Hey friends! I'm a long time tumblr user but recently decided to delete my fandom blog and move in to writeblr! I write YA Fantasy, a little Sci-Fi, and dabble in poetry. I love books and reading <3
I'm hoping to make some new friends. But this'll probably just be a space to sort aesthetics and reblog writing resources etc.
Here's some tags I'll use while talking about my writing:
What that means is I will be active for the hour, hopping into ask boxes with followup questions as I am able, while encouraging you to do the same.
Answering the questions tells me you are cool with this.
You may answer all questions via reblog, reply, hopping in my askbox or even reposting. Just remember the #writeblr and #writeblr live tags if reblogging/reposting so we can find ya.
We’re here to help rebuild interaction in the community, so get in there and have fun with it!

I write YA Fantasy and have been writing for over 10 years now. Nothing published but I am getting closer!!
Something I love about my genre is how just about anything is possible. I love seeing how things work out and how things develop and how things change within worlds and writing.
I love a lot of different authors. Marissa Meyer, Elizabeth Lim, Elisabeth Wheatley, and Brandon Sanderson are among my favorite authors.
the thing that many writers, including myself, forget about first drafts is that they're the author's draft. every other draft can be for the readers, but the first is for you and your eyes only.
and use that advantage. don't know what to write? just leave a note and skip it. getting bored? write the scene sarcastically. want to try an idea but know it will cause plot holes? write it anyway! you can do anything. let your first draft be the most self-indulgent thing you have ever created. just let it exist.
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
I love this concept! I haven't quite been able to pull it off in any of my works, yet. But I think it's such a great twist and real show of tragedy and making a story that much more real and thought provoking...
if any one had book recs for this id live to hear them!
Hype people up for your original writing project (no fanfiction please- it's a wonderful medium but not the focus of this blog post) or work in progress by giving us some juicy details!
WELCOME TO MARKETING MONTH
Hi everyone, it's time to crack this case.... together. Please feel free to do submissions of questions for this event! Seriously! It's gonna be an entire month of us answering marketing questions and trying to figure out what to do about this conundrum.
TODAY'S QUESTION:
"I posted on social media every day and nothing happened. I have instagram, substack, TikTok, you name it. I really can't get anyone to pay any attention." Yes my dear, it's the same for many of us. My personal and only advice is "persevere." It hurts me to say it my dove but I think it's the only solution. It is challenging as well because all social media has it's own little ecosystem you must learn how to navigate like so many Faerie Paths in the woods. But perhaps the others can help more?
My number one question is: Do you also interact with other creators/writers/artists/etc? The booktocker/influencer who reads similar books you write or makes a funny reel? Do you encourage the indie author who posts about their sale/signing/content?
Posting on socials is great, but a big thing is making those connections. Let others see you are eager to engage with them and their passions, that you have similar likes. We all like a nice comment! You'd be ecstatic for the engagement, I'm sure others would be too.
no one can accuse me of AI because I’m hopelessly addicted to posting WIPs and then taking five weeks to actually share the finished product because I’m not only an attention seeker but also a procrastinator
no way i just saw people in tiktok comments crying screaming throwing up at the idea of aslan being a jesus figure. worsties the lion literally dies to save edmund (the sinner) and then rises from the dead. he tells the pevensies he can be found under a different name in our world. what else could this have meant
Writing may be hard, but the JOY of getting to expand the characters and worlds that you come up with can never be replaced. Keep going, even when it gets hard.
