writeblr intro!

hello everyone, i'm mina! i'm back on writeblr after a long break, and would love to connect with some fellow writers to discuss wips and writing and all our interests <3

some info on me below!

mina, the person

howdy, my name is mina, i use the pronouns she/her, 30, and from austria

i am currently pursuing a degree in education, and am working full time, so i don't have as much time to spend on writing as i'd like, but what can ya do

my favourite genres to read (and write) are fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction; but really, i'll read anything that sounds interesting!

my interests outside of books are a little all over the place lol, and include musicals, horses, linguistics, and formula 1. if any of that vibes with you let's be friends pls!

mina, the writer

i am currently in the worldbuilding + plotting phase of a fantasy wip! it's basically all my fave tropes thrown into a blender: flawed prophecies, questions of identity, religious and political tensions, wholesome romance despite it all. proper intro post for it coming soon!

i also plan on participating in a young storyteller contest this summer - for that, i am drafting a novella about grief and resurrection. (basically: what happens when you don't let the dead be dead in peace?)

when time allows i also write reviews of the books/shows i've watched! and i'm working on a podcast on media literacy with a friend of mine.

all ask games, tag games, and chatting in general are welcome anytime!

thank you so much for reading! i'd love to make some writer friends, so it would help a lot if people would interact with this post <3 can't wait to meet and read y'all soon!

then again, "always" slightly mispronounces "hallways." it also echoes it.

My dear friend Johnathan Harker has begun his lovely food blog as he travels through the countryside of Transylvania. Hope his journey is smooth and his business concludes swiftly!

its good to acknoweldge the hollowness of revenge but sometimes you really do just need a story about someone who gets hurt and then kills and kills and kills and kills their enemies. its cathartic, babey.
