and other shit. I write longer novels (or try to), occasionally short stories, a lot of poetry and fanfiction, lyrics, and I also make my own moodboards and character playlists!
What I read: Mostly speculative fiction. My favorite genres are urban fantasy, paranormal, sci-fi/fantasy horror, and folk horror. I like scary houses, seemingly "normal" people with sharp claws and sharper fangs, and fucked up people desperately clinging to the smallest shreds of hope. Also, the kind of poetry that punches you in the gut (go read Ocean Vuong, Natalie Diaz, and Saeed Jones if you also want to be punched in the gut). I prefer Adult, but I've recently discovered that I haven't completely outgrown YA like I thought. I've just outgrown overhyped, white mainstream YA. I like stories where romance doesn't overshadow the plot. Or no romance at all.
Current fave authors: Ling Ma, Ocean Vuong, Octavia E. Butler, Antonija Mežnarić, Vincent Tirado.
What I write: Adult urban fantasy, queerness, neurodivergence/disability, relationship anarchy-style group dynamics. Kinda depressing poetry and songs. Big fan of writing the self as the true villian. I've only written a little horror but want to write more. I'm slowly getting into erotic horror - we eroticize violence and gore and people eating each other as a sign of devotion here.

(Under read more - I'll add links and blurbs when I can get on my laptop)
If you made it this far, come tell me about a wip that you’re currently working on/want to be working on! Bonus points if it has an intro post or tag that I can get lost in! Or anything!
Open to being tagged in writeblr tag games and receiving asks for things like Storyteller Saturday and Worldbuilding Wednesday!
